Weathersfield

Weathersfield welcomes up to 30 guests onto her spacious teak deck, a 60-foot classic ketch handcrafted from New Zealand kauri timber that glides smoothly around Sydney Harbour. The aft canopy provides shade for relaxed lounging, while the onboard BBQ lets groups grill fresh catches or snacks right there. Below deck, the mahogany saloon seats eight for cozy dinners, and three cabins with en-suites offer private spots for overnight stays or quick freshens.

Bluetooth speakers connect easily to phones, filling the boat with music from deck to cabin for any mood. Big eskies keep drinks cold all day, and the swim platform makes harbour dips simple and fun. Her timeless design traces back to the 1890s style, blending old-world charm with steady sailing past the Opera House and bridge.

Professional crew handles navigation to quiet coves, leaving hirers free to soak in views or host events. Pair Weathersfield with options from our Sydney Harbour cruises for trips that suit families, parties, or corporate outings. Life jackets, toilets, showers, and utensils come standard for worry-free adventures.
