Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic day on the Harbour! The weather was perfect,a beautiful 10-12 knot N.E.; the crew experts at sailing and cheerful and encouraging as well. You could get involved on the coffee - grinders if you wished or just stay out of the way and enjoy the ride. The fact that the crew were able to take a group of unfamiliar people to sea and not only compete in a race but also to get line honours tells you how good the Skipper and crew are! I can't wait to try the cruising option on the other days of the week! 6 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great experience. Great experience on a Formula 1 yacht. Perfect weather, good crew and we won after a close tussle all the way around the course. 23 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by It was like a real America's Cup race against some formidable oposition. Great hands on experience an would recommend to anyone looking for good day out on the harbour with some action. 15 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great afternoon! Really enjoyed the day. Not overly crowded, but would have preferred a few less people to enable a bit more participation and general movement on the yacht. 18 January 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic way to spend an afternoon! Sydney harbour is magnificent and sailing in a yacht race on a sunny afternoon with a friendly, experienced crew is certainly a fun way to see it. We felt being in an actual race was more exciting than just a sailing experience and would recommend it. We had the maximum number of guests (25) which we felt made the boat a little too crowded but it wasn't really a problem. Everyone was offered the opportuniity to assist by working the grinders during the race and there is ample time for you to take hold of the wheel before and after the race. Remember to take your camera! 16 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Go for it Flew down from Brisbane for it... Had a great time, best part was being on the harbour & seeing Sydney from the water !!... Crew were very friendly & encouraged us to participate in the race... Definitely would recommend as a "To Do " experience ... Debbie 7 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by enjoyed the experience the sail was very enjoyable and the crew very experienced and friendly. unfortunately we had to join the RP Edward race rather than a match race and the racing was not close with AUS 40 taking the leading early and never being pushed. Whilst it was possible to steer after the race it would have been nice to have steered a bit more during the race particularly as there was no close racing and the boat does have the benefit of 2 steering locations not much chance of getting into difficulties. 6 December 2012
