A very relaxing afternoon...
A very relaxing afternoon catered to our time constraints due to ferry connections. We had a lovely time and the food was enjoyed by all.
Response from the operator: We are so pleased that you enjoyed your afternoon. We were happy that we were able to fit in with the ferry schedule to make it work for you.

A relaxing afternoon on the water.
A wonderful afternoon spent on the water. My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful platter of seafood, fruit and cheese whilst Michael toured is around the sights of Pittwater. His local knowledge and chatter made the afternoon interesting and informative. We'd definitely come back on another occasion, and I'll try not to drop a glass overboard next time ;)

fantastic, relaxing day out.
We had an incredible yacht experience on Pittwater with our skipper Michael. The booking process was easy and the communication leading up to the day was fantastic. The seafood platter was delicious, the swim in a beautiful secluded cove was refreshing and a perfect spot away from crowds, the whole trip was perfectly relaxed. Michael was friendly, informative, and an absolute top bloke who made the day even better. Highly recommend for a special day out on the water!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words, we're so pleased that you had fun!

Fabulous experience!
What a wonderful experience we had! From booking through to the day, great communication and very accomodating. Michael was a wonderful host and his wife Linda made us a sensational seafood platter. Would highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience and hope to welcome you back again soon.

Exceptional
This was by far the highlight of my trip in Australia. Despite it being a windy and cold day....it was still amazing. Beginning with the arrival of the captain himself quite literally on time with Everything ready! The view to get To the yacht was crazy. The yacht itself was another one. Mr Michael the captain himself was VERY nice, informative and very inviting. Despite it being a solo tour the money was completely worth it. Now I don't know which was better......the last spot we docked the yacht (beyond scenic, peaceful, no breeze,PERFECT place to do EVERYTHING) orrrr the seafood platter Mr Michael's wife made for me . The picture she sent me to see the platter before ordering did ABSOLUTELY NO justice. Theeee presentation almost took all of my phone's storage so I switched phones(thank God) the food ITSELF baring in mind I don't eat prawns was CRAZY. Every meat was FRESH . Thankfully she did too much so I took some home lol. I cant express my gratitude for them accommodating me and me only. I hope a 6 hour tour would be available next time I return to Australia. Thank you so much mr Michael and Mrs Lynda! 🇦🇺🫶🏾
Response from the operator: Dear Andy, Many thanks for your kind words, we are so pleased that you enjoyed everything. I didn't realise that you didn't eat prawns! I would have been happy to discuss an alternative option for you!! Looking forward to seeing you again for a 6 hour cruise:). Safe travels. Lynda and Michael

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 1/2 Hr Private Skippered Yacht Charter and Platter on Pittwater start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
