The Ultimate Sydney Harbour Racing Experience – The 18 Footer Spectator Ferry!

The Royale is back.

We’ve brought back the crowd favourite — now under new ownership, alongside the Regal and Mandalay.

Jump on board for a 2.5-hour lap around the harbour, following the 18ft skiff racing up close — an experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Departing Double Bay Wharf at 2:15pm, we cruise with the fleet, soak up the views, and enjoy drinks and snacks from the on-board bar.

The 18 Footers spectator ferry is a Sydney tradition dating back to 1892 — a floating grandstand generations of locals have called their own.

It’s authentic, it’s local, and it’s been part of Sydney life for over a century. Hop on and spend your afternoon with front-row views of one of Sydney’s most historic traditions.
