WHERE DO WE GO, WHAT DO WE BRING?
Once you have made a booking online you will automatically receive an email confirming your booking that includes all of the logistics required for the sail you have booked.
DO WE NEED SAILING EXPERIENCE?
Certainly not, in fact more than half our guests to date have never stepped foot on a sailing boat before. Our professional crew do everything and will make sure you feel comfortable and aware of what is going on.
WHAT IS IT LIKE DURING COLDER MONTHS?
Cooler months actually present gentler sailing conditions and in our opinion beautiful times on the water. Sure you may have to rug up a little and given Brindabella’s scale and configuration you wont get wet on deck and can easily escape into the warm environment of the saloon for a while if you like.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?
Our minimum age is generally 10 years old for ticketed events, private charter by negotiation. There is no upper age limit rather a record which currently stands at 96 years. Children (under 18) are half price on selected ticketed events.
WHAT DO YOU GET ON THE HALF DAY ADVENTURE THAT YOU DON’T ON THE 3 HOUR SAIL?
The extra time on the water gives us an opportunity to serve a broader menu of food as well as a better opportunity to fly one of our spinnakers. Whilst we cannot guarantee we fly the spinnaker we always endeavour to do so.
IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO CREW ON BRINDABELLA?
We have a large cohort of very experienced crew that have trained extensively with us. Changes to AMSA will soon require all crew to also be ticketed through an RTO. At this stage we are not looking for anymore crew, but follow us on our socials for future call outs.
I HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
No problem at all, let us know in the dietary section of your booking or email us after you have booked. We can cater to any requirements here.
IS THE WEATHER OFTEN TOO POOR TO SAIL?
Brindabella only had to cancel one event last season due to weather. She can operate in a very wide range of wind conditions due to her extensive sail inventory. We can also utilise the Port River for a very exciting sailing experience. Rain is not really an issue either, whilst it is hard to avoid rain at a stationary venue we can see it coming for miles and navigate around showers.
I HAVE SOME MOBILITY ISSUES, IS THIS A PROBLEM?
Not at all, simply let us know so we can work with you to make your day enjoyable. There is a need to move across the boat at times such as through a tack however we have some positions on board where this movement is minimal and can be assisted. If you have a disability and are unsure if we can accommodate your needs please contact us for a confidential chat. If you want to sail on board Brindabella we will do everything to work out a way.
WHERE DO WE SAIL?
Our ticketed events will sail into the gulf and take advantage of the wind direction to give guests the best possible sailing experience for the allocated time frame.
CAN I LEARN TO SAIL AND HELP OUT?
You will effectively be human ballast whilst onboard. Moving across deck during manoeuvres. Our professionally trained crew will explain to you the basic physics of sailing and explain how our onboard sailing systems work. Whilst we cannot allow guests to manage lines due to the extraordinary forces at play you can certainly have a supervised feel of the helm .
Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.
If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.

3 months agoBrindabella, an 80-foot maxi yacht renowned for its second-place finish in the Sydney to Hobart race, is both spectacular and exceptionally comfortable. The day was stunningly beautiful, marked by impeccable organisation and exceptional catering that offered a remarkable gastronomic experience. My wife, a vegetarian, was so impressed with the food that she suggested Bridgette, one of our hosts, should consider opening a restaurant. I mentioned to Johnny, another host, that the experience was already five-star and playfully remarked that beanbags on the deck would make it six-star. Remarkably, beanbags appeared shortly after, adding a perfect touch. The tour was sensational and entirely flawless.

2 months agoWe had the best time celebrating my husband’s 56th birthday with our family. We had perfect sailing conditions. The crew were lovely and friendly. They even provided us with our keto options on our grazing board. The oysters natural and Thai style were amazing and we loved the addition of the crayfish. A really memorable experience on board a stunning yacht whose history includes a Sydney to Hobart win in 1997.

7 months agoWe had a fantastic experience aboard the Brindabella! Welcoming and friendly hosts and crew made sure we had an amazing and unique adventure. Unfortunately not quite enough wind to pick up much speed, but still perfect and an experience we wont forget. Highly recommend and we'll be back!
