Bareboat Yacht Charter Information

When you arrive one of our friendly staff will be waiting to ensure your boarding goes smoothly and to take you through the operation of your yacht. A thorough briefing will give you the confidence needed to ensure your holiday is one of relaxation.

Your scheduled departure is shown on the charter agreement.

Please be ready to board 10 minutes prior to this time, so that every possible minute of your valuable holiday time is spent on the water enjoying this magnificent waterway.

During your briefing we take the approach that no question is a silly question - the more questions asked the better informed you will be!

We will make some suggestions on recommended mooring and anchoring spots, both in Pittwater and the Hawkesbury waterways, before you head off to start your sailing holiday.

We look forward to meeting you and your crew.
