The allure of Australia’s sailing landscape lies in its unmatched diversity, offering an incredible array of experiences for all types of seafarers. From the vibrant marine life of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system, to the secluded tranquility of Tasmania’s coastal hideaways, Australia provides a stunning backdrop for unforgettable sailing adventures.

Its idyllic weather, with warm summers and mild winters, makes it an ideal destination for year-round sailing. The constant breezes along its vast coastline make for an exciting and challenging sailing experience, while the calm waters of its numerous bays and inlets offer peaceful cruising opportunities.

Australia is also renowned for its world-class marinas and sailing facilities, making it a convenient destination for sailors. Whether you’re a solo adventurer, a family on vacation, or a corporate group, Australia caters to all your needs with a wide range of services and amenities.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Australia

Embarking on an Australian sailing adventure with Yachting.Rent and unsure whether to choose a sailing boat or a catamaran? Both offer unique experiences, and the choice depends on your sailing ambitions, comfort needs, and personal preferences.

Sailing boats, embraced by traditional sailing enthusiasts, offer a dynamic, exhilarating sailing experience. They’re well-suited to navigate Australia’s expansive coastline, explore hidden coves, and undertake long, adventurous voyages. Sailing boats typically provide better upwind performance and are usually more fuel-efficient.

On the other hand, catamarans, renowned for their stability and spaciousness, provide a steady sailing experience with minimum rolling, making them an excellent choice for families, especially those with children or anyone prone to seasickness. Catamarans feature expansive deck spaces and larger living areas, perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and socializing. They’re ideal for cruising through the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef, anchoring in shallow bays, and enjoying leisurely exploration around the Whitsunday Islands.

At Yachting.Rent, our fleet encompasses a diverse range of both sailing boats and catamarans, each diligently maintained and equipped with the latest amenities and safety equipment. Our knowledgeable team is ready to assist you in selecting the right vessel for your Australian sailing adventure, ensuring an unforgettable journey. Dive into the beauty of Australian waters with Yachting.Rent, and let’s make your sailing dreams come true.

Yachts & Boats For Hire in Sydney Harbour

We offer a wide range of handpicked luxury charter yachts and boats readily available for hire in Sydney. Sydney Harbour is an aquatic playground for Sydneysiders and is home to one of the world’s most beautiful and natural harbours. It’s best known for its harbour-front Sydney Opera House, the iconic Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour and the Circular Quay port. Chapman is the most experienced and premier yacht charter company Sydney, Australia has to offer in this dream destination.

With an array of secluded hidden beaches and bushland, the crystal-clear waters of Sydney are a huge attraction to tourists and locals alike. And what better way to take in all the harbour has to offer than onboard a luxury boat.

People from all over the world flock to Sydney harbour to experience world-class restaurants, designer boutiques and indulgent spas— but most of all to enjoy the Harbour, which seems to have it all. Many choose to spend a day onboard a yacht to enjoy swimming, the sun, and the array of water activities before anchoring up by Taronga Zoo in Athol Bay for stunning views back across Sydney, the Opera House, and Harbour Bridge. If you are looking for an extended experience, one of our superyachts can welcome you and your family onboard for a 5 day adventure.

Your itinerary will include cruising the iconic waterways of Sydney all the way up to Palm Beach and the Pittwater region, where you can discover some of the best anchorages on the east coast. It’s the most dreamlike yachting experience Sydney has to offer— and it can be yours with Chapman by your side.

From Sea to Land,

Once ashore, discover more about the area on one of the various walks that take in stunning Sydney landmarks. One of the world’s best city walks is from Woolloomooloo to Barangaroo, stopping at Mrs Macquaries Chair for a perfect postcard picture.

Each New Year’s Eve, Sydney Harbour puts on a magical display as hundreds of fireworks soar off the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The celebratory atmosphere makes it the perfect way to ring in the new year. Seeing the fireworks from a yacht will ensure you get up close and personal and have the best view in the city.

When it comes to weather, Sydney is quite predictable. The warmer months are commonly from November to February which is when the Harbour is most alive and buzzing with activity.

The cooler months are March to August. Even if you are visiting in the cooler months, make sure to pack swimwear, as it is common to enjoy warm, sunny days during winter.

