Morning Glory Chilled out Sail (3.5hrs)
Overview
Our morning trip departs Flaxmill Bay at 9:15am returning at 12:45pm.
FINAL CHECK IN TIME 9am
Sail around the beautiful coastline on our large sailing catamaran and visit local iconic locations, including the spectacular Cathedral Cove. Once we set anchor, either relax on the boat or have a swim or snorkel in the marine reserve with the amazing fish life (swim is optional).
The trip includes freshly brewed coffee, chilled orange juice and a baked snack.
Every trip is different. Help to sail or sit back on our comfy beanbags, soak up the scenery and relax. Our vessels have toilets and changing areas on board.
We only take small groups, accompanied by a skipper and a crew. Using wind power as opposed to engines and fuel allows us to take guests out with minimal impact on the environment.
