HOBART YACHTS - HOBART WATERFRONT

Come sailing aboard the 62 foot Maxi Helsal IV, a luxury ocean racer/cruiser.  Helsal IV can go anywhere anytime, from a few hours on the Derwent River to a corporate Match Race, weekends away in the D'entrecasteaux Channel or a few weeks in the wilderness ... Hobart Yachts will take you there.  From the white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters of the East Coast to the sublime wilderness of the West, these are Hobart Yacht's cruising grounds.

HOBART CITY PADDLE - SANDY BAY 

​See Hobart’s waterfront from a perspective few get to experience – from your very own kayak. You’ll begin by paddling past historic Battery Point and gliding under fishing wharfs before entering the Hobart docks. Here you can paddle beside luxury yachts, tall ships, fishing vessels and possibly even Australia’s Antarctic research flagship, Aurora Australis. Enjoy an on-water dining experience with fish and chips from the comfort of your kayak while your guide fills you in on some local stories. Find hobart city paddle on Facebook - trips depart from marieville esplanade, sandy bay.

SAIL BRUNY

It doesn’t get more classic than a sailing experience off North Bruny Island aboard a 32-foot cutter built from Tasmanian timber. Hop aboard Ubique of Hobart and you’re in for a day with salty air on smiling lips. Chris and Jo are Bruny locals who offer day sail adventures, sailing instruction as well as custom charters. The charismatic couple have a soft spot for the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and sheltered coves of the region. Sit back with an onboard picnic as the sails fill, or take the helm and feel Ubique respond to the elements under the watchful eye of your skipper. Built locally in 2002, the 32-foot Bristol Channel Cutter is based at the Oyster Cove Marina in Kettering, a short 45 minute drive from Hobart. In around an hour from a capital city you can be aboard this cutter, leaving the shores behind. Go on, set sail.

​SERENGETI 

Set sail on a luxury catamaran in Hobart. Bareboat and skippered charters are available on the 48-foot Serengeti. Whether you’re a sailor eager to get down the D’Entrecasteaux Channel under your own steam, or you’d prefer the skipper and some pinot-pouring crew members to take care of you, Serengeti is your high-end floating escape. Sail or motor down the Channel, pull up to Peppermint Bay for lunch, and later on drop anchor in your own private cove and light the barbecue to cook up your line-caught flathead. Let the wind take you on an indulgent adventure.
