Capture the drama of the Sydney to Hobart finale — as we sail into Tasmania’s wild south-east
This unique photography journey coincides with one of Australia’s most iconic sporting moments — the thrilling finish of the legendary Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race in southern Tasmania.
As we step aboard a luxury ocean racer and transition into an unforgettable coastal expedition along the raw, untamed cliffs of the Tasman Peninsula.
Over 3 days and 2 nights, you’ll experience a rare combination of world-class yacht racing energy and remote landscape photography — all from the best vantage point possible: the sea.
With only four guests onboard, this is an intimate, high-access experience designed for serious photographers and adventurers alike.
