SUPERYACHT

Foreword

Welcome to the special Australian edition of the Superyacht Services Guide.

A remark we often hear once someone visits our waters is “Australia has it all”: pristine cruising grounds, outstanding marinas, refit and maintenance facilities, skilled tradesmen and one of the oldest living indigenous cultures in the world.

Yes, we have it all and we need to make sure everyone knows about it.

This special edition of the Superyacht Services Guide will certainly assist in getting the message out and importantly the following recommendations are based on vessel experience.

The Australian superyacht industry has a strong reputation for delivering to client’s expectations and in fact often over delivering. We have leading refit specialists, world class agents and charter brokers, impressive project managers, interior designers, wine and food that can meet the highest expectations and a supply chain to service your every need.

Most would agree it is no exaggeration when we say “We have it all”.

We are currently working closely with the Australian government to reduce red tape and open Australia up making it easy to charter - we work closely with Tourism Australia to provide accurate and up to date information about our iconic destination, and we are ensuring greater access to our Great Barrier Reef, making sure Australia and the rest of the South Pacific becomes your Paradise.

For those of you wanting to know more, wanting to develop relationships and alliances with Australian businesses, please visit our website at www.superyacht-australia.com.au You will read throughout the directory about the capability of our Australian industry.

Introduction To all Yacht Captains and Crew... an introduction to our Guides

A

We often ask fellow Captains & crew to find out who they used... who they recommend?

We might ask around other yachts in the marina / anchorage for their insight as to who to use for which service... ‘did they actually do what they said they would?’ There are plenty of online forums also…

ll of us will remember our early days at sea... discovering new places... heading out on that first ocean passage as a Captain - with full responsibility for the vessel, her systems and her crew. Before we make ‘landfall’ in any new port, one would always have the same two things to consider... a job list and a time schedule. The development of the internet and ‘google searches’ means there is a plethora of online services available, we are often inundated for choice! Yet who is reputable and good – who offers the better service – who do we TRUST?

Photo courtesy of Onne van der Wal

As time evolves our own database of reliable service contacts increases, that we have built up over the years in different ports visited worldwide. For each good contact we’ve kept, we’ve probably thrown out two or three other ‘contenders’ in the same business... making the ones we do keep extremely useful personal service contacts that we know we can count on!

6

SERVICES

These quality contacts then represent part of our ability to perform our own professional role on a yacht. We all know where the ‘buck stops’ as Captain on a charter or owner’s cruise, when the outboard motor on the tender fails... when the generator goes down... or when the guest’s specially requested provisions don’t arrive in time for the start of the cruise.

Recommended Services….

As a ‘Captain’s Recommended Service’ they receive a free basic listing in the printed Guide and online and are offered the opportunity to advertise and promote their service further. It is important to understand the concept behind the advertising; for without it, there simply would be no book! As this is a relatively small specialist niche market, book sales alone could never support the cost of researching and publishing such a Guide. The advertising itself however, is ONLY made available to services recommended to us.

This need for a ‘database’ of reliable service contacts is something that stays with us throughout our career afloat. As boats / owners change, there are ‘pastures new’ for all of us regardless of our depth of experience... new destinations... new cruising grounds... and new ports... each bringing their own new challenge.

This book is simply ‘your inside Guide’... updated annually to ensure we keep up to date.

Over the past 17 years our regional Guides and comprehensive online database have really proved themselves as incredibly useful points of reference. Our Guides are most often found on the Bridge or chart table, or in the crew mess, full of ‘stickies’ marking certain pages and services!

The very ‘raison d’être’ for the Superyacht Services Guides ... was to collate an ‘Inside Guide’ of Captain’s own ‘recommended services’, for each Captain and Senior Crew to be able to access, in order to share the benefits of each other’s collective experience.

Our website, www.superyachtservices.com lists over 10,000 Captains Recommended Services worldwide and is a unique database for crew to search for services or peruse a region/country... seeing what services are available in each destination.

Every year, we interview and receive services feedback (usually good, though negative on occasions also!) and recommendations from Captains and senior crew throughout the year.

These comments really do get listened to and ‘actioned’ accordingly by us... for in just the same way that we have followed up / researched all your new recommendations from 2018, we have also dropped services from last year, after receiving consistently poor feedback for them.

About Australia AUSTRALIA

WEATHER

Australia, being part of the Commonwealth, is a sovereign country, with Queen Elizabeth II being monarch and comprises of the Australian Continent, the Island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. Australia is the largest country in Oceania with a population of 25 million, largely concentrated on the Eastern Seaboard. Sydney is the largest city, the Capital Canberra is land locked.

Since Australia is in The Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are reverse to Europe and The America’s. December to February is summer; March to May is autumn; June to August is winter; and September to November is spring.

Cairns, Northern Queensland has a tropical climate with two seasons- hot and humid summers and dry mild winters. The main rainfall starts to build with humidity in December and is typically heaviest between January and March. Tropical cyclones can form between November to May. Average temperatures are 23-31°C/73°F-88°F in December/January and 18 °C/64°F in midwinter (July/August)

While the indigenous peoples of Australia have been inhabiting the continent for at least 65,000 years, remaining an integral part of the culture, the first to “discover” Australia was the Dutchman, Able Tasman, in the 17th century. In 1770 the British claimed the Eastern half as “territory” and started settling their penal colonies. Over time, various territories were claimed and this led to the development of the Commonwealth of Australia, representing 10 territories and 6 states, which is today operated under a liberal democratic system.

Brisbane and The Gold Coast have a subtropical climate. 30°C/86°F are the average summer temperatures (December /January), although it can get up to the 40-degree zone.

Summer can also get humid bringing big thunderstorms. Winter is generally mild, averaging 17°C/63°F. In winter the Southerly winds can whip through bringing a distinct “chill” to the air.

Famed for the outdoor lifestyle and diverse cultures, amazing wildlife and unlimited choice of activities, Australia certainly has it all and will not fail to capture the soul of the most discerning of travellers.

Sydney and area have a temperate climate, with summers (over Christmas) reaching an average maximum of 26°C/79°F and winters (June to August) are averaging around 16°C/61°F. The highest rainfall is generally over March and June.

Hobart, Tasmania offer 4 distinct seasons.

Described as “a mild maritime climate” the warmest months are December to March, averaging around 21°C/70°F. Incidentally, Hobart is Australia’s second driest Capital.

During winter Tasmania can really feel those Arctic winds.

Melbourne, Victoria is famous for being able to have “four seasons in one day”, maybe due to the inland mix of hot arid areas and alpine snowfields. However, the climate is generally temperate with warm to hot summers averaging 25°C/77°F and cool winters averaging 14°C/57°F.

www.spiritluxurycharters.com.au

Perth, Western Australia has on average, more annual sunny days than any other Australian Capital City. February is generally hottest averaging 31°C/88°F with famous sea breeze, “The Dr” bringing relief. Winters average 1821°C/64-70°F and can get quite cool and wet.

The classic guide to the east coast of Australia (Queensland) and the Great Barrier Reef. Over 300 approach profiles, plus 150 more photos and nearly 200 sketch charts. Navigation directions, weather, radio, protocol and officialdom, tides, services etc. all covered.

When Is Cyclone Season?

Cyclone season within the tropic region of Australia typically ranges from November 1st to April 30th. With an average of 10 cyclones per year developing amongst areas such as Exmouth and Broome in the west, and far north Queensland in the east. Though cyclones may be commonplace in tropical regions of Australia, when compared to America the rate is drastically lower.

Alongside this, the fact that very few make it to the shoreline or make landfall also puts things into perspective. (source: www.tripsavvy.com).

America’s Cup 2021 Auckland, New Zealand 6 – 21 March 2021 With the 36th America’s Cup Match, the biggest sailing event in 2021, getting closer, more details are emerging and the sailing community can be assured of an exciting and diverse calendar for the year.

Superyachts will be joining in the celebrations as well, with a Superyacht Regatta locked in for the 25th – 27th February that the RNZYS is organizing in Auckland, likely be the biggest that has ever been seen on New Zealand waters.

The America’s Cup Match will see its opening weekend in Auckland on March 6th and 7th 2021 where the Defender Emirates Team New Zealand will race the winner of the PRADA Cup Challenger Selection Series, which will be raced in January /February 2021.

In addition, from the 1st to 6th of March Auckland will host the J Class Yacht fleet, which would have been already warming up 15-18th February in the Nz Millennium Cup Superyacht Regatta, Bay of Islands. The J Class – The yachts that made history in the America’s Cup – are a spectacular sight to behold.

Throughout its 167-year history, the oldest trophy in international sport has evolved to include a Challenger selection series, to determine which foreign yacht club will take on the Defender of the America's Cup.

