Spending a Perfect Long Weekend In Pittwater
SYDNEY - PITTWATTER
The northern beaches of Sydney offer the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The region promises an idyllic location for a staycation that should be taken full advantage of when the occasion arises. With pristine waters, charming waterfront restaurants, and ample space along the coast of Pittwater to explore in privacy, the region is wholeheartedly infused with the essence of coastal bliss.
Day 1: SYDNEY HARBOUR
Boarding your yacht from one of the many wharves in Sydney Harbour, a long weekend full of relaxation will begin as you make the journey up to the picturesque Pittwater region. The cruise is about 2 hours on average. If you prefer not to cruise by vessel, we can offer you an executive transfer by car where you can meet the vessel on arrival. Your captain will anchor you off Hallets beach situated in Cowan Creek, a fantastic spot for water sports and beach BBQ lunch. As the sun goes down, take advantage of a balmy clear evening to enjoy a seafood dinner prepared by your onboard chefs, and a night-cap onboard the deck of your yacht.
Day 2: HAWKSBURY RIVER
Your crew will serve you a leisurely breakfast onboard before your yacht will haul anchor and head up the Hawkesbury River to Bar Point home of the "Parramatta" - a World War 1 destroyer. This is a fascinating area for swimming and snorkeling to explore this historical deck. Fishing, bush walking, swimming & crabbing are just some of the activities that can be enjoyed for the day. After lunch onboard your yacht, your captain will head back down river to anchor at the "tanks" at Wobby beach. This is the perfect area to begin a bush walk up to the fresh water cascades in the Brisbane Water national park. This is the site of the first official act of piracy in Australia in 1796, and provides fantastic views. After working up an appetite, your chefs will prepare a gourmet Italian dinner and you can relax with some wine after a beautiful day in the sun.
Day 3: COTTAGE POINT
After a leisurely morning drinking coffee and enjoy a pastry breakfast, begin the day with a bushwalk through the scenic Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, exploring its lush trails and observing native wildlife. Your captain will then cruise to Cottage Point Inn in the afternoon, where you'll indulge in a memorable degustation dinner overlooking the serene waters of Cowan Creek.
Day 4: SNAPPERMANS BEACH
After a late dinner the evening prior, today will begin with a leisurely morning onboard, enjoying breakfast while admiring the tranquil surroundings. Your captain set sail for Snappermans Beach, a lovely area to enjoy the kayaks or stretch your legs with a walk on the beach. If you're feeling energetic, the Barrenjoey Lighthouse Walk provides an exceptional view of the region - it is not one to be missed. Your yacht will then cruise to the Newport marina, so you and your guests enjoy a meal at the famous Bert's Bar and Brasserie, savoring fresh seafood while taking in panoramic views of Pittwater. After dinner, take a final cruise around Pittwater. Full of delicious food and wine, your captain will end your vacation by taking you back to the marina in the evening, where you'll disembark and bid farewell to your yacht and crew. If time permits, explore Avalon Beach or relax at a waterfront cafe before concluding your Easter Long weekend adventure.
