【 Sail & Snooze】Sydney Harbour Sailing Tall Overnight Harbour Cruise

A unique overnight harbour cruise on a magnificent tall ship in the world’s most beautiful Sydney Harbour

This fully hosted and engaging experience begins with a relaxed wine and canapés evening cruise with a chance to climb the mast and includes one night’s accommodation in beautiful Sydney Harbour. The next morning, you will enjoy a hot buffet breakfast followed by a guided tour around historic Goat Island on our Convicts tour.

Step aboard one of our beautiful Tall Ships and experience all that Sydney’s wonderful harbour has to offer from the unique perspective of a historic tall ship.

Choose how much or how little you wish to be involved in sailing the ship. Those wishing to get “hands on” will be given one-on-one sailing coaching from our trained crew, who will ensure you get the best tall ship sailing experience possible based on your interests. You will have a unique opportunity to go aloft and take part in sail handling – this is not available on our usual day cruises.

Alternatively, those who prefer to watch from the deck will have the opportunity to hear about Sydney Harbour’s marine life from our knowledgeable host.

Sail the harbour bound for historic Goat Island where you will disembark for an “exclusive access” guided Convict Tour.

See some of Australia’s most important and intact convict-built buildings whilst being entertained with enthralling stories from your guide.