It is always a big deal in any America’s Cup cycle when the first tranche of AC Class yachts are revealed. Fans and teams alike pore over every photograph and video they can get their hands on to analyse what each of the teams’ design departments have come up with. Even more exciting and challenging is the fact that designing and building a foiling monohull of this AC75 size has never been done before. It is an utterly new concept – and that means the designers are out on their own, breaking new ground with precious little, if any, relevant data available to refer back to. All of this will contribute to one of the most exciting AC’s races in history!

The results of the America's Cup World Series will seed the teams for the Prada Cup round robin.

These Challenger races will take place in JanuaryFebruary 2021 in Auckland and the winning team will raise the stunning, handcrafted silver Prada Cup after which it will be the challenger in the AC36!

But that’s not all.

2021 marks the 150-year anniversary of Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron - represented by Emirates Team New Zealand - and the Club is organizing a plethora of events happening in conjunction with the America's Cup itself.

Kicking the celebrations off will be a race to Kawau Island on New Year’s Eve 2020 followed by the Kawau New Year’s Day Regatta and the Kawau to Great Barrier Cruise from the 3rd – 6th of January 2021.

On the 1st of February an offshore race from Sydney to Auckland will be held in collaboration with the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club.

Superyacht Australia Voyager Award Winning Itineraries

In 2018, Superyacht Australia launched the Voyager Award to celebrate engaging and unique superyacht itineraries around Australia.

MY Silentworld was the inaugural 2018 Winner for a modern-day exploration and bounty hunt.

In 2019, Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard (GCCM) became the naming sponsor of this award, which was bestowed on MY Spirit for a diving, snorkelling and fishing charter around the Ribbon Reefs and Lizard Island.

Here is an overview of these two dynamic yachts and their very different but equally award-winning yachting experiences in Australia.

Day 2: Kenn Reef

ITINERARY 1

Travelling through the night we encountered no other vessels and were slowed a little with a 1 knot current setting to the South yet we still approached the Kenn Reef atoll in the morning as the sun was rising. We anchored close to Observation Cay in 15 meters of water.

M/Y Silentworld: Winner 2018 Superyacht Australia Voyager Award Date: January 2017 10 days 560 nautical miles

On this particular expedition, the Silentworld Foundation created the experience in conjunction with the Australian Maritime Museum. The expedition took the expedition party to Cato Reef and Kenn Reef, where there has been a number of wrecks recorded from various, previous expeditions by other groups.

We setup for the day and went in search of reminders of past explorers and seafarers. The purpose-built tender was rigged for magnetometer runs and the shore party set to take metal detectors ashore on observation Cay. The cay is the location where there were reports of the Bona Vista crew being hold up after coming undone on the reef. This is the initial phase of the expedition to make a quick survey of the area before laying plans in the afternoon for the remainder of the expedition.

Day 1: Bundaberg to Kenn Reef

Day 3: Kenn Reef

We departed Bundaberg in the early hours with last lines at 03:00 am. The weather conditions were 15 – 20 knots and a 2 meter swell. The swell was not a cause for concern and we passed the continental shelf at about 09:00 and watched the depth fall away on the sounder. We had a few miles ahead with an estimated time of arrival at Kenn Reef of 08:00 on Wednesday morning.

With the sun rises a new day, with calm seas and a gentle breeze from the North making great conditions for history hunting. There were some significant hits with the magnetometer in the morning in areas not previously associated with wreck sites. With that the team returned for lunch and to reassess the strategy for the afternoon. The teams split into two and the first group went to scour the reef edge with the metal detectors. The second group dove on the site with the magnetometer hits from the morning.

Day 4: Kenn Reef

Day 6: Kenn Reef

We waited for a localised storm to pass before heading out with the first research team and the magnetometer. The tender ventured out to verify the location of the previous days findings. The plan was to reconfirm the findings and then dive on the location to discover what had triggered such great data. The findings were extremely promising.

At anchor overnight, the sand cay was lit by the waning moon as turtles came up to lay their eggs. It was like they were and are the guardians of the reef and the people who were stranded here.

The Silentworld Foundation team ventured out on the outside edge of the reef. The prevailing winds here are South East and being able to get to this edge is sometimes difficult. The weather conditions were perfect over the previous days for the crew to scan the reef edge using the magnetometer and provide visual references.

Day 5: Kenn Reef At anchor near the sand cay we were witness to a little surprise. Among the remains of lost ships there was new life and the cay now plays host to the nesting area for green sea turtles. A few of the Silentworld Foundation team ventured ashore under the lights of the full moon.

The day was full of surprises with previously unknown wrecks being located with visual findings of cannons and anchors. These previously unknown wrecks are now being further studied to assess if the wrecks can be identified and brought to life through history.

During the day, the tender combined with two teams of divers were to see some significant finds. The morning dives saw the discovery of a significant wreck site. With the discovery of anchors and a cannon the mystery of what ship it was and who was on-board was yet to be discovered.

Day 7 and 8: Kenn Reef The weather has been brilliant for us to be able to access remote locations. We have remained at the same anchorage each day in the lee of the sand cay.

The Silentworld Foundation teams ventured out in the tenders over of the last few days with the prevailing winds being South East and slight. Over the coming days more wreck sites were found and others were expanded on.

The expedition was a huge success and all crew gathered the photographic evidence, documenting each day’s activities and findings for the benefit of all of us.

The wind increased overnight out at the reef with 15 to 20 knots of wind from the South-East and the swell increasing to 2 meters. This meant the expedition must come to an end and we started packing all the instruments and dive gear in preparation for the trip back to Bundaberg.

Day 2: St Crispin’s Reef to Rachel Carson

ITINERARY 2

After breakfast we moved Spirit up to South Agincourt where Nursery Bommie and Barra Bommie were snorkelled. The afternoon saw us at The Point. All three sights were spectacular.

Agincourt Reefs are dived daily from Port Douglas, the Quicksilver pontoon is there. That evening we anchored at Rachel Carson Reef.

M/Y Spirit: Winner 2019 Superyacht Australia Voyager Award (major sponsor Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard) Date: December 2018 10 days 285 nautical miles

Day 3: Rachel Carson to Ribbon Reef # 3 The crew and I on board Spirit are passionate about the Reef: this is where we live and this is where we are lucky enough to work. With over 3000 reef systems and cays, and an abundance of marine life, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest coral reef in the world and without a doubt one of nature’s greatest gift to us all.

This morning we checked out Southern Escape Reefs and decided not to snorkel there. The visibility was not very good and storm damage was evident.

We snorkelled the inside wall and the northern end at Rachel Carson instead. Both were good: there was no bleaching or storm damage but not much fish life.

Anchorage that evening was taken at Ribbon Reef # 3.

This voyage takes in all that the reef has to say, the good and the bad.

This was to be a snorkelling trip with our guests spending usually between three and four hours a day in the water. Coral bleaching and storm damage are far more evident at shallow depths. With the help of Reef Watch, the charterers knowledge from previous trips and our recent first-hand experience out on the Reef we came up with a plan.

Day 4 – Ribbon Reef # 3 Today we snorkelled the southern end of Ribbon Reef #3; Steves Bommie, Flare Point and The Temple of Doom. All very good. Once again, no evidence of coral bleaching and minimal storm damage limited to the outside walls. The anchorage itself is fantastic; there really is nothing like being alone out on the Reef at night no light pollution and just the stars for company.

Day 1: Port Douglas to St Crispin reef Our first day saw us leave port at around 11:00 heading North East to St Crispin Reef for the afternoon and evening. This is a great under used anchorage, the weather was beautiful, one of those glassy calm days that the reef can produce this time of year. Steaming time was around 3 and a half hours. That afternoon we ran our guests over to South Agincourt where they snorkelled Advanced Bommie. It was stunning, great coral and an abundance of fish life.

Day 5: Ribbon Reef # 3 to Ribbon Reef # 5 We head further north along the Ribbon Reefs anchoring at Ribbon Reef # 5. Excellent snorkelling was had at the Clam Gardens and Nemo’s Wall.

Another amazing anchorage; crystal clear water, sandy bottom and surrounded by Bommies…. We are certainly seeing a pattern.

Day 6: Ribbon reef #5 to Ribbon Reef # 9

Day 10: Lizard Island to Port Douglas

We anchored as we usually do at the south end of Ribbon Reef # 9. We snorkelled Wonderland and the passage. Spectacular! This is one of the most easily entered and protected anchorages on the reef. As with most visits, here we only shared it with one of the local game boats out marlin fishing. The local Captains and crew of these boats work extremely hard in sometimes very rough conditions. They are passionate about the reef and the fishing and operate a tag and release programme wherever possible.

