This experience is ideal for families, groups of friends, buck’s or hen’s party, corporate events, showing visitors the spectacular unspolit waterway of Pittwater, anniversaries, a romantic proposal or just a lovely day on the water and in the sun.

The yacht is well equipped, we brought our own dinner and grazing. We had a stunning sun set and I went for a swim in the late afternoon. Absolutely bliss, I would 1000% recommend this experience to disconnect and just be in the moment with your partner. We had a beautiful night sky full of stars and shooting stars. Brought some pillows and blankets from down below and relaxed under the stars while listening to music. The boat comes equipped with Bluetooth and speakers onboard so don’t bother bringing a portable speaker like we did.
It the morning we made breakfast rolls along with a fruit platter. we did some fishing but the fishes were asleep 🤣 we didn’t want to go home it was one of the most special and beautiful Anniversary celebrations we have had. Next time we want to add a skipper to our package to get some change of scenery.
Only thing I would recommend in the future the company looks at is their little row boats supplied in case you want to go ashore 🛶 something more sturdy would be great.
We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back soon 🙏🏻


Their understanding of the importance of the day and their care to make sure the day was perfect for us won’t be forgotten.
Down to the platter Lynda prepared, everything was perfect and we will certainly be back.
If you’re looking for an incredible day, do yourself a favour and give them a call.

The seafood platter was stunning and Michael was brilliant with our very energetic and curious boys!
Seeing seals near the lighthouse was a lovely surprise also!
Cannot recommend highly enough, as we drive away my wife commented how you couldn’t have a better person offering a service their theirs. Amazing.




Michael and team are really great, with a very warm welcome and all are extremely helpful. The yacht was clean and ideal and well equipped for an overnight stay. We took our own bubbly and drinks to celebrate my partner's birthday. Had a 90 minute sailing added on to the package which was well worth it - kind of a crash course in sailing and you get to take the wheel under the guidance of the skip, he was awesome and years and years of experience in the water with boats and Palm Beach. Yacht is equipped with fishing gear (if you’re into it) and snorkels etc. It’s very cosy, comfy as can be and we loved it.
We personally would have loved if the yacht was moored further from the beach as you can hear the merry people on the beach and traffic, given the cost for a night!! Apart from that no complaints, and we loved the experience and we certainly were blessed with plenty of sunshine and fair weather. Thank you Michael and time and I have no hesitations in recommending Taylor Made Escapes for a romantic or more adventurous getaway! We’ll certainly be back for another weekend! Thank you.

Very professional with easy instructions.
Pick up from Palm beach wharf.
Sailed for 2 hours then had a delicious seafood platter.
Very beautiful part of Sydney and you will have Pittwater to yourself if you book a week day!




10 out of 10, would recommend!!!
Michael was such an amazing guide. Made us feel so welcome. Provided a great seafood platter lunch and took us to such a great swimming spot, after a sail around.
Such a magical day. Just perfection.



Thanks guys! Definitely coming back.





Everything that we needed was in the yacht and we took our own food with us, so we did not need to leave at all. We enjoyed swimming and watching the beautiful sunset. There was a lightning show that evening and thankfully it was around us and not on top of us - truly spectacular! We even saw a turtle swimming past the next morning!
We would highly recommend this unique experience!



Honestly, I think it was a great deal for the price and experience. Michael was an excellent host/chaperone (who incidentally is from my hometown which was a pleasant surprise), and the yacht was gorgeous!
We'll definitely be back for the summer.
Highly recommend!

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique gift to give a loved one.






Michael was prompt, friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the sailing when he showed my husband the ropes.
Seeing dolphins was an absolute treat and Michael made certain we got enough of them by circling and patiently giving us ample time.
The vegetarian platter was beautiful and wholesome and ample.
The yacht was very pretty and has everything we needed.

We would definitely recommend Taylor Made Escapes for you boating adventure on Pitt Water and surrounds.
On the day of our booking the weather was pretty awful so owner Michael was on the phone multiple times, proactively watching the weather and ultimately changing our booking for the following day. The flexibility meant that we got out on the water on a beautiful sunny day.
From the communication to Michael’s patience and assistance helping me to board (I have mobility issues from an injury), Michael was a fantastic host and skipper. My partner was able to get hands on with steering and a bit of rope work.
We only had a couple of hours to enjoy the scenery of Pittwater while having a great chat with Michael along the way, but loved every minute of it and look forward to returning in the future for a longer experience.

Beds were cozy, kitchen setup is solid, sunset views are lovely. If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs because sleeping on the water can be a bit noisy, but I was surprised how relaxing it was to be rocked to sleep by the waves. Thank you for a beautiful and unique experience!
