Charter a day unlike any other aboard Cavatina, a stylish Dufour 412 Grand Large that blends European performance with laid-back luxury. With space for up to 12 guests, this yacht is the ideal platform for a skippered escape across Sydney’s world-famous harbour—no sailing experience needed, no itinerary required.

Offering one of the most comfortable skippered yacht charters in Sydney, Cavatina is purpose-built for groups looking to spend a day reconnecting, celebrating, or simply enjoying life on the water. From corporate groups to close friends and family, guests are free to relax while a professional skipper takes care of every detail—from casting off to dropping anchor.

Designed for day cruising, Cavatina features a wide, open cockpit shaded by a bimini for all-day comfort. The central table invites casual drinks or shared meals, while the twin helms give the skipper full control without interrupting guest space. Down at the stern, the electric swim platform makes it easy to dive in or launch a paddleboard in one of Sydney’s many quiet coves.

Step below deck and you’ll find an airy interior with three private cabins, two bathrooms, a full galley, and a generous saloon. The layout is modern and functional—perfect for cooling off, preparing snacks, or sneaking away for a moment of quiet during the day.

As you sail past the Opera House, slip beneath the Harbour Bridge, or anchor in a peaceful bay with views of the city skyline, your skipper will adjust the pace and route based on the conditions and your preferences. It’s a completely customisable day, designed around your comfort and enjoyment.

Cavatina performs just as beautifully as she looks. The Dufour 412 features a self-tacking headsail and balanced mainsail setup, offering smooth and stable cruising while your skipper ensures everything runs seamlessly. Whether you’re gliding across the open harbour or pausing for a swim in a hidden inlet, the sailing experience is as memorable as the views.

Proudly operated by Sailcorp, Cavatina is part of a trusted fleet dedicated to offering premium skippered yacht charters across Sydney. With her elegant lines, practical design, and warm, welcoming vibe, Cavatina is your front-row seat to the best of sailing Sydney.