After an overnight passage to Port Douglas, we entered Crystal Book Superyacht Marina for our final day of this incredible trip. It is here where the rainforest meets the reef, there is a vibrant bustling sea side town. Chic boutiques, gourmet restaurants, one of the best beaches in the world and access easily to such iconic places as Hartley’s Crocodile farm and the Daintree, really a great place to start and finish.

What did the Reef have to say to me over these 10 days?

Day 7/8: Ribbon reef # 9 to Ribbon Reef # 10

Well, she has had some knocks that’s for sure yet it just gives her personality. She is still there providing a living for thousands of people bringing tourists from all over the world to Australia. I have been truly impressed with what we saw over the 10 days and I will not hesitate to bring my future clients back. We only scratched the surface of what she has to offer. I was so inspired by this journey, we now offer it as a charter starting from Cairns or Port Douglas.

Again, another fantastic anchorage shared only with the fish and the stars. We stayed for two days as this area has some of the most beautiful coral and fish life on the reef. Pinkie’s Wall, Gardens, Lighthouse Bommies were all in pristine condition.

Day 9: Ribbon Reef # 10 to Lizard Island Heading towards Lizard Island and anchoring in Watsons Bay, we were lucky enough to pick up a Spanish Mackerel for dinner. Once anchored, the guests asked if we could take a couple of them on an introductory dive which we were more than happy to do. We dropped in at the clam gardens and had a fantastic 45 minutes dive admiring the soft corals and the incredibly tame fish life. The afternoon was spent hiking to Captain Cooks Lookout and playing around on the beautiful beach in Watsons Bay. After a quick stop at the Marlin Bar for a cold beer, everyone returned for dinner where the resident nurse sharks, giant grouper and trevally came to put on a show for us in the underwater lights.

congregates. Guided by the best experts in the country, our clients got the thrill of their lives when a 6-meter female Great White Shark emerged from the depths and passed right next to their cage. An amazing day and a truly unforgettable experience for this great couple.

1. BE PART OF A REAL OPERA SHOW AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE One of our esteemed guests was an Opera fanatic. We surprised her with an invitation to be part of a real opera performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House. A day before the actual performance, she rehearsed with the show’s Director and Choreographer. On the night of the performance, the guest entered the iconic Sydney Opera House via the stage door like a real artist. She then reported to hair and makeup to have her show make-up and wig applied.

We wanted to end the day in a special way.

After a beautiful scenic Heli-flight, a private chauffeur drove our clients to their hotel to freshen up and then drove them to the private residence of a celebrity Chef, in Port Lincoln, for a Master class cooking demonstration and 6 course dinner of local produce and wine. The setting was divine overlooking the waterways of the Port Lincoln Marina. The Chef provided our clients with the freshest, most sumptuous seafood Australia has to offer. Wild caught Abalone, Squid and Prawns, locally farmed Kingfish, Mussels and Coffin Bay Oysters as well as fresh Lobsters caught that day. A fantastic way to finish off a day on the Eyre Peninsula.

When she heard her half-hour call, she was getting dressed in a costume fitted just for her.

She followed the stage Director and came on stage with the chorus singing while her lovely husband watched her opera debut from the auditorium. A true experience of a lifetime limited to very few and a story she has been sharing with many friends.

3. MAGICAL WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SUPERYACHT Our Private Jet Tour clients were wine connoisseurs and lovers' of food, so we wanted to give them a culinary showcase. We flew a Wine Ambassador from an internationally renowned South Australian winery over to Sydney to conduct an ultimate luxury wine tasting & dining experience on the guest’s Superyacht while cruising on the spectacular Sydney Harbour.

2.ADRENALINE RUSH WITH A CULINARY TWIST

To enhance the dining experience, the eightcourse menu was designed so that each course was paired with each wine that had been carefully selected by the Ambassador. The guests were delighted to experience such an exclusive and intimate masterclass on a superyacht, overlooking the harbour.

Have you ever thought of diving amongst the world’s most feared and most misunderstood predator – the Great White shark? This is what we planned for one of our clients, a lover of truly wild nature. To make the experience really special, we had organized a private helicopter flight to the Neptune Islands where one of the planet’s most amazing predators'

5. AUSTRALIA’S MOST EXCLUSIVE GOLF COURSE AND SPA RETREAT

Connecting with the oldest living culture on Earth is something truly special. At Touring Treasures, we strive to provide our clients with truly authentic and immersive Aboriginal experiences. Far away from the crowd, our clients gain privileged access to remote Aboriginal homelands and communities that are only accessible to very few because of their location and distance from the modern world.

We had 4 couples traveling together in Australia on a Superyacht. From their travel profiles, we knew that all husbands were golf fanatics however their wives had other interests. To provide a true bespoke experience, we crafted an amazing land-based day for the group. We organized a special food, wine and golf day at one of Australia’s most exclusive golf courses where access to nonmembers is extremely difficult to obtain. Our solid network enabled us to provide our clients with the opportunity to enjoy such a privilege reserved to very few.

Exclusive and authentic are the only words that can accurately describe our Aboriginal experiences. Deep in the outback, our clients connect with the local population and learn about a culture so rare and different to their own. Touring Treasures give them the opportunity to fully immerse in the Aboriginal culture by meeting and connecting with heads of the communities visited, accessing very special rock art sites, trying their traditional food and even listening to ancient stories.

We made sure their helicopter flight to the Estate was scenic. Of course, we had organized a special day for the wives as well. We flew them by helicopter to a legendary and luxurious health retreat where they enjoyed one of Australia’s best spa treatments for a full day. Of course, fine food and bubbles were part of their bespoke program. Husbands and wives were ecstatic upon their return to their yacht and talked all night about their very special day.

Ensure Your Guests Have the Experience of a Lifetime These experiences were tailor-made to the travel profiles of our guests. This is what makes them truly special. You don’t get generic activities, or pre-packaged holidays that anyone can buy online. You get a unique and ultra-exclusive adventure, perfectly planned to suit your VIP guests’ interests and desires and exceed their expectations. This is exactly what we do at Touring Treasures and why we’ve been recognised as Australia’s premier travel company by Tourism Australia for many years.

Sea Women of Melanesia Project by the Coral Sea Foundation

The Coral Sea borders the Great Barrier Reef and the island archipelagos of Melanesia, and contains marine ecosystems of exceptionally high quality. Our aim is to raise awareness of the ecological and social value the Coral Sea and Eastern Coral Triangle, and to be proactive in its sustainable management. This region contains the last great reservoir of high biodiversity coral reef in the world, yet most of it is remote and rarely visited, and is in urgent need of our assistance. Combining an ethos of science, ecotourism, and sustainability, the Coral Sea Foundation works with traditional owners in Melanesia to develop marine reserves that enhance fisheries and ecotourism resources, while improving the basic quality of life of people in our partner villages.

reserves to their local communities and are able to identify areas suitable for marine protected areas on their own coral reefs.

Several UN studies have shown that educating girls and young women in developing nations is a very practical way to achieve lower birthrates and positive outcomes in environmental management, along with a slew of other social benefits. At the Coral Sea Foundation, we are committed to implementing that strategy in a way that benefits both the people and coral reefs of Melanesia. In order to encourage community participation in the marine reserve process, we support our villages with clean water infrastructure, medical aid, and educational materials for local schools.

This program already has an excellent track record of results, with the experience of our first trainee, Lorie Pipiga, vital in securing the Nua Marine Reserve Network in the waters of Ferguson Island, which has some of the best reefs in the whole Eastern Coral Triangle.

An important aspect of our strategy involves selecting intelligent and determined young Melanesian women and training them in conservation theory, scuba diving and marine biology survey techniques so they have the skills to communicate the need for marine

Another of our trainees, Martha Eimba from Alotau, had this to say about her dive training: Being underwater is surreal. The moment you become submerged it’s like you’re in outer space and everything becomes weightless. I was nervous on my first open water dive at the Conflict Islands but the moment I opened my eyes underwater the whole area was teeming with life! Corals of different shapes, size and colours, colourful fish and sting rays, anemones and giant clams, sea cucumbers and turtles. A diverse array of marine life that can rival that of a tropical rainforest. It was truly an amazing sight. One that is worth protecting!

I think that you need to truly have a passion for something in order to excel or thrive in it.

A wise person once said that little girls need to see role models in whatever career they want to pursue just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can’t be what you can’t see.

I am truly grateful to be a Sea Woman of Melanesia and I want to say thanks to Dr. Andy Lewis and the Coral Sea Foundation team who made this dream a reality. I'm looking forward to expanding the work of the Sea Women of Melanesia in PNG and helping to protect and preserve our marine resources for the next generation. www.coralseafoundation.net

Comprising almost 4,000 individual reefs and stretching 2,300km down the Australian coast, it’s a massive ecosystem and one of the most biodiverse places on the planet; simply jump in the water and it will take your breath away.

