A relaxing afternoon on the water. - A wonderful afternoon spent on the water. My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful platter of seafood, fruit and cheese whilst Michael toured is around the sights of Pittwater. His local knowledge and chatter made the afternoon interesting and informative. We'd definitely come back on another occasion, and I'll try not to drop a glass overboard next time ;)

fantastic, relaxing day out. - We had an incredible yacht experience on Pittwater with our skipper Michael. The booking process was easy and the communication leading up to the day was fantastic. The seafood platter was delicious, the swim in a beautiful secluded cove was refreshing and a perfect spot away from crowds, the whole trip was perfectly relaxed. Michael was friendly, informative, and an absolute top bloke who made the day even better. Highly recommend for a special day out on the water!

Exceptional - This was by far the highlight of my trip in Australia. Despite it being a windy and cold day....it was still amazing. Beginning with the arrival of the captain himself quite literally on time with Everything ready! The view to get To the yacht was crazy. The yacht itself was another one. Mr Michael the captain himself was VERY nice, informative and very inviting. Despite it being a solo tour the money was completely worth it. Now I don't know which was better......the last spot we docked the yacht (beyond scenic, peaceful, no breeze,PERFECT place to do EVERYTHING) orrrr the seafood platter Mr Michael's wife made for me . The picture she sent me to see the platter before ordering did ABSOLUTELY NO justice. Theeee presentation almost took all of my phone's storage so I switched phones(thank God) the food ITSELF baring in mind I don't eat prawns was CRAZY. Every meat was FRESH . Thankfully she did too much so I took some home lol. I cant express my gratitude for them accommodating me and me only. I hope a 6 hour tour would be available next time I return to Australia. Thank you so much mr Michael and Mrs Lynda! 🇦🇺🫶🏾

Heavenly Twilight Sail - I chose the twilight sail experience which was amazing! It was just the two of us and our skipper who picked us up from the Palm Beach ferry wharf in a small boat and took us out to the yacht. He was very personable and gave us some interesting insights about Pittwater. Our dinner was a lovely seafood platter which we enjoyed offshore at The Basin. As we sailed into the sunset, we enjoyed our BYO beer and wine and toasted the New Year. Thanks Michael & Lynda for an outstanding experience.

Heaven on the water - A unique experience to see the beauty of Sydney’s landscape and waterways. Our skipper was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us into a hidden cove where we could swim in the gorgeous turquoise waters. Then we enjoyed sumptuous and generous lunch platters as we gently cruised along. A perfect day. Thanks to Taylor Made Escapes for a wonderful experience.

Proposal charter - I booked with Michael and Lynda to propose to my partner and they made the whole experience greater than we could have imagined.
Their understanding of the importance of the day and their care to make sure the day was perfect for us won’t be forgotten.
Down to the platter Lynda prepared, everything was perfect and we will certainly be back.
If you’re looking for an incredible day, do yourself a favour and give them a call.

Lunch on board - We were met on the dock by Ian and his daughter and taken to the yacht by tender; we headed out on the majestic waterways of the Pittwater, the weather was calm after three days of heavy rains and wind squalls, so we delighted in the conditions and looked forward to a great day together. The sails were up, and we entered that quiet spell of just wind, waves and the flap of the sails as we glided through the water, a bit of history was regaled by Ian, our skipper, as we watched the small bays and tiny hamlets of Great Mackerel Beach and Barrenjoey Head quietly pass by. After coming about, we sailed with the wind behind us and then headed into a secluded inlet to take a mooring while our lunch was served, a sumptuous seafood splendour, with tropical fruits and cheese selection. We ate and swam and relaxed as the afternoon crept up, it was soon time to leave and return to the real world. Thanks, guys, for a wonderful day our family certainly enjoyed every moment.

The best way to spend an afternoon in Sydney - Such a lovely way to spend an afternoon whilst in Sydney. The yachts are beautiful, and Michael and Lynda are absolutely lovely. They know so much about Pittwater and it was a really special surprise to see some visiting Fur Seals too. The food platter was a wonderful addition and tailored to our dietary request. We look forward to seeing them again soon.