Australia luxury yacht charter

Boasting the world's greatest natural reef plus dazzling waterfront cities, rainforest framed beaches and tropical waters, the many sides of Australia provide unparalleled cruising possibilities in Oceania. With such vast and diverse cruising grounds, a luxury yacht charter in Australia has something for everyone. Mix bright lights and iconic sights in Sydney with golden beaches, discover final-frontier beauty in the Kimberley, dive into the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef or swoon over shifting sands and shallows of the Whitsunday Islands.

Australia yacht season and weather

Located in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia offers warmer temperatures and sunnier days during what would be the cold winter season in higher latitudes. 

The Great Barrier Reef and The Whitsundays offer ideal sailing conditions during Australia's winter months, from April to November before the wet season begins from December to March. Temperature highs during this time range from 25 to 30°C. The city of Sydney and surrounding coastlines meanwhile are best visited during the dry season which occurs between the months of November to late January, with temperature highs ranging from 23 to 26°C. 

Australia yacht charter itineraries

The majority of Australia charters are taken around the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays where there are many sheltered anchorages for overnighting.

Cairns is a popular jumping off point for Great Barrier Reef charters and Cairns Marlin Marina accommodates yachts up to 140 metres. Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina in Port Douglas has 135 berths that can accommodate yachts up to 50 metres.

For the Whitsundays, Coral Sea Marina near Airlie Beach accommodates yachts up to 80 metres and Hamilton Island Marina has slips for yachts up to 45 metres.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system, comprising more than 3,000 reef chains, coral cays and picturesque islands. Charters are characterised by short hops and a dizzying array of picturesque stops. Set sail from Cairns to the Ribbon Reefs, where tropical fish abound. Scuba dive at Ribbon Reef No.5, nicknamed Andy’s Postcard, and anchor overnight under a jaw-dropping blanket of stars before revelling in more sublime snorkelling and underwater magic at Pixie’s Pinnacle and Cold Hole. Next up, cruise to the bewilderingly beautiful beaches of Lizard Island and the aptly named Blue Lagoon. Around 45 nautical miles south of Lizard Island, sample a little Australian history at Cooktown – the site of Captain Cook’s landing. Your skipper can then cherry pick the best snorkelling spots en route to an idyllic picnic on a private and secluded sandy cay before heading south to the fine dining and five-star spas of exclusive Port Douglas, 30 nautical miles north of your home port of Cairns.

Another exceptional charter ground brimming with easy passages and sublime cruising is the Whitsunday Islands . This spellbinding archipelago boasts more than 70 isles with show-stopping snorkelling and diving, exceptional corals and a dusting of exclusive resorts. Charters often depart from Hamilton Island, where picturesque beaches abound. Cruise 10 nautical miles to the snorkelling paradise of Neck Bay and spend a tranquil night on anchor before making passage to Long Island Sound and the protected waters of Cid Island. Kayak along the mangroves and watch the sun melt into the horizon at Katoomba Bank. Along the west coast of Whitsunday Island, unleash the water toys – this is one of the few areas where jet skis are authorised. Hook Island (10 nautical miles north) offers more incredible diving and snorkeling, with reef fish, turtles, dolphins and manta rays often spotted in the Whitsunday Passage. Don’t miss the Outer Reef, where the dramatic drop-offs are home to turtles, reef sharks and barracuda. Finally, cruise south to the iconic sweeping sands of Whitehaven Beach.

While the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef are justifiably popular for charters, Australia’s other coastlines offer equally exciting cruising options depending on your interests. Sydney Harbour boasts iconic sights, exceptional waterside dining and ample coves. Hermit Bay, the western shore of Shark Island and Athol Bay offer some of the best sunset views overlooking the Sydney skyline. Short coastal hops bring you to the Hawkesbury River, perfect for exploring by tender.

Alternatively, opt for a final frontier explorer adventure and cruise along the wild and awe-inspiring north-west coastline. The Kimberley is three times the size of England and punctuated by plunging gorges, swirling rivers, rainforested lagoons, and more than 2,500 uninhabited islands. There’s enough to keep you busy here for days, weeks or even months, and it’s a true nature lover’s paradise.

