Your time on the water with Sail Central Coast

Charters depart from Hardys Bay on the Central Coast or Palm Beach on the Northern Beaches and are run at a relaxed pace, shaped around the conditions and the type of day you want to have.

Some groups prefer to spend time sailing. Others anchor early for a swim or settle into a quiet bay for lunch and drinks.

Others head further into the creeks and secluded bays within the national park.

It’s completely up to your preference for the day.

    “Who said you can't sail in winter? We were a group of 11 ladies celebrating my birthday. Bruce took us out and we had an unforgettable experience! He was very friendly and professional annd made us feel welcome and safe on his yacht. We stopped for a short swim and then lunch. We didn't feel rushed at any time. I would highly recommend Bruce!”

    “We had such an amazing day for our work Christmas party. Fantastic to see a seal and the amazing scenery. Bruce had so much local knowledge, which was very interesting. Stopped for a swim and followed this refreshing swim with beautiful lunch. Very welcoming, friendly and professional. It was my first time on a yacht and after today, it won't be my last. Would highly recommend.”

    “We overnighted on the yacht which as indicated is well appointed and you can wish for nothing. Bruce takes time to show you around, where everything is and how it works. its a lovely vessel. He also left us some kayaks for use. We slept like babies in the master bunk which is extremely comfortable, with the sea breezes blowing and the water lapping, whilst gazing at the stars.”

    “Communication with Bruce was extremely easy, he reached out the week before our trip to give us a few more details and again the night before. During the sail Bruce gave us a lot of info on the local area and Joshua shared stories of his upbringing in the marine life. We were able to enjoy conversations with them both as well as head to the front to chill just us.”
