The best view of Hobart is from the water, and the best seat on the water is the deck of a 62 foot ocean racer. This three hour sailing cruise takes you out on the Derwent with kunanyi/Mt Wellington rising behind the city, on a fast, comfortable yacht built for the open sea. Choose a morning or afternoon sail. Depending on the wind, the skipper can take you right out towards the gateway to the Southern Ocean, following the course of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and crossing its famous finish line on the way back in. Get as involved as you like. Take the helm, grind a winch or sit back and soak it all in, whether you are an old salt or have never set foot on a yacht. Tasmanian refreshments are served on board with tea, coffee, water and soft drinks, and a cash bar offers Tasmanian wine and beer at regular bar prices. Want a whole day out on the water? The full day yacht charter on the Derwent and Storm Bay takes the same yacht further afield. Explore the cruise, then check availability.
