Set Sail on Sydney Harbour | 28ft SuperSonic MKII Sailboat
If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to experience Sydney Harbour, look no further than Jeremy and his sailing yacht, Lollibee. My family and I recently made the trip all the way from San Diego, and sailing with Jeremy was, without question, the highlight of our visit. From the moment we stepped aboard, Jeremy welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, instantly putting us at ease. His deep knowledge of the harbor and its history made the journey not only scenic but also wonderfully informative. Whether we were gliding past the iconic Sydney Opera House or pausing to take in the majesty of the Harbour Bridge, Jeremy made sure we had the best vantage points and plenty of time to soak in the views. What sets Jeremy apart is his passion for sailing and his dedication to creating a personalized experience. He made every effort to accommodate our family, ensuring we were comfortable and engaged throughout the trip. He even let our kids try their hand at steering the yacht, making them feel like seasoned sailors. The Lollibee itself is a gem—beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfectly suited for a relaxing day on the water. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or stepping aboard a yacht for the first time, Jeremy makes the experience feel effortless and magical. If you’re visiting Sydney and want a unique way to see this spectacular harbor, don’t miss the chance to sail with Jeremy on the Lollibee. It’s an experience my family and I will treasure forever. Thank you, Jeremy, for making our trip truly special!
