There's only one place to be in Sydney on Boxing Day and that's Sydney Harbour to see the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Bring your own picnic and get front row seats to all the action on our Boxing Day Cruise. See the fleet jostle for position in the lead up to the 1.00pm gun before following them out to 'the Heads'. Enjoy fantastic viewing from the spacious open outdoor deck and the all-weather interior with expansive viewing windows throughout.
