About this tour
A private two-hour twilight sail on Sydney Harbour for up to four guests, departing at 5pm as the light fades. You'll cruise past the Opera House and Harbour Bridge whilst a local skipper points out landmarks, wildlife and waterfront properties, with a bottle of French champagne included. The Beneteau 40.7 yacht offers plenty of deck space and a covered seating area, so you're comfortable in any season.

- French champagne included with the sail

- Sunset views of Opera House and Harbour Bridge

What to expect
You'll meet your skipper at King Street Wharf #9 at 5pm and board the Beneteau 40.7. Once settled, the sail begins immediately — the skipper will talk you through Sydney's waterfront landmarks, notable suburbs and any marine life you spot whilst you watch light change across the harbour. The vessel has a large covered seating area and adequate safety equipment for all conditions. You'll spend the full duration under sail, champagne in hand, until drop-off at 7pm.
There's no structured activity beyond sailing and commentary — this is a relaxed float rather than a lesson or competitive outing. All four guests share the same experience and view from the one yacht.

Good to know
This suits couples, small family groups or friends wanting a low-key special occasion without crowds or group tours. It's physically gentle — suitable for all fitness levels and no activity required beyond sitting. However, the sail happens regardless of weather, so light rain or chop may affect comfort; if sea conditions are poor on the day, the operator may offer an alternative time. Minimum age for champagne is 18. Group is capped at four, which keeps it intimate but means you can't add extra guests. King Street Wharf has public transport nearby if you're not arriving by car. Service animals are welcome. The price listed typically includes the skipper and one champagne bottle; confirm whether additional drinks cost extra.