Unless you are an Australian or New Zealand citizen, all travellers to the country will need a Visa. The issuing of a Control Permit is required to cruise Australian waters.

Try the marron at Cape Lodge, paired with a glass of local chardonnay.

Best Local Dish : “When you see the sea, eat fish”. In the heart of the barrier reef on Lizard Island, heed this advice and dine at the exclusive Salt Water Restaurant. Enjoy local produce with incredible views of blazing sunsets.

Local Culture : Visit the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to see the world’s most concentrated area of significant Aboriginal Heritage sites, complete with a traditional lunch of emu and kangaroo! Sail to an exclusive anchorage within the park to swim, fish or hike to spectacular waterfalls.

Best Beach : Set in incredible lazuline waters and surrounded by coral reef, the powder-soft white sands of Whitehaven beach are hard to beat. Stretching over 7km, even in peak season you can still feel like you’ve found a private paradise.

Sailo recommends : The fireworks of Sydney are second to none. Venture Down Under in December to watch the harbour light up under a myriad of colours, from the comfort of your superyacht, for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve.

Sasha

Had a wonderful time on Queen's yacht - everything was exactly as discussed, I wanted to see the sunset and everything was arranged perfectly. The crew was also absolutely wonderful - they have attended to every need and request that I had and went above and beyond in many cases such as when they have prepared a fruit platter for me. I had complimentary drinks and snacks added to my trip as well which was an absolutely wonderful touch. Overall - I highly recommend booking this boat for an amazing experience! Will absolutely be back on this boat when I am back in Bali!

Snorkeling with Manta Rays in Bali. Starting price for the boat charter.

Amazing service from zero gravity diving team, Boker our pick up driver was absolutely amazing was on time and very punctual and our boat crew was amazing from our diving instructor to the captain everyone was very friendly and helpful will definitely booking again.

Sydney's fastest, coolest, beach-accessible Euro sports cruiser

He is very adjusting to the needs, very patient and will make your trip fun

Melissa

Private Yacht To Nusa Penida and Lembongan

We had a fabulous day on the water. The crew was fantastic and very accommodating. Queen responded quickly to my inquiry for booking and was helpful in building itinerary out to Penida Island, Lembongan and surrounding bays. Highly recommend. I am experienced cruising in blue ocean water, so if it’s your first time out, I’d recommend taking something since you may experience heavy chop (not a problem for me). Highly recommend

Great skipper, with a fab boat. Mark made our day extra special, showing us around the harbour sharing and his knowledge. We got some great photos thanks to him choosing the best spots! We felt like the boat was ours, would definitely recommend Mark, great day!

Mark was absolutely magnificent and helped a really special evening run perfectly. His boat was immaculate. The day wouldn’t have been as memorable without him. His communication before and during the boat trip was brilliant too, alongside his advice. Thanks for everything, Mark!

To rent a yacht in Australia promises a luxurious ocean adventure, during which you can sail along numerous beaches and destinations of this country. 

What is the price of a charter yacht in Australia?

Renting a yacht in Australia costs from $7080 per day in low season , while in high season it costs from $10,620 per day . Yachts are generally rented with a captain and the most luxurious vessels even come with a crew. It is important that you check the mandatory and included extras with the owner. 

Is yacht rental possible in Australia with or without a skipper?

It is possible to rent a yacht in Australia both with and without a skipper but you should check out the laws regarding whether or not you need a boat license .  In all Australian states except for the Northern Territory there are strict laws governing whether or not you need a license, depending mostly on the maximum speed of the boat.  If you have a license though, you should be able to find a bareboat yacht charter in Australia without trouble and this will allow you almost complete freedom to cruise the Australian shores and waterways as you please.  If you don’t have a license, it would probably be safer and easier to rent the boat with a skipper, allowing for a relaxing holiday where you don’t have to worry about sailing the boat.

Which are the most popular ports in Australia?

This could actually prove to be a difficult decision as we offer yacht rentals almost anywhere ! If you’re desperate to visit Sydney , you can either rent directly from there or choose from a few different nearby locations such as Cronulla . There are also plenty more yachts available to rent in New South Wales .

