Embark on a sailing cruise on our magnificent 61ft classic yacht, Southwinds, and experience the magic of Sydney Harbour from the water. Benefit from the knowledge of our friendly and experienced skippers, who will show you the ropes on what promises to be an unforgettable day out.
Departing from Manly Sailing in Manly, you'll take a short tender ride to Southwinds waiting in the bay. You'll have the opportunity to help set the sails and steer the boat, or you can simply sit back, relax and take in the views. Get involved as much or as little as you like. No experience is necessary.
Cruise past the multi-million dollar waterfront mansions of the rich and famous, discover hidden harbour beaches and revel in uninterrupted views of iconic attractions including the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Other things to note:
Please feel free to bring snacks and drinks.
Boarding Southwinds is via a powerboat tender and requires a few steps up/down on and off the boat.

Beautiful day spent on a sailing boat. Our instructor Steve was amazing. He explained to us with passion and patience how to sail and gave us so much extra information about the bay and historical details.
Highly recommended tour.

Was an amazing experience! Our guide was friendly, knew the harbour, history and interesting points of interest. We felt safe, comfortable and exhilarated. Even though there was little breeze, our guide was able to give us enough of an experience to feel satisfied. Thank you Manly Sailing!

I sailed with Chris and Anne 5 years ago. I did a few of the courses, Introduction To Sailing, Competent Crew and a Spinnaker course. I also did a bunch of the Twilight races which I think are the best value and where you can practice the skills you've picked up. After the Twilights everyone goes back for dinner to the sailing club. There's a friendly atmosphere and a few drinks help keep the jokes coming as they run through the results from the race that night.
Chris is funny and a decent bloke. Anne is lovely and keeps the place running if you ask me.
I live locally and Anne was kind enough to introduce me to a skipper. I crewed for him for 3 or 4 years and then went off and bought my own boat. These days I potter around the harbour and bump in to Chris down the sailing club. He's gone out of his way all this time later to help me figure out the right boat to buy and understand solutions to the new problems you get when you buy a boat.
There is no better way to get a unique view of Manly, Sydney and the harbour than to sail on it. It's an experience most people pass by but I can't recommend it enough. And Chris and Anne will help you do that and get the skills you need to sail properly if you're interested in doing that.