But the Great Barrier Reef, and reefs around the world, are under increasing pressure. And while it’s a resilient ecosystem and still a place of incredible beauty and life, we need everyone’s help to keep it that way.

Join the Great Reef Census

To get a clearer idea of what’s happening on the Reef on how best to preserve it, we need to survey as much of the Reef as possible.

The Great Reef Census is a world-first effort which aims to establish the most comprehensive snapshot ever captured of the Great Barrier Reef.

Superyachts are in a unique position to access more remote and less-visited reefs and to help to gather vital data on their status. With citizen science playing an increasingly important role in supporting reef management, every superyacht visiting the Reef can act as a research vessel, ready to collect valuable data.

The event is scheduled to take place over a 12 week period, beginning in the Spring of 2020.

This window is in between the Tokyo Olympics and the America’s Cup so if you’re already in-region, it’s a perfect time to visit the Great Barrier Reef and experience its wonders first hand.

That’s why we’re calling on superyachts from across the world to join us on the Great Barrier Reef for the Great Reef Census in the Spring of 2020!

The best part is that everyone on board can take part - if you’re a competent snorkeller and you have a GoPro, you can join in.

Join this global effort and help us engage the world in the future of the Great Barrier Reef.

ropical Northern Queensland... where the rainforest meets the reef. This incredible part of the planet boasts it all from secluded beaches and hideaway resorts, to the vibrant lifestyle of Cairns, the beauty of The Great Barrier Reef to adventure travel and experiences that dreams are made of.

While you could easily spend your break relaxed on one of the gorgeous beaches, you will not want to miss out on all the incredible things there are to do across this region; snorkelling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef, a cycle or hike through highland plateaus, exploring hidden rainforest waterfalls, white-water rafting, or even skydiving! Get involved in one of the many conservation projects, experience indigenous culture and arts encounters, take a helicopter for a fishing trip or get your camping gear and “go bush”.

Of course the food and wine is a part of any Aussie visit and the choice and quality is impressive.

There are also museums depicting the multicultural history of the country, markets bustling with fresh foods and handicrafts, and some of the best spas and wellness retreats in the country.

Australians organize so many events and are really great at doing so! They may be showcasing one of their many cultures or just simply putting on a party, so, keep up to date and don’t miss out on what Tropical Northern Queensland has to offer: www.tropicalnorthqueensland.org.au

“We will be the cleanest, greenest and most high-tech superyacht facility and marina,” said Mr Longhurst.

“Our vision is to become the refit and service yard of choice for Australia’s charter fleet and privately-owned superyachts as well as foreign-flagged yachts visiting our waters.”

In the style of an Airline Club Lounge, a VIP lounge with large panel glazing and 5-star amenities will be located adjacent to the superyacht lifting bay as a vantage point for Captains and owners to view their vessels during haul out and water blasting. Parking and concierge services are conveniently on the doorstep.

A sample of the projects through the shipyard this year include:

The Yard Brisbane 44 Barku Ct, Hemmant, Queensland, 4174, Australia

• Warranty work for Royal Huisman, Delta, Lagoon, Damen

Finishing off 2019 strongly with more Superyachts and bigger projects than ever before.

• Engine/Generator Change Outs

It is known in the industry that the second half of the calendar year is the stronger of the two halves. The Yard Brisbane is certainly finishing the year off strongly.

The number of Superyachts (over 35m) visiting The Yard Brisbane this year increased by 20% over the previous calendar year. Vessels taking advantage of The Yard Brisbane at the time of writing the special edition include:

• Split Bus Electrical installations syncr system • High Horsepower Main engine rebuilds • Interior re-design and refit • Full vessel refinishing • Rig refurbishment and servicing – Large Sailing Yachts with our partners Rig Pro • Lifting Keel Servicing – done on site.

• Hardstand: Antares (45m – just departed), Last Vintage (36m)

• Fibreglass, aluminium and carbon fibre hull repairs – all done on site by marine tenants.

• Work Berth: Endless Summer (50m)

• Rebuilds on a variety of feathering propeller systems for large sailing yachts

• Project Halls: Pursuit (51m), Legacy (50m), Murcialago (36m), Broadway (25m)

• Working with all survey classification societies • Underwater gear – shaft bearing, both gyro stabilisation systems, install and service.

• Scheduled to come in this year: Rochade (50m), Adix (68m), Texas T (36m), Bravado (45m) and Moatize (45m).

Facility Upgrades The Yard Brisbane has constructed a new front gate access system. This new front gate serves to facilitate a new ‘Outside Contractors’ policy. Both have been designed to assist in driving up standards at the shipyard. The focus is on better quality, health, safety and environmental outcomes in the facility.

The changing nature of the superyacht marketplace The Superyacht sector in Australia is growing and certainly The Yard Brisbane is benefiting along with their neighbouring boatyards and shipyards in the South East Queensland marketplace. Increasingly captains and owners are using the services of MCA Projects, The Yards’ on-site project management service, for coordinating refits. The buying power, coordinated billing and trusted relationships with tenants and preferred suppliers are important elements of the refit coordination service.

The Yard’s 65T Precinct has now been relocated and all vessels and marine tenants are now operating within one shipyard, allowing clients to access all capabilities the facility has within one well-resourced precinct.

The TYB Team The Yard’s on-site marine team of tenants and preferred suppliers now constitutes 250+ skilled marine professionals. Captains we interviewed reported on the technical capabilities and ‘can-do’ attitude of all onsite staff and tenants.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • NEW SOUTH WALES

New South Wales

T

he State of New South Wales covers a vast area from Byron Bay in the North, famous for its beaches, surf and subsequent lifestyle to the miles of pristine beaches, coves and bays in the South, including Eden. Heading inland, The Snowy Mountains border the State of Victoria, offering spectacular scenery, skiing and snowboarding or during the summer hiking, climbing, cycling and horse riding. Staying inland, the Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands are both a day trip from Sydney, the latter offering bushwalking, pubs and antique shops while the Blue Mountains have caves to explore and offer a little more of a wilderness experience…with a bar & restaurant or two!

No trip to NSW is complete without a visit to the Hunter Valley and its many vineyards, most of which are open for tastings and many have great restaurants to help you enjoy a lazy, wine infused lunch. The area capitol, Newcastle, is settled at the mouth of the Hunter River, with Lake Macquarie, the Southern hemisphere’s largest, permanent coastal salt water lake there to explore. Also some of the most beautiful forests exist in this area, offering more great walking and cycling.

As one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Sydney will certainly take your breath away not only when you see the view of the harbour and iconic Opera House.

The capital of NSW and the most populous city in The Southern Hemisphere has an extremely lively night scene, restaurants and bars for all tastes, an active China Town and of course, a strong beat of Aboriginal cultures. Sydney Harbour is the life blood of the city and to think a yacht can anchor or berth in the middle of this, is quite something!

Haul-out

MARINE INFORMATION Sydney Harbour is a very busy waterway, managing all types of marine traffic and hence falls under MARPOL and IMO regulations, along with local rules and regulations. At all times, when operating within Sydney Harbour or within a 5-mile radius, the monitoring of VHF channel 13 is mandatory, along with the required check-ins with Sydney Ports VTS.

Marina berthing Marina berthing for the larger superyachts in Sydney is offered by Sydney Superyacht Marina and Jones Bay Marina. There is also the possibility to berth alongside Campbell’s Cove Jetty with direct view on the Opera House. Other marinas in Sydney and NSW offer berthing to smaller yachts up to 30-40+ meters, like D’Albora’s two marinas, Rosebay, Soldiers Point, The Spit and a few others. For details see the Marinas & Mooring section.

Haul-out is possible at Sydney City Marine (800 tonne syncro lift and very busy so planning required), Thales in Newcastle are looking into facilitating superyachts and Garden Island in Sydney (navy/commercial).

Smaller facilities exist for tenders/runabouts.

Find full up-to-date details on guidelines for superyachts in Sydney in this downloadable handbook: www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/maritime/usingwater ways/sydney-harbour-superyacht-guidelines.pdf More information on cruising within Australia as a whole on: www.superyacht-australia.com.

Rose Bay Marina, Sydney Start in Rose Bay Marina and enjoy the sights of the harbour and Australia’s most iconic land marks as you cruise past the Opera House under Sydney Harbour Bridge, also visiting Darling Harbour and the beautiful Farm Cove situated beside the Opera house, surrounded

by Sydney’s Botanical gardens. Anchor in Double Bay, a prime position to see the city and harbour lights come alive in the evening.

