Discover Melbourne from a completely different perspective with an exclusive 3.5-hour private sailing experience on Port Phillip Bay, designed for a maximum of just 4 guests.

This is more than a sailing cruise — it is a fully hosted private experience, including hotel pickup, private transport, your own sailing catamaran, professional captain, personal guide and lunch served on board.

Private Hotel Pickup

Your experience begins at your Melbourne hotel, where we will collect you in a comfortable Lexus LX 570 and take you directly to the departure point in St Kilda.

There is no need to arrange transport, parking or directions — from the moment we meet you at your hotel, everything is taken care of.

Your Private Sailing Catamaran

From St Kilda, you will board our expedition-style sailing catamaran for a 3.5-hour private cruise across Port Phillip Bay.

The entire catamaran is reserved exclusively for your group of up to four guests, giving you plenty of space to relax, enjoy the scenery and experience sailing without the crowds of a larger commercial cruise.

Depending on the weather and sailing conditions, your captain will select the most enjoyable route for the day.

Your Captain

Your catamaran will be operated by a professional skipper who speaks English and Russian.

Throughout the cruise, the captain will take care of the sailing and safety of the vessel while giving guests the opportunity to experience life aboard a real sailing catamaran.

Guests who are interested in sailing can learn more about the boat, sails and navigation and, when conditions allow, experience being at the helm under the captain’s supervision.

Your Personal Guide

You will also be accompanied by a European guide who was born and raised in Harbin, China.

With a unique European and Chinese cultural background, your guide will help create a relaxed and personal atmosphere throughout the experience and will be there to assist guests during both the transfer and the cruise.

This makes the experience particularly welcoming for international visitors looking for something more personal than a standard sightseeing tour.

Lunch on Board

During the cruise, you will be invited to enjoy a relaxed lunch served on board the catamaran.

Our onboard menu includes traditional favourites such as pelmeni (Russian-style dumplings) and freshly prepared Russian blini (thin pancakes), offering guests a unique taste of Eastern European cuisine while sailing across Port Phillip Bay.

Lunch is accompanied by:

• tea and coffee
• soft drinks
• snacks
• fresh fruit

Enjoy your meal in a private and relaxed setting while taking in the beautiful views of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay.

A Truly Private Experience

With only your group on board, the experience can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace.

It is ideal for:

• couples and families
• international visitors to Melbourne
• birthdays and anniversaries
• special occasions
• small groups of friends
• guests looking for a unique VIP Melbourne experience
