Having previously done sailing lessons with Manly Sailing, I took the opportunity to charter their luxury Southwinds yacht for my 40th birthday already knowing I would be in wonderful hands! The crew were professional, organised, friendly, easy going, and went above and beyond to make sure my family and friends felt safe, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the day. I must give a special shout out to Hannah who took incredible care of us (I'm pretty sure my family have now adopted her), Finn who was at the helm, and Nicola who helped me plan the day and charter logistics from start to finish - I truly couldn't have done it without you! The boat itself was so beautiful, and it was a privilege to be able to explore its stunning heritage features both above and below. With a total of 20 guests and a 7hr charter, there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, relax and explore, and the day just flew by before rounding out with a magnificent Sydney sunset over the harbour. I was also appreciative of how flexible the charter itinerary was, from start/finish times, using my own caterers, and the activities and locations that were available to us throughout the day. Thank you, Manly Sailing for making my 40th birthday such a memorable occasion! I only wish I had more milestones imminent to take Southwinds out again! This would be an amazing experience for both private and corporate events, and I can only gather that the crew will be flat out with upcoming Xmas parties! I can't wait for all the photos to come through, but attached the best ones I had so far. Thanks again, and all the best for the rest of the year!
