Sailing Experience around Port Phillip Bay
Further Options
Description
Your experience begins at the meeting point at Boatman's Landing at Waterfront City in Melbourne's Dockland area. You will be met by your skipper and crew for the day and escorted to the yacht, Veeword.
Once on board you will receive a safety briefing and be shown round the yacht. The deck hand will cast off and you will begin the 45 minute trip down the Yarra River to the Port Philip Bay. During this stage you will be given the opportunity to steer the boat and the Skipper will point out the places of interest along the river and answer your sailing related questions.
Once at the Bay the crew will raise the sails and switch off the engine. At this point you will have your first taste of real sailing, the silence, the gentle glide of the yacht through the water and of course the view of Melbourne from the water. You will get a chance to take the helm and to assist with the sail changes that are required. Alternatively you can just relax and enjoy the experience whilst taking in the views and the fresh sea air.
We will sail for approximately 90 minutes (60 minutes on evening trips) before returning to the Yarra River for the return trip.
As the yacht makes it way back to Docklands there will be plenty time for taking photographs sitting on the bow of the yacht with a loved one while the crew serves you with a glass of bubbly or soft drink as you prefer.
The yacht is a new luxuary 40ft Elan with 2 toiliets and fully equipped salon, flat screen TV and CD facilities. So come and tast the life style and join us for a sail onthe bay.
There is no fishing onboard.
