About Broken Bay Yacht Charter
Broken Bay Yacht Charter runs private, fully crewed sailing trips from Palm Beach at the northern tip of Sydney's Northern Beaches. The company works with two Seawind 1160 catamarans, Tabasco and Salsa, 38-foot boats built for ocean cruising that give a group plenty of room to spread out across the saloon, cockpit and trampolines. Each takes up to 28 guests, and for bigger celebrations both can be booked together for as many as 56. Guests meet the team at Palm Beach Wharf and are ferried out to the boat by tender. From there the captain shapes the route around the weather, the time available and what the group wants. Shorter outings usually stay within the calm bays of Pittwater, while the longer charters head across Broken Bay into Cowan Creek and up the Hawkesbury River, often motoring or sailing for a while before dropping anchor in a national park inlet for swimming and lunch. Tabasco also holds a licence to go offshore, which is used for small-group whale watching during the humpback migration. Charters are BYO for food and all drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage charged. Each catamaran has a galley, fridges, eskies with ice, plates, cutlery and cups, a Bluetooth speaker for your own playlist and floating platforms for time in the water. Catering can be organised ahead of the day, from grazing boards to a fuller meal. The operator takes hens and bucks groups, birthdays, family days, work functions and Christmas parties, and a dinghy can run guests ashore to beaches and walking tracks where conditions allow.

We booked Tashtego for a private charter and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Aside from being a beautiful boat, the crew were also very friendly- all going out of their way to make our charter a great experience…
