Pittwater Paradise Escape

Step aboard your private yacht in the heart of Sydney Harbour, where city landmarks meet tranquil anchorages. Begin your journey cruise beneath the Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House before dropping anchor in peaceful coves such as Athol Bay, Camp Cove, or Parsley Bay. These first two days are devoted to relaxed cruising, exploring hidden beaches, and indulging in the city's celebrated dining scene. Whether swimming in turquoise bays, strolling through heritage gardens, or toasting the skyline from deck at sunset, Sydney promises an unforgettable welcome.

• Take a seaplane flight for sweeping aerial views of the Opera House and coastline
• Enjoy a refreshing swim or paddle straight from your yacht's swim platform
• Discover the charm of Milk Beach, Kutti Beach, and Shark Island

Cruise north through Sydney Heads to reach Pittwater, a serene sanctuary embraced by Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Often described as the city's hidden paradise, Pittwater offers a contrast of calm waterways, golden headlands, and a refined yet laid-back lifestyle. Guests may also opt to join the yacht via seaplane or car transfer. Once there, enjoy the freedom to swim, kayak, and explore the tranquil bays framed by native forest.

• Savour cocktails on deck as the sun sets behind the headlands
• Visit a local oyster farm and sample freshly shucked Sydney rock oysters
• Spend the morning paddleboarding, kayaking, or testing the yacht's motorised toys

A short cruise north brings you to Palm Beach, a destination renowned for its golden sands and effortless elegance. Encircled by ocean on one side and calm waterways on the other, it's a haven for swimming, paddleboarding, and soaking in coastal tranquillity. From Pittwater it is a short run around the bay to the Hawkesbury River, so the usual rhythm is a night in Pittwater and then a night up the river, where the water is flat, the cliffs are sandstone and the anchorages are quiet.

• Hike to Barrenjoey Lighthouse for sweeping views over Broken Bay
• Spend a laid-back afternoon sunbathing or enjoying water activities from the yacht
• End the day with sundowners on deck as the horizon glows in shades of gold and rose
• A night up the Hawkesbury River

Cruise south along the scenic coastline, watching as the city's skyline reappears in the distance. Spend your final day soaking up Sydney's energy- a perfect balance between urban vibrance and seaside serenity. An elegant conclusion to a journey that captures the essence of Sydney, from its cosmopolitan heart to its peaceful northern waters.

• Take a final seaplane flight for a bird's-eye view of the harbour
• Unwind with a last swim or explore local galleries and boutiques
• Enjoy a private dinner beneath the stars, framed by the Opera House and Harbour Bridge
