Sydney Harbour Cruises on Australia Day
The place to be on Australia Day is Sydney Harbour with
all the action.
Join us aboard our spectacular vessels and participate in the numerous
celebrations and festivities.
The day begins with the aptly named “ferrython” where the ferries that normally service the Sydney Harbour waterways are completely transformed into a spectacular show of colour and race for line honours. Once the ancient cannon on fort Dennison is fired these ferries jump to life with the entire spectator fleet following close behind. Following the course from in front of the Opera house and past Shark Island before turning back to the city our vessels follow every moment of the action.
With all the glory going to the skipper of the first ferry to cross the line under the Harbour bridge you will see every trick in the book. But this is just the start. Right after the conclusion of this spectacular event you can enjoy the Australia Day parade. At 2:00pm sit back and watch pilots from the RAAF perform precision flying above us, and still the day is not over.
Other events on this jam packed day include watching the Elite army regiment “red berets” parachute into circular quay, see Tall Ships dressed in their finest regalia race with almost half their crew members over 100 feet above the deck. Enjoy the Australia Day Regatta and help welcome some of the ocean racing yachts returning from Hobart.
Last but not least we have the spectacular fireworks display. This is something Sydney does better than anyone else, but nothing prepares you for the feeling of pride and mateship when you see such a spectacular display synchronised to the music of our national anthem.
