Skippered Seawind Resort 1050 Catamaran Charter on KIRRALEE, Australia
Frank was so accommodating. I really enjoyed him and he went out of his way to make our entire experience perfect! His experience really showed in his ability to position the boat in the perfect spot and knew where the best views were in the harbour.

To the east of Sydney is the Tasman Sea, to the north is the Hawkesbury River, and the beautiful Blue Mountains stand on the west. Sydney experiences warm and sometimes hot summers and mild winters, offering ample scope for boaters to enjoy their pursuit.

Sydney Boat Hire Tips
The spectacular beauty of Sydney Harbor makes it a perfect locale to spend a day on the waters. Hop on a Sydney ferry and experience some of the most well-known landmarks in the area. Take a cruise to seep in the surrounding beauty in a laidback way. Dinner cruises are also available to see the sunset and enjoy a meal on board. Kayaking rentals and many high-speed boat tours are also available. Book a catamaran or hire a party boat in Sydney if you want to host an event on the water!
Boat ramps, marinas, and yacht clubs abound in and around the harbor area. Apart from boating, Sydney Harbor is one of the best places to go fishing. In fact, many are of the opinion that the fishing in Sydney is the best in the state. Mulloway, yellowtail kingfish, whiting, and bream are a few of the species available here. If you are in luck, you might also catch a glimpse of the humpback whales. The nearby Hawkesbury River is yet another place where boaters can enjoy boating amidst breathtaking natural beauty. There are many safe anchorages and marinas along the river. While exploring the sparkling waters of the Sydney harbor, don’t forget to include the nearby Lake Glenbawn, Port Stephens, Myall Lakes, the Lower Illawarra, and the Big River in your itinerary.
