NSW Superyacht Guide

With more than 2,000 kilometres of majestic coastline, New South Wales is home to an abundance of exciting and diverse experiences, both on water and land. From glittering Sydney Harbour to the lush North Coast and pristine South Coast, NSW welcomes superyachts of many sizes in its premium marinas. Step off the boat to golden beaches, meet the native wildlife, try some of the world’s best wines and ocean-fresh seafood, and discover thrilling adventures and inspiring Aboriginal culture.

There are 19 superyacht-capable marinas in New South Wales, including 11 outside of the Sydney and Pittwater region. The recently produced NSW Superyacht Guide provides Captains with all the information on superyacht and tender access points on the coast, as we encourage superyachts to further explore the many hidden gems on the North and South coastlines.