2 Sydney to Pittwater The option of a walk in the morning presents itself from Bradleys Head to Chowder Bay. The walk starts out below Taronga Zoo and follows the harbour coast in a north easterly direction with views across the harbour to Double Bay, Shark Island and Rose Bay. Discover convict-built battery’s put in place after four American war ships arrived unannounced in 1839. Then head out of the heads to open ocean, heading north passing Whale Beach and Palm Beach. On arrival cruise the sheltered waters of Pittwater, the gate way to arguably some of the most beautiful waterways to cruise in Australia before anchoring in Careel Bay.

3 Pittwater – Hawkesbury River Leave The Royal Motor Yacht Club in the morning and head towards the outer harbour and Palm Beach.

Anchor in Careel Bay for some swimming, water skiing or wake boarding or just take it easy and take a stand up paddle board to the beach. Then going ashore for lunch overlooking the mighty Tasman Sea and enjoying culinary delights of one of Sydney’s northern beaches stand out restaurants Jonah’s Whale Beach. Back on board, up anchor to navigate past the outer reaches of the Hawkesbury River and Cowan Creek, skirting the edge of the Ku-ring-gai National Park to the night’s anchorage in American Bay.

Celebrate New Years’ Eve in Sydney Harbour Overnight sail back to Sydney Harbour to the best vantage point possible for the upcoming night’s festivities. Time for Sydney sight-seeing, lunch and shopping during the day. Aerobatic displays start at 06:00 pm and the evening doesn’t stop until the New Year has well and truly arrived. The biggest event on the Harbour calendar by far, a flotilla of vessels in the thousands and fireworks that stop a nation. Get ready to be in a front row seat for the biggest fireworks show this country has to offer!!

5 Vaucluse Bay – Manly – Middle Harbour – the Spit An easy and lazy day spent in the beautiful Sydney waters, for visiting Manly, some snorkelling and moving through Middle Harbour to Sugar Loaf Bay.

6 Hunters Bay and Farm Cove The yacht moves to Hunters Bay for a lunch date ashore at The Bathers Pavilion. After lunch cruise to Farm Cove for the afternoon anchorage. Try the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb, tour the Opera House or stroll through the Botanical Gardens. A sunset cruise takes guests to the night’s anchorage in Double Bay.

7 Scenic flight and see you again soon In the morning the yacht relocates to Rose Bay, where the tour began. After breakfast time for a scenic flight aboard a float place to see Sydney and the central coast from the air.

Pittwater Anchorages “I’d recommend that you incorporate a few days on anchor in Pittwater and the Hawkesbury River. The Hawkesbury River is just north of Sydney Harbour and offers deep water and sheltered anchoring locations in most bays. The Hawkesbury is surrounded by National Parks offering privacy and a rich natural environment with plenty of opportunities to take a tender and goashore on a local beach. If you visit the Hawkesbury outside school holidays period (10 to 26 April 2020) you’ll notice few boats around. The Hawkesbury is really, really breath taking”.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • NEW SOUTH WALES

Major Yacht Services See full Ad in the main introduction Sydney Superyacht Marina, NSW Major Yacht Services, (MYS), has been especially designed to meet the growing needs of Superyachts visiting Australian waters.

MYS can assist with all your superyacht customs clearance and quarantine requirements in any Australian port. They can arrange to have most of the paperwork completed, prior to the yacht arrival, allowing for a seamless and stress-free entry into Australia. At the time of arrival, MYS will plan for the Authorities to meet at your vessel at her berth instead of clearing at a Customs clearance anchorage or wharf.

MYS has organised Superyacht Berths for both foreign and domestic superyachts in most major ports in Australia. No matter your cruising destination or port of arrival we have the local knowledge to provide the right advice.

At MYS they have over 20 years of experience in assisting Captain’s and Crew to obtain Visas. Thereby streamlining the process and making the Sponsorship and Visa application process as seamless and as easy as possible. Any Superyacht travelling into Australia who has foreign crew on board must have valid visas for the Crew prior to entry. In some cases, it requires a Sponsorship to be in place so that the foreign crew members can acquire the most appropriate Visas. The sponsor can be the Captain or the Owner of the Superyacht, or the Ownership Company.

MYS Superyacht Crew is a leading Superyacht crew placement agency in Australia, placing qualified superyacht crew worldwide including New Zealand, Asia, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Middle East & the Pacific. With over 5000 registered crew members they have candidates in locations spanning the globe and whether your yacht is at anchor in Sydney harbour, onroute to Fiji or sitting stern-to in St Tropez we are happy to assist with all your crewing requirements.

MYS is also a leading supplier to the Superyacht industry of diesel fuel and lubricants, Australia wide.

They supply bunkers to both foreign and domestic superyachts. Depending on your location, they can offer bunkers from either truck, barge or bowser.

Holding trade accounts with several major fuel suppliers throughout Australia, Major Yacht Services is consistently doing the fuel volume to enable fuel supply at the most competitive prices. For yachts that will depart Australia, Major Yacht Services can supply fuel completely duty free.

MYS has an in-house chandlery, offering over 50 well known brands such as Shurhold, Aere fenders, Awl grip products, K2r products TRAC & many more. MYS also hold trade accounts with all major distributors, suppliers and manufacturers of superyacht deck, interior and engineering equipment Australia wide.

From safety equipment, raw water pumps, water maker filters, flat top cleats & new life rafts Major Yacht Services has the experience and supply network to ensure we find the right product at only the most competitive prices.

As an AYSS member, MYS has access to agencies on a global scale, with representatives in over 30 countries.

With an extensive network of preferred suppliers, they can provide almost anything that a visiting superyacht and its personnel may require.

Tasmania

T

he Southern Island State of Australia, Tasmania or “Tassie”, is renowned for its wilderness, wildlife, farming, wineries and UNESCO heritage sites of the penal settlements. Tassie is also legendary for the fantastic warmth the locals show to visitors and the enigmatic and iconic Tasmanian Devil, once a resident of mainland Australia, now only existing on Tassie and the tiny Maria Island.

In 1982 The World Heritage Committee included the Western Tasmanian Wilderness National Parks into the World Heritage List – about 1/5 of the state. This area consists of 6 national parks and a number of reserves, creating a wilderness of “indescribable beauty”.

When we asked the locals what is good about Tasmania for visiting superyachts, they answered: ”Scenery! Clean & green, large empty beautiful beaches, bays, cliffs, sheltered anchorages, National Parks, wilderness, World Heritage sites, hiking, views, wildlife, vineyards, cellar doors, food!, local produce, cheeses, the best meat, freshest seafood, distilleries, surprisingly nice weather, deep sea fishing (just 10 nm East of Tasman Island), restaurants, very upmarket lodges, MONA and MOFO modern art, golf!, historical sites, mountain bike parks (Grand Prix), scuba diving, deep water ports (Hobart), excellent marine services and supplies!! (almost everything you need is there and can be supplied).

Some may say that Tasmania offers the best cruising grounds of Australia; Its smaller size means it is possible for guests to see so much of the Island state, with stunning new anchorages almost every night and minimal time spent underway. Of course, the weather can be temperamental and obviously colder than Northern areas, but this is nothing that a well-prepared yacht cannot handle, to make the owner’s trip special and everything we have heard and seen says this place is truly special.

Berths /moorings

MARINE INFORMATION Cruising times / climate Often remembered for its remoteness, weather systems and storms during the Sydney Hobart-Race, Tasmania offers some very sheltered, lovely cruising under very agreeable temperatures. Best time is late Feb-April with less wind and still fairly warm temperatures (into 20+ degrees Celsius). Dec-Jan is warmer (up to 25 degrees), but with more wind and certainly busier with island visitors. Oct-Nov is possible, but more wind and colder than the Feb-April window. Not dissimilar to Melbourne, the weather can change suddenly. It can be sunny and 25 degrees one minute, only to have the wind shift direction to a southerly coming straight from the Antarctic the next. Keep a warm jacket close by at all times!

Pilotage Pilotage rules apply, similar to everywhere else in Australia, exemptions can be given based on local knowledge and yacht size. See Pilotage section.

Hobart: Superyachts berth alongside the Princes Wharf Quay (with security), the public Elizabeth Pier or at anchor in Sandy Bay (opposite the Royal Tasmanian Yacht Club). Margate, at the Derwent River before coming to Hobart, is presently developing a new marina with berths up to 40 m.

Tamar River in the North provides sheltered berthing at a public dock (with a Sea Life Centre) at Beauty Point. Berthing through TasPorts.

Anchoring in the inland waterways of Port Davey and Macquarie Harbour on the West Coast are limited to max 40 m (Port Davey) and 3 m draft (Macquarie).

