Sydney Harbour
Australia’s aquatic playground. Sydney Harbour offers 240 km of shoreline defined by sheltered coves, pristine beaches and crystal clear water. It’s also home to a plethora of acclaimed restaurants and the internationally recognised architectural icons that define it—the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Whitsundays
Australia’s most famous yachting destination boasts beautiful scenery and the ideal climate for aquatic adventures. Seventy-four Islands with stunning beaches and tropical waters teeming with sea life and coral reefs make it one of the world’s best snorkelling and diving playgrounds.
Pittwater
The Pittwater region is a large, uncrowded waterway surrounded by unspoilt natural bush of Ku-ring-gai National Park. Located only 30 km north of Sydney, the area is rich in aboriginal history. Along with surrounding Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury River, Pittwater is a boating paradise lined with pristine beaches and beautiful hiking trails. A range of protected anchorages enables easy access to Scotland Island and iconic Palm Beach restaurants like The Boathouse and Dunes.
