Beautiful day spent on a sailing boat. Our instructor Steve was amazing. He explained to us with passion and patience how to sail and gave us so much extra information about the bay and historical details. Highly recommended tour.

Was an amazing experience! Our guide was friendly, knew the harbour, history and interesting points of interest. We felt safe, comfortable and exhilarated. Even though there was little breeze, our guide was able to give us enough of an experience to feel satisfied. Thank you Manly Sailing!

Beautiful morning arround the Bay. Despite the lack of wind, we were able to sail with some soft breeze and enjoyed with Fynn and Scott. Relaxed atmosphere, 100% recomended!

I sailed with Chris and Anne 5 years ago. I did a few of the courses, Introduction To Sailing, Competent Crew and a Spinnaker course. I also did a bunch of the Twilight races which I think are the best value and where you can practice the skills you've picked up. After the Twilights everyone goes back for dinner to the sailing club. There's a friendly atmosphere and a few drinks help keep the jokes coming as they run through the results from the race that night. Chris is funny and a decent bloke. Anne is lovely and keeps the place running if you ask me. I live locally and Anne was kind enough to introduce me to a skipper. I crewed for him for 3 or 4 years and then went off and bought my own boat. These days I potter around the harbour and bump in to Chris down the sailing club. He's gone out of his way all this time later to help me figure out the right boat to buy and understand solutions to the new problems you get when you buy a boat. There is no better way to get a unique view of Manly, Sydney and the harbour than to sail on it. It's an experience most people pass by but I can't recommend it enough. And Chris and Anne will help you do that and get the skills you need to sail properly if you're interested in doing that. Neil
