When it comes to
sailing and boating, Australia has it in spades… not that a spade is very
useful when you are out on the open ocean with nothing but you and the
elements. But I digress…
If you are
visiting this beautiful great southern land of ours and you are looking for
something unique and memorable to do then you can’t go past the ocean and the
experience that boat hire and yacht charter can bring. When it comes to boating and sailing,
we kinda know what we are doing too - but then that’s no surprise when you live
on an island that is surrounded by the ocean.
Our wide and
varied coastline provides uninterrupted adventures and incredible moments as
you and your party tackle inlet after inlet, discovering coastal pools and
secret tidal areas to further explore.
Chartering a Sailing Boat is Fun!
Above all, making
the decision to hire your own sailing boat is one of the most fun things you
can do! Most of the boats that are made available for hire in and around Sydney
are not self drive, and even if you have your own license, the boat owners tend
to want to drive their own, or alternatively they have their own team who
handle these things.
Chartering a sailing boat however means that you are in control - and
since most of these boats are hired by seasoned veterans of the boating scene
the enjoyment levels increase exponentially.
Is a Yacht the Same as a Sailing Boat?
I often get asked
this question and so thought I would take this moment to shed some light on
this question and explain what is what.
A Yacht usually
refers to a large vessel with NO SAILS. This term has grown to cover all areas
of vessels, with the larger being referred to as Super or Mega yachts. There
are actually superyachts that also have sails - in fact the biggest one is
being built now and is over 460ft long and 300ft high!!!! - read the full
article and see all the amazing pics of this build here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3243137/The-world-s-LARGEST-super-yacht-revealed-Russian-billionaire-s-260m-mega-yacht-300ft-high-eight-floors-underwater-observation-room.html
Why is Sydney Harbour the Place to Go When
Sailing or Chartering a Boat?
When it comes to beautiful destinations and
iconic locations, nothing even comes close to Sydney and its magnificent
harbour. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House are probably two of the
most instantly recognisable landmarks in the world and when they are standing
proudly on each side of a pristine harbour you really cant find anything to
fault. Add to this the perfect year round Sydney weather and you start to see
why Australia really is the lucky country.
So what are you waiting for? Come on in,
the waters fine!
