Boxing Day Lunch Cruises on Sydney Harbour
In Sydney, the spirit and fun of Christmas linger on to get carried over to Boxing Day what with the heart-pumping Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the warmth of the festivities that hangs over from the previous day! Sydney Harbour is the centre of all excitement and the harbour lunch cruises are the best vantage points where one can make the most of the excitement of the race as well as the fun on the harbour with a fabulous lunch to indulge your appetite in later on!
Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, as the name suggests, starts in Sydney and finishes in Hobart, covering a distance of 630 nautical miles and is considered to be one of the most difficult yacht races of the world. Since the inaugural race in 1945, the race has grown over the decades, both in popularity and as a sport, to become one of the top three offshore yacht races of the world, attracting contestants from all over the globe.
With an entire population that is known for its vibrant lifestyle and vivacious attitude and its love for fun and celebrations, Sydney, on Boxing Day, has its air full of exhilaration over the event and a readiness to give in to the adrenaline-pumping, heart-racing, breath-stopping excitement of the day! On Boxing Day, Sydney wakes up with a new enthusiasm and buoyancy and makes it to the harbour in time to cheer the contestants as the race is flagged off.
There are cruises on Sydney Harbour that give you as close a view as possible of the beginning of the race – so close that you can almost breathe the excitement in the air and feel the thrill down your spine as the heat of the race is turned on and sense an elation that only participation in the race could otherwise bring about!