Tasmanian Maritime Network TMN is Tasmania’s active association for the maritime industry. Members of the network offer expertise in manufacturing, engineering, logistics, training, clothing, safety equipment and shipping for both the commercial and military markets.

Cruising areas With predominantly Westerly winds, this means that when weather systems hit, the West Coast gets battered and the East Coast and South East Coast are often spared from the worst weather. The East and South East provide fantastic sheltered sailing grounds between islands with stunning anchorages, beaches and rugged cliffs.

The North of Tasmania is less sheltered, but yachts can berth 6 nm into the Tamar River at Beauty Point.

The heavily forested West Coast, covered in dense rainforest, is less protected for cruising and needs the right weather window. It features two stunning inland bays and rivers.

Port Davey / Bathurst Channel: entrance is subject to size and currently only up to 40 m, due to environmental protection. The government is looking into possibilities of allowing larger yachts to enter.

The second is Macquarie Harbour, another large inland bay, with draft restrictions of about 3 m for Kelly Passage at Macquarie Heads. With access to Strahan town, Gordon River and Sarah Island (historical penal settlement).

Pick up guests in Hobart South East Tasmania

South of Hobart: Bruny Island, Tasman Peninsula and Tasman Island - South East Tasmania

Pick up guests in Hobart and spend a few days there.

Hobart is very much up and coming in the food and wine scene. Thanks to its small population, colder climate and farmlands, this has attracted some of Melbourne’s best chefs to relocate for a “fresh” change and in turn, they are putting Tassie on the map for food.

Whilst Tassie is gaining in popularity (it is one of Australia’s fastest growing tourism destinations), it’s still a big town rather than a little city.

“Locals do not know how to drive – that’s just a given, and they will complain about the traffic all the time, when it’s pretty much non-existent! Of course, this means parking is easy and you are always close to provisioning points and incredibly friendly and helpful locals”.

Fashion too is not a strong point – people dress for the weather rather than for looks, so don’t worry about having the right outfits. Weekends are still traditional for the nights out, while the rest of the week is lower key. Salamanca is the “hot spot”, however, the locals still tend to gravitate to the West Hobart Strip…the choice is yours.

Things to do while in Hobart: visit the MONA art museum, enjoy the views from Mount Wellington, Salamanca Market on Saturdays, take a culinary day trip to Richmond historical village with Frogmore Creek (winery, lunch), Cole River Valley (cheese), Puddle Duck Vineyard and a chocolate maker.

Bruny Island Cruise several days around Bruny Island and anchor at Adventure Bay, on the East of a scenic isthmus connecting North and South Bruny. Once on the island it’s a little slice of all things Tasmanian. “Fantastic surf at Cloudy Bay. Stop at S. Bruny Island Cheese Company, make sure you sample all the amazing free cheese before ordering a toasted sandwich (I recommend the leek and mushroom) – wash it down with a glass of Bruny Island Beer (I recommend the Dark Ale, “Oxymoron”). Lovely drive around the Island, walk along the beaches. Make sure you stop at the Oyster shack ‘Get Shucked’ on N. Bruny on your way out. The most delicious and fresh oysters you will ever try!

Guests will love exploring here as will crew. A great place for the yacht to cruise with guests as it offers many sheltered anchorages.”

Alternatively, Bruny Island is a fantastic day trip for guests or crew from Hobart. Drive 35 minutes from Hobart to Kettering; Drive your car onto one of the regular ferries. A really good way to fill in a day of activity from Hobart. www.brunyisland.org.au Tasman Peninsula features historical site penal settlement Port Arthur, yachts can moor in the Bay. A good place for whale-watching too. Deep sea fishing starts just 10 nm east of Tasman Island where the plateau drops.

North of Hobart: Maria Island / Cooks Bay - South East Tasmania

Binalong, Bay of Fires – North East Coast

Cooks Beach or Maria Island The best anchorages, in a virtually untouched area by yachts, both being in the National Park. Open fires on the beach would probably be prohibited, however BBQ’s taken ashore would I’m sure be ok (besides, it is so remote that there wouldn’t be many people around to kick up a fuss). There is a stunning 4-day hike across Maria Island and Darlington penal settlement to visit.

Binalong Bay is good for a day stop and Bay of Fires has stunning landscapes with white beaches, blue water and orange-hued granite rocks (the orange is produced by algea). Guests can return here by helicopter or car from Launceston for longer visits.

There is a famous Bay of Fires Walk.

6 The North Coast of Tasmania

Launceston

Tria Bunna, Coles Bay, Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park – East Coast Tria Bunna, is only a 45 mins drive from Hobart and a good site for transfer of people and supplies.

Tenders/runabouts can come into the marina at Spring Bay Boat Club.

From Coles Bay there is excellent exploring of wineries and cellar doors in the region.

Wineglass Bay is featured as one of the world’s best beaches and the whole area is pretty spectacular. If going by yacht maybe anchor in the Town of Coles Bay or possibly in Wineglass Bay itself. Active guests can hike the Wineglass Bay walk, which gives an amazing view of the beach from the Hazards (and yes, the bay is shaped like a wine glass!). The park has on average 300 days of sunshine per year. Fantastic anchorages for yachts and would be the place to cruise with guests.

This really is what Tassie is all about!

Alternatively, it is a 3-hour drive from Hobart; it’s more of a weekend trip than a day trip. www.wineglassbay.com

Smaller and quieter than Hobart, it is a good base for exploring the North of the state. The famous MONA FOMA (MOFO) festival is held here in January. At the end of the Tamar River (yachts moor at Beauty Point, but tenders can reach Launceston). A stepping-stone to Barnbougle Golf Courses, Tamar Valley wine route (170 km), the West Coast Drive (400 km), Cradle Mountain, various culinary experiences and mountain bike parks like Blue Derby. Yachts can moor North of Launceston on the Tamar River at Beauty Point, there is a public dock and conveniently an airport. www.launceston.tas.gov.au/Home

Devonport & Burnie In North West Tasmania. Lower key, small towns compared to Hobart and Launceston. Devonport has the one of the deepest ports in Tassie and is where the Spirit of Tasmania ferry arrives from Melbourne. Simply stunning country side around this area, offering kayaking and fishing. Devonport has good walking and cycling tracks and the trail to “The Bluff” has Aboriginal rock carvings along the way. www.discovertasmania.com.au/about/ regions-of-tasmania/north-west

www.tasmania.com/things-to-do/nationalparks/freycinet-national-park

Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair In North West Tasmania. Home to a very popular bush walk called the overland track, a 4-5-day hike though the wilderness. Alternately visit for a few days and do day walks from Cradle Mountain Lodge. The area is located up the North of Tasmania, so around a 4 to 5 hour drive from Hobart. Amazing in summer but even more spectacular in winter with the snow, this is a very special place. Given its popularity, Parks and Wildlife have now put restrictions in place, with limited numbers of people allowed to walk each day. www.discovertasmania.com.au/about/nationalparks-and-wilderness/cradle-mountain-lake-stclair-national-park

7 The West Coast and South West Coast of Tasmania Cruising is very weather dependent Macquarie Harbour, another large inland bay, with draft restrictions of about 3m for Kelly Passage at Macquarie Heads. With access to Strahan town, Gordon River and Sarah Island (historical penal settlement).

8 King Island and Flinders Island King Island and Flinders Island have some berths and anchorages available. Arrange through TasPorts, any pilotage exemptions are also managed via TasPorts.

King Island, 180 nm flight away from Launceston Airport, sports two exceptional, world class golf courses: Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes.

Guest can fly here from Tasmania for one or two days playing golf and to enjoy the island. There's something interesting at every turn - from a lighthouse and offshore shipwrecks, to the island's great nature walks and unique wildlife, including the elusive platypus and rare orange-bellied parrots. Also, some amazing local produce: cheese (King Island Blue Cheese!), dairy products, beef, honey, seafood, fruit and veggies. www.kingisland.org.au Flinders Island, 100 nm from Launceston Airport, is the largest of the Furneaux Group of 52 Islands. Rolling hills, granite mountain ranges of Strzelecki National Park, long deserted beaches, wilderness, peace and quiet, natural beauty and local attractions. The small KilleCrankie settlement is famous for an abundance of topaz (locally known as Killiecrankie Diamonds). www.visitflindersisland.com.au

Strahan & Queenstown Strahan and Queenstown are 2 small towns in the wilderness of Tassie’s West coast. Predominantly mining towns back in the 80’s. Once the mines closed, they have unfortunately become ghost towns. So incredibly quiet, barren hills stripped bare by the mining – it’s worth stopping and walking through the main street just because it feels so isolated. Strahan is home to the spectacular Gordan River Cruise, that is really worth doing. www.gordonrivercruises.com.au

Port Davey / Bathurst Channel An extremely beautiful immense inland water area. The entrance is subject to yacht size and currently only permitted for yachts up to 40 m, due to environmental protection. The Tasmanian government and TasPorts are looking into possibilities of allowing larger yachts to enter.

