For the memory of a lifetime, book on one of our yacht charters to Port Davey on Tasmania’s rugged west coast. Port Davey is a Marine Reserve and part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and the South West National Park.

They are usually seven-day/six-night trips, but like all our journeys, they can be customised to suit your requirements. We stop over in Recherche Bay for the first night then make our way around the Southern tip of Tasmania, sailing past the Maatsuyker Island group to the vast pristine waterways of Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour.

It is impossible to describe just how unique and exciting this vast and spectacular wilderness destination is. Bushwalking in the World Heritage National Park, isolated surf breaks, endless sheltered bays and inlets to explore by kayak and a coastline as awe-inspiring as any you can imagine; the Port Davey region abounds with seafood for divers and fishermen.

We do these trips as private charters for up to 6 people. Our professional crew includes skipper, cook and onshore guide.

Because these cruises are private charters we can customise them to suit your needs. We can take up to eight passengers. Sailing on the beautiful expansive Hobart harbour at twilight is an experience not to be missed. Views of the sparkling city with its rolling hills and magnificent mountain backdrop are breathtaking in the twilight. We will anchor in a sheltered bay where you will be served a wonderful meal of the best Tasmanian food accompanied by our famous wines and beer, or whatever takes your fancy.

The evening typically runs like this:
You will be greeted onboard with a glass of sparkling Tasmanian wine or beer along with freshly shucked Tasmanian oysters or canapès before sailing off to explore the beautiful sites of the harbour and making our way to our anchorage. We will nestle into one of the many sheltered bays on the harbour and serve up a meal from our galley. Only the best local produce will be used and accompanied by our great Tasmanian wines and beer, or your choice of drink. The meal can either be served below deck in our large saloon or under shelter on our cockpit table – your choice.
