Kayak Hire

Had a great time kayaking around Manly. Being able to access and relax at Store Beach was an absolute highlight.

My family and I recently went on a 90 minute guided kayaking tour with Jackson. We all had the most wonderful experience. Jackson ensured that the tour was fun, educational and personable. We would highly recommend this amazing experience and can’t thank Jackson enough for his skills and expertise.

Amazing experience sailing on the beautiful ketch Southwinds. Our skipper Finn and the wonderful Nicki made it a great learning experience as well as fun. And the effort they went to, to make the trip happen before even got there was most appreciated. I’m keen for more sailing…

We had an amazing time sailing in Sydney Harbour today! Even though it got quite windy, our instructor, Leuan went above and beyond to make the whole experience fun and relaxing. Leuan was very knowledgeable and great at teaching us the basics of sailing, as well as the structure of sailing in Sydney Harbour, including races, buoys, and handicaps. He also let us be as involve as we wanted. It is a great experience that highly recommend!

Thank you to Hannah for a great try sailing yesterday morning. Hannah was friendly and chatty, recognised the level of experience of everyone on the boat and offered the right level of helpful instruction and direction given when needed. Hannah made the session fee relaxed and enjoyable and we all had a great time.

Our sailing coach, Jason, teaches with great patience and encouragement, and I’m delighted with my first sailing experience in Sydney.

Participated in the two-day Start Crewing course this weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our instructor Lucas is very experienced, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic (and patient!) teacher - felt like I really got to grips with the skills even on a more windy day to learn to sail. A highly personalised experience in the gorgeous setting of Manly and Sydney Harbour.

Done a 2.5hours kayaking. It was a great experience and beautiful beach. Jackson is our guide, he is professional and responsible man. Recommended. 👍

Having previously done sailing lessons with Manly Sailing, I took the opportunity to charter their luxury Southwinds yacht for my 40th birthday already knowing I would be in wonderful hands! The crew were professional, organised, friendly, easy going, and went above and beyond to make sure my family and friends felt safe, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the day. I must give a special shout out to Hannah who took incredible care of us (I'm pretty sure my family have now adopted her), Finn who was at the helm, and Nicola who helped me plan the day and charter logistics from start to finish - I truly couldn't have done it without you! The boat itself was so beautiful, and it was a privilege to be able to explore its stunning heritage features both above and below. With a total of 20 guests and a 7hr charter, there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, relax and explore, and the day just flew by before rounding out with a magnificent Sydney sunset over the harbour. I was also appreciative of how flexible the charter itinerary was, from start/finish times, using my own caterers, and the activities and locations that were available to us throughout the day. Thank you, Manly Sailing for making my 40th birthday such a memorable occasion! I only wish I had more milestones imminent to take Southwinds out again! This would be an amazing experience for both private and corporate events, and I can only gather that the crew will be flat out with upcoming Xmas parties! I can't wait for all the photos to come through, but attached the best ones I had so far. Thanks again, and all the best for the rest of the year!

We had a great time kayaking!!! Will was a great guide! We also brought our own goggles and snorkel to the beach (recommend if you’re in to that) and saw some local fish. Will shared local history and it was super interesting! Please check this out it’s a great way to see parts of Manly you don’t normally get to see!

I had such a fun time on the kayak tour! Every beach had its own little story, which made the whole trip feel really special, and the kayaking itself was just pure joy. Honestly, it was one of the highlights of my trip — I’d totally do it again! 한국분들 어서 모여라! 🙂

Such a great experience kayaking from Manly to Quarantine beach. Our guide Izzy was lovely and chatty, and kept the whole thing very relaxed. I booked the 1.5 hour tour and as I was in a single kayak, trying to keep up with the doubles, I think this was long enough for me! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience though and it was great to see the views of the coast and the boats from the sea. The rest on Quarantine beach where you could grab a drink at the cafe was a nice touch and there was just enough time for a quick dip in the sea. Would definitely recommend!

Our group or 9 went on the kayak tour recently and we loved it! We went on the 3.5 hour tour of the harbour with stops at 3 different beaches. Lewis, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helped create an awesome experience for us. He had answers to all our questions and shared many interesting facts with us. He made our tour way better and made sure all of us had an awesome time! The beaches were awesome and it was fun to go to more exclusive areas in the harbour. Make sure to wear sunscreen!!
