The Fully licenced Spectator Ferry leaves Double Bay Wharf half an hour before race start – promising a front row seat, for all the action and spectacle of the world’s fastest racing skiffs . Enjoy Sydney Harbour’s most unique experience and marvel at the athleticism, speed and skill of the high performance skiffs and their crews . Let our onboard commentator entertain you with the rich history of the harbour and the 18Footers , learn how both have been so closely intertwined for nearly almost 130 years. Make time before and after boarding the Spectator Ferry to interact with some of the world’s best sailors rig the skiffs and be sure to join us in the bar afterwards to celebrate the winners .
