Details for Boxing Day 2022 coming soon.

The start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race on Boxing Day is an Aussie institution. While Melbourne swelters at the cricket, Sydney hits the Harbour with champagne, seafood and sailing thrills. The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is more than one of the world's greatest ocean races. It's a bucket-list must do for anyone in Sydney in Summer.

Nothing stops these world class sailors. Within a few weeks of opening, over 50 vessels had already registered for the 2021 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, including Overall Winner 2019 Inchi Ban. Our flagship Sydney 2000 will be back too with an amazing Boxing Day lunch cruise. Each elegantly appointed restaurant deck feature a different menu and bar package to suit you and your guests.