MONA – Museum of Old and New Art 655 Main Rd, Berriedale (not far from Hobart) – Tasmania Mona really put Tassie on the map. More than a museum, MONA provides an art experience: the art gallery is not one as you know it: Art installations with a revolving showcase of international artists. As part of the experience, MONA offers a series of unique restaurants (The Source Restaurant, FARO, Museum Café, Wine Bar and Void Bar). It has its own winery (Moorilla) with Cellar Door and created the Mona Pavilions, super flash luxury accommodation dens on the River Derwent. Two special MONA ferries run between Hobart and the museum.

You can’t come to Tassie and miss this place; it is simply amazing- this is a truly world class Museum.

Mona and the internationally renowned music/art/dance festivals Mofo (taking place in Launceston) and Dark Mofo are also closely related as initiated by the same group.

Mona organises private experiences and even dinners with Mona Director David Walsh, who started the museum after making millions as a professional gambler. It can be accessed by water (an 8 nm drive from Hobart for yachts that fit under the bridge).

Salamanca Market Mures Seafood Victoria Dock, Hobart, Tasmania Known to be the go-to for oysters, fish, muscles and pretty much anything that comes from the ocean!

Chefs would be wise to place an order with them as they do sell out quickly. They stock Bruny Island Oysters and Barilla Bay Oysters. They also have a restaurant just near the Airport, so chefs could drive out and speak with the oyster farmers themselves, if they wanted to source directly.

Contacts - Tel: +61 3 62312815 Website: www.mures.com.au/fishmonger

Every Saturday morning, the best part of these markets for chefs is the fruit and veg section run by the Hmong People every Saturday. Lovely vegies laid out in neat rows. They are situated in the flat part of the market – the only stores selling vegies under tents so hard to miss. Some 100% organic vegie stores on Saturdays too – would be a good place for chefs to go to talk to the actual farmers if they wanted to have deliveries from farmers direct.

In Australia, you cannot buy alcohol at the supermarket so have to go to a separate bottle shop. Tassie has all the same chains as the rest of Australia, however, by far the best in Tassie are 9/11 Bottle shops. They stock all the local beer and wine, and at their Gasworks shop have a separate Tasmanian Wine Tasting room. Chief Stews and Chefs would be best to go up to Gasworks 9/11 and have a wine tasting, then make their selections from there. Some fantastic new breweries starting up in Tasmania too so, if guests are into their beer this is the place to get them!

Victoria

M

elbourne is the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria and was recently voted one of the “World’s Most Livable Cities”.

Superyachts visiting Melbourne have the (impressive) opportunity to park right in the middle of the city at Melbourne Superyacht Marina after crossing Port Phillip Bay. From the marina into the city center is a 20-minute walk or you can take a ride in a free tram as the marina is at the free tram zone of Melbourne’s CBD. At the city’s center is the modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars, and restaurants by the Yarra River. In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a Performing Arts Complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and Indigenous Art. Major Events accessible by water Victoria hosts more prestigious international events than any other state in Australia; most of these events are accessible by tender or runabout directly from Melbourne Superyacht Marina.

Just to name a few: The Australian Open (Jan/Feb), Formula 1 Grand Pix (March), MotoGP (October), The Melbourne Cup (November), The 2019 President’s Cup (December), The 2020 ICT T20 World Cup Cricket, and various Polo events at high level. For more event details see under ‘Shoreside Activities / Events’.

Grampians National Park Rising abruptly from the surrounding Western Plains, the Grampians (Gariwerd) are a series of rugged sandstone mountain ranges and forests rich in wildlife. One of Victoria’s most popular holiday destinations, the park is a great venue for camping, climbing, scenic drives, bushwalks and nature study. A network of walking tracks throughout the park allows you to explore cascading waterfalls, brilliant spring wildflower displays, and panoramic views from lookouts.

Drive to Reeds and Boroka lookouts for spectacular views or visit the magnificent Fish Falls. The area has a rich Aboriginal heritage and a number of important rock art sites.

The Grampians National Park is located about 250 km northwest of Melbourne. Head for Hall’s Gap as being the main access point. For skiing you need to be in the higher mountains of New South Wales.

Twelve Apostles Southwest from Melbourne at the town of Torquay the 235 km famous Great Ocean Road starts - famous for its dramatic scenery, and Iconic Twelve Apostles.

The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction.

For the not too fainthearted the Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is a beautiful experience. Fully guided walks with private accommodation along this famous chiseled coastline are available.

Return each evening to a private eco-lodge where you'll be served gourmet meals. Unforgettable experience. Total distance about 55 km in four days. So, for the fit amongst us totally doable.

DIVING AND SNORKELLING Who would believe that Port Phillip Bay and the Mornington Peninsula sport some very good Dive Sites with clear water, plentiful sea life and underwater scenery?

With more than 500 species of sea animals and 1000 species of sea plants there is a lot to explore. A 5 or 7 mm suit is recommended to discover the huge variety of colourful sponges, fish in any size or shape, sea rays, sea stars and sea weed forests. You’ll find the elusive pipefish, pygmy seahorses hiding in the seaweed and octopuses lurking in the sand. Seals and dolphins abound and you can slip into their communities by donning some suits, masks and fins. Or witness annual migrations of thousands and thousands of giant spider crabs to the shallow parts of Port Phillip Bay to shed their old hardened shells to grow new and bigger ones.

Western Australia

W

estern Australia, covering the entire western third of the country, has a coastline of 12.900 km (and 20.800 km including islands). It has the longest coastline of any state or territory in Australia and there is much to be discovered. Its population is concentrated in its fertile southwest corner, home to the Margaret River wine region, the riverside capital, Perth and lovely Fremantle at the seaside. In the far north, the Kimberley region is home to indigenous communities, ancient Aboriginal rock art, the Bungle Bungle sandstone domes, vertical and horizontal waterfalls and Broome, with Cable Beach camels and a pearling industry. Inland WA is made up mostly of the arid Outback.

For visiting yachts there are many coral reefs equalling the Great Barrier Reef in beauty and very close to the coastline. In many places the reef is at swimming distance from the beach. Two of the reefs that stand out ae Ningaloo Reef and Montgomery Reef. WA is also the destination for whale and whale shark watching. The scenery of seascapes, beaches, estuaries and water inlets is unmatched. Bring or charter a helicopter for taking all in from the sky as well.

Margaret River

Abrolhos Islands

Margaret River and its premium wine region is the place for indulging many passions. It’s the only wine region in Australia where you can hop from award-winning wineries and restaurants to stunning beaches, talltimber forests, world-class surf breaks and ancient caves.

122 islands surrounded by coral communities teeming with marine life, the Abrolhos Islands are one of Western Australia’s unique marine environments - a snorkelling, windsurfing and bird watching paradise that’s also ranked among the world’s top fishing spots.

Keep a keen eye and a pair of binoculars handy and you’re likely to spot some of the 90 plus seabird species that have been recorded here. You will also have access to some of the best fishing in the world, the best diving and snorkelling opportunities as well. The waters at the Abrolhos are truly unique, untouched and vibrant with life.

Blessed with mild weather and abundant sunshine, Margaret River has evolved from a chilled-out surfie town into a popular base for enjoying the region’s fine flavours and spectacular scenery. Besides over 100 wineries, you’ll be spoilt for choice with many fine restaurants, boutique breweries, art galleries and fresh produce, from divine cheeses to chocolate. Time your visit to coincide with the annual wine and food festivals and you’ll get to savour many of these flavours in one hit.

4 Shark Bay

2 Rottnest Island Perth’s idyllic island playground, Rottnest is just a short ferry ride from the mainland and a world away from city life. For such a tiny island, this car-free and carefree Class A reserve packs a lot of pleasure into a day. On its shores, 63 stunning beaches, 20 beautiful bays and many coral reefs and wrecks invite you to enjoy some of Australia’s finest swimming spots, snorkel trails and surf breaks. On dry land, you’ll meet the cutest mini marsupial, found only in Western Australia, the world famous quokka, as well as many unique plant and animal species. More family fun in the form of golf, tennis, shopping and guided tours can be found in Thomson Bay, as well as cafes, restaurants and takeaway options.

In 1991, Shark Bay was inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage list in recognition of its outstanding natural beauty, biological diversity, fascinating ecology and unique insights into the Earth’s history. Here, you can meet the Monkey Mia dolphins, the world’s largest population of dugongs, walk among the largest and oldest living fossils on the planet and discover the 30,000 year history and culture of its Indigenous people.

