Lunch beside the bushland
Settle into the view from the deck and let lunch take its time. Choose a yacht where everyone has a comfortable place to sit and enjoy being together.
Pittwater. Slow down here.
Bushland by the water, a cove for the afternoon and lunch at an easier pace. Spend a private day together, close to Sydney.
Find my charterBushland all the way to the water.
Green headlands and quiet bays give Pittwater a different feel from a day on Sydney Harbour.
Beside Sydney's Northern Beaches, Pittwater meets the bushland of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. From the yacht, the shoreline gives you plenty to look at and little reason to hurry.
Make a cove the centre of a day together, or ask about staying aboard for a few nights. Time beyond Pittwater into Broken Bay needs its own route and enough room in the plan.
Time to settle into Pittwater.
A day here can be as simple as a bay, a meal and the people you have brought.
An afternoon in a cove
Make room for time at anchor, a swim when conditions suit or a quiet hour on deck. The bushland shoreline is part of the pleasure of staying in one place.
Stay aboard a little longer
With suitable cabins, a short stay gives you evenings and mornings on the water as well. Keep the days local or discuss a wider route into Broken Bay.
A yacht for your Pittwater escape.
For a day, look at deck space, shade and dining. For nights aboard, explore the cabins and the places to share between them.
A few practical details.
Start with your people and dates. The finer details can take shape from there.
- Use a Pittwater meeting point
- Request Pittwater specifically. A Sydney Harbour pickup is a different starting point and may add cruising or relocation. Confirm the marina and boarding arrangements before arranging the group's road transfer.
- Let the crew look after the yacht
- This is private crewed charter planning, with the yacht operated by its skipper and crew. You can focus on your guests, meals and preferred pace while discussing the route with the people running the trip.
- Discuss any trip beyond Pittwater
- Broken Bay and a wider Hawkesbury route need enough time and a suitable yacht. Shore visits and moorings also have local conditions; choose the experience first and let the practical route follow.
Your time aboard
A day, a weekend or longer, with overnight accommodation and any wider Broken Bay route planned for the chosen yacht.
The whole charter cost
Compare a Pittwater quote for the hours or nights you want, including the actual departure. A Sydney Harbour event rate may not cover the same trip, and overnight accommodation changes the arrangement.
Understand charter costs- Time aboard
- Confirm the charter minimum, guest numbers and overnight use where requested. Day capacity and sleeping capacity are separate.
- Meals and crew
- Compare catering, drinks and service for a day, or provisioning and crew arrangements for the whole stay.
- Route and arrival
- Ask about fuel, any yacht relocation, berth or access charges, and transfers from Sydney or the Northern Beaches.

Find my charterBefore you go.
Is this a crewed or bareboat Pittwater charter?
Course & Cove plans private crewed charters. The skipper and crew operate the yacht, while you choose the kind of trip you want to discuss. This is a different arrangement from hiring a boat to operate yourself.
Can we sleep aboard a yacht in Pittwater?
Request an overnight charter with your dates and sleeping guest count. The yacht needs the right overnight capacity and cabins, as well as a workable route.
Can the route include Broken Bay or the Hawkesbury?
Those are places to discuss when planning a wider trip. The yacht, duration, conditions and access determine how far the route can extend. Keep enough time for enjoying the stops as well as travelling between them.
Is Pittwater the same as a Sydney Harbour charter?
No. Pittwater is a separate departure and cruising area north of the harbour. It may suit a quieter bushland setting, while Sydney Harbour may better fit a city gathering. Choose around the experience and where guests will meet.
