New years eve

Experience one of the most famous NYE firework displays in the world while sailing along the iconic Sydney Harbour.  When the sun sets on the final day in December, Sydney Harbour comes alive with lights, music and laughter as the celebrations transform the city into one of the world’s most famous party zones.

Australia is famous all around the world for its beautiful coastlines, rich marine life and soft white sand. Thousands of locals and tourists enjoy these natural gems every day, whether they’re swimming, surfing, fishing, sailing or jet-skiing. Unfortunately, staying safe in and on the water is not always easy or taken seriously, and over the last couple of years there has been a concerning increase in boating-related drownings.

With Christmas fast approaching and 2015 coming to an end it is getting more and more important to make plans. And as someone who lives in the moment it pains me to remind you to make plans for new years eve when we are still in October, but when you live in Sydney it's kind of important to plan as far ahead as possible.
