WHY SORRENTO?
Sailing cruises have been a big thing in Sydney, Brisbane , Perth and other cities for generations. Now with Docklands and the new safe harbours around the Bay, Port Phillip is emerging as a great place for cruising, and as the Financial Review said on its front page recently, 'Sailing is the New Golf'. Baysail Cruises are available year round from Sorrento. They are not weather dependant except in rare circumstances.

Port Phillip is quite different from Sydney Harbour and the Swan River however, as it is 40 miles north to south and 50 miles east to west. This means the sea can build up uncomfortably and traversing the Bay is not a good idea in some conditions.

The best option is to cruise out of Sorrento, where there is more to see and the seas are flat, being protected from south, east and west by the Nepean Peninsula and from the north by the extensive sandbars. If your program requires transportation from one end of the Bay to the other, or anywhere in-between, we can arrange limousines, buses, seaplanes or helicopters.

Not to mention the bay and ocean beaches, 170 vineyards, 50 cellar doors,
red hill countryside and great restaurants