Just off-shore, in Shark Bay Marine Park, lies Dirk Hartog Island National Park – a haven for rare burrowing frogs and white fairy wrens, and a top spot for fishing, diving, snorkelling and four-wheel-drive adventures. Today, you can arrive by barge with your 4WD, chartered flight or in your own boat.

Coral Bay

Muiron Islands

On white sand beaches, you’re just a few steps from the world’s largest fringing reef - the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. Dive, snorkel or fish in clear turquoise waters and immerse yourself in marine life encounters. It’s one of few places on Earth where you can come face-to-fin with the biggest fish in the ocean - the whale shark. These gentle filter-feeding giants can be found off the coast there from March to July every year.

Go snorkelling, swimming, surfing, or fishing at the Muiron Islands in the Ningaloo Archipelago and you’ll be rewarded with views of paradise -like tropical islands. North and South Muiron Islands are just a short boat ride from Exmouth, off the tip of the North West Cape. White sand beaches and warm tropical waters teeming with marine life, make a day trip to Muiron Islands a must. Snorkelling and diving over coral gardens in this pristine slice of paradise is top-notch.

Other close encounters of the marine kind can be enjoyed year-round, including spotting or swimming with graceful manta rays, dugongs and turtles. Or take to the skies on a scenic flight and drink in the spectacle from above.

Spend time with ‘Clive’ the friendly giant cod or one of his relatives, be impressed by huge manta rays swimming acrobatics, explore coral caves and swimthroughs, and be surrounded by huge shoal of fish.

Diving the Muirons’ is diving at its peak, more colour than you can imagine, and has been rated amongst the world’s best dive sites.

6 8

Exmouth Step off the shore near Exmouth, swim a few metres through the clearest turquoise water on Earth, and you’ll find yourself drifting over the world’s largest fringing reef - the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef.

This underwater paradise is a popular spot for dolphins, manta rays, turtles and humpback whales, to the largest fish in the ocean - the gentle whale shark.

Venture into the deep blue between mid-March and late July and you can come face-to-fin with the gentle whale shark. The humpback whales aren’t far behind, bringing whale watching season to Exmouth from June to November. Then comes turtle nesting time (November to March).

Thevenard Islands The Thevenard Islands are located 22 kilometres off the Onslow coast. The surrounding reef system provides a valuable link for marine life between the Ningaloo Reef to the south and the Dampier Archipelago, Montebello Islands and Rowley Shoals to the north. This makes it an ideal site for diving and snorkelling.

If fishing is your thing then you’ll love the Thevenard Islands. The daily catch includes red emperor, spangled emperor, golden trevally, giant trevally and coral trout.

You can also try Onslow’s own fishing spots at the Groyne or Four Mile Creek.

9 Dampier Archipelago Just offshore are the famous Monte Bellow Islands, where the fishing and diving boast some of the best experiences on the coast and the islands are only a few hours steam from Dampier. The Montes has some interesting history where they tested a nuclear bomb back in the second world war, but all that is clear now and we just have the history to talk about.

Broome

The Kimberley

Broome has become one of the tourist mecca’s of Western Australia. As the entrance to the Broome you can explore Cable Beach, one of the most well-known beaches in Australia. Take a camel ride at Sunset on Cable Beach. Have a sunset meal at the Jetty restaurant featuring the famous Barramundy wings.

Take a drive out to Robuck Bay and James Price Point to see the true colours of the Kimberley. Cruise or fly to the Horizontal Water falls to see what happens when a 12m tide tries to flow between 2 narrow headlands.

The northernmost region of WA, consisting of steepsided mostly orange coloured mountain ranges, sandstone and lime gorges and steep ridges. The rugged sandstone landscape is home to 8 National Parks and excursions on land, via water or with helicopter. Two scenes are highlighted below.

Horizontal Falls

11

There are only two horizontal waterfalls on Earth, and you can look wide-eyed and open-mouthed upon both of them at Talbot Bay in the Buccaneer Archipelago of Australia’s North West. So, what makes the water fall sideways? These incredible natural wonders are the work of some of the largest tidal movements in the world. As the tide ebbs and flows, through two narrow cliff passages, creating a variation in ocean level of up to four metres and a unique waterfall effect.

Rowley Shoals

King George Falls

Visit Montgomery reef and see the majesty of a 600 square kilometre reef coming out of the water with the huge tide range. Take a sunset flight over Cable Beach.

The fishing, snorkelling and diving are out of this world at the remote and pristine Rowley Shoals Islands north of Broome. The islands are part of the Rowley Shoals Marine Park which sits on the edge of one of the widest continental shelves in the world.

Shallow lagoons harbour colourful coral, abundant marine life and even a shipwreck. Take a dive here and you’ll see untouched coral gardens, giant clams and other shellfish.

The majestic King George Falls are the highest waterfalls in Western Australia, plunging an impressive 80 metres – a truly staggering scene to behold. Travel to the mouth of the river, marvel at how millions of years of erosion have carved the deep gorge which embraces this river guiding it to the sea. Look down upon Kalama Bay, famed for its amazing WWII waters below for jabiru, turtles, crocodiles and dugongs. www.kimberleyaustralia.com

Rowley Shoals Islands are home to an incredible 233 species of coral, making it one of the best dive sites in Australia.

Professor Peter Veth

North Beach Road, Karrinyup, WA, 6018

Hard to do justice in a short description. A leading archaeologist at the University of Western Australia, has carried out research and management throughout Australia and beyond, engaging with marine themes and science for over 30 years including pioneering work on the marine heritage of Torres Strait, Dampier Archipelago, Barrow and Montebello Islands. Recent ARC projects include the Australian Historic Shipwreck Preservation Project www.ahspp.org.au; The Archaeology of the Aru Islands; and Murujuga: Dynamics of the Dreaming (Dampier Archipelago).

Research carried out on the Montebellos and Barrow Island has established the earliest evidence for coastal occupation at 50,000 years.

18 hole Golf course to the north of Perth City centre.

Designed by Alex Russell, the 1924 Australian Open Champion and business partner of legendary course designer Dr Alister MacKenzie, Lake Karrinyup was constructed in the main by sixty Italian labourers who withstood sand-flies in the scrub and leeches in the lake to fashion 18 holes out of some inhospitable territory.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • NORTHERN TERRITORY

Northern Territory

T

he Northern Territory is vast, extending from the centre of Australia’s map, near Uluru and the town of Alice Springs, to the coastal capital city of Darwin and its neighbouring islands.

Despite its geographical footprint, this is a territory rather than a state due to the small population, with just over 250,000 people – less than half that of Tasmania.

Strong indigenous cultures offer thriving art practices, ancient storytelling and deep spiritual tradition, while diverse national parks provide striking landscapes and call you to adventure.

The Outback is what defines the Northern Territory as one of the most unique environments on the planet. The vast ochre deserts, spectacular skies, surreal rocky outcrops and deep, snaking canyons of this sparse and iconic landscape reward visitors with an unforgettable Territory experience.

Darwin Darwin is Australia’s northern most capital city. More than 50 nationalities make up its population of just over 100,000, including its traditional landowners, the Larrakia Aboriginal people. With a rich and interesting history, Darwin's involvement in World War II is evident at the many preserved sites in and around the city. The tropical climate sets the scene for a variety of unique outdoor experiences and activities thanks to its balmy weather and the friendly, easy going attitude of locals. Darwin is also an excellent base from which to explore the internationally recognised World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, along with other unique natural attractions like Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi Islands and Arnhem Land.

Information on Darwin Port: www.darwinport.com.au/sites/default/files/uploads/2019/Darwin Port Handbook July 2019.pdf Arnhem Land Escape to one of Australia’s last true wilderness areas. Arnhem Land is one of the Top End’s most spectacular natural destinations. Beautiful scenery, rugged coastlines, remote islands, rivers teeming with fish, rainforest, towering escarpments and savannah woodland. Arnhem Land is a vast area occupying a large proportion of the Northern Territory’s Top End. It is bordered by Kakadu National Park, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. At 91,000 square km, Arnhem Land is bigger than many countries but is sparsely populated. Arnhem Land’s small population is predominantly made up of Aboriginal people (Yolgnu being the dominant group) whose traditional culture is largely intact. Aboriginal artists here are highly respected and many have an international following. Eastern Arnhem Land is the spiritual home of the didgeridoo, or yidaki, as the Yolngu refer to it. Arnhem Land is Aboriginal land and visitors require permits to enter. https://www.australia.com/en-gb/places/darwin-and-surrounds/guide-to-darwin.html Marine An agent is required to handle port entry into Darwin – see Pilotage section in the Northern Territories chapter on page 210 for further details.
