Miss Golightly Boat Hire Sydney — 40ft Sailing Catamaran for up to 20 Guests
Miss Golightly is a luxury 40-foot Fountaine Pajot Lipari sailing catamaran on Sydney Harbour for up to 20 guests, and she is the rare charter boat genuinely built for families. During her refit she was fitted with the highest standard of safety features, including lifelines designed to protect the youngest guests — so parents can actually relax. She came to Sydney from a life on the high seas and brought the kit with her: snorkelling gear, two stand-up paddle boards and a large lily pad, a swimming ladder, and a fresh-water outdoor shower with hot and cold water to wash the salt off afterwards. Her fully covered aft deck can be enclosed against the wind and combines with the indoor saloon — panoramic windows, dining table, comfortable lounge — into one connected space seating 16. Forward, the large sundeck and two pulpit seats at the bow are made for lying back in the sun. Every charter includes an experienced skipper and a host who looks after the day and the cleaning up, plus soft drinks, ice, glassware and one pick-up and drop-off wharf fee.