For those who wish to view the Great Barrier Reef up close on their own private yacht rental, there are a number of luxurious yacht rentals up for grabs in Queensland .  The Great Barrier reef is the perfect location for divers as it is home to a whole host of marine life including many species of sea snakes, sharks, whales and marine turtles, among others. Other popular boat yacht rental locations in this area include Abell Point Marina, Airlie Beach , Shute Harbour, and Long Island . 

For those wishing to cruise the Southern seas and maybe even visit Tasmania , an island state of Australia located about 240 km (150 miles) to the south of the mainland, Victoria is a good option. You can also rent from Loch Sport . 

If you want to explore the Indian Ocean and the West Coast , maybe yacht hire in Perth is the right option for you. 

Other Sailing Areas in Australia

Australia’s shimmering coastline is packed full of wonderful areas for sailing or mooring and exploring the mainland. Below is some information to help you pick the perfect place for your australian yacht charter. 

The Whitsundays

The Whitsundays is a classic holiday destination, popular with Australians and foreigners alike for many reasons, but one in particular. These islands are the perfect place to rent a yacht in Australia if you want to sail out to the Great Barrier Reef , a trip which takes between 70 and 90 minutes one way .  Whether you want a charter for just a couple of days or even an afternoon, this is the ultimate yacht rental location as booking times and dates are very flexible in this location. 

Moreton Bay

This beautiful bay is situated in Queensland , falling on the coast between Stradbroke Island, Moreton and mainland Australia . Being located near Brisbane , you have the option of flying to Brisbane and renting directly from there, or finding something a little closer if you prefer. This area is the ideal destination for both couples looking to get away and cruise the islands or for big families who want an action packed holiday, full of exciting and unique activities. The area is a fantastic place for divers, avid swimmers and sailors alike. 

Great Sandy Strait

Yet another option which is perfect for sailors looking to explore Australia’s waters is the Great Sandy Strait, found between Bundaberg and the Sunshine Coast . The transparent water is spectacular for a quick swim and the perfect place to rent a yacht in Australia. The rich variety of marine life here also adds to the once in a lifetime experience.  If you’re lucky, you can see dolphins, turtles, whales and dugongs! 

Port Jackson, Sydney

Keep it classic and combine your sailing holiday with a trip to the Opera House and many other top sights in Sydney . Port Jackson is lined by Sydney Harbour National Park but it is also within reach of other must-visit areas such as Bondi Beach . The stellar combo of wonderful weather and stunning scenery make for a fantastic stay on a yacht in Sydney.

What are the weather and sailing conditions like in Australia?

Australia has rather varied weather conditions depending on which part of the country you want to visit. From October to April , you can generally expect average temperatures of around 33°C/91°F . During the winter months (June-August) the weather is typically mild, with average daily July temperatures around 27°C/81°F (although they have been known to drop to 32°F/0°C in certain areas.. The average annual rainfall is 532 mm but sometimes no rain falls for months.  You should also beware of the cyclone season , which runs from November until April in Australia, even though cyclones rarely occur and never usually below 30°S.

When is the best time for yacht holidays in Australia?

This depends on what sort of holiday you want.  The high season for sailing in Australia runs from late November until March , even though this also overlaps with the Australian cyclone season , which runs from November until April .  Even though very few cyclones have actually occurred, you also have to remember that the Australian summer holidays occur during these months, leading to crowded beaches.  The crowds who flock to the seas to cool off can make sailing in the sea more tricky as although most beaches have designated areas for swimming and surfing, people have been known to ignore these guidelines.

If you want to avoid the crowds , maybe it would be a better idea to go during the Australian winter as even though the weather can be a little erratic, the temperatures are rarely extreme. During the winter months, you also have a better chance of finding good deals on boats.

How to get to Australia?

You can fly every day to the east-coast cities from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia .  It is even possible these days to get a direct flight from the UK , something which has only been made a possibility recently. Fares can vary greatly depending on the season, but the highest prices are usually the two weeks either side of Christmas. Fares are usually lower during the “shoulder” seasons, which run from late February to May and mid-August to November, and the best prices can be found during low season , June to mid-August . Due to the distance from the most popular departure points, flying on weekends does not tend to make a difference to the price. Of course, if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can take a ship trip from Asia , which may also give you a little time to explore another country on your way!
