Hobart Stay and Sail

Base yourself in the heart of Hobart and stay onboard.

We often get asked if we would hire out our yachts for accommodation, especially during periods where accommodation in the city is hard to find; like the Sydney to Hobart Race and the Wooden Boat Festival.  Staying in King's Pier Marina during these times is about as awesome as it gets for boat enthusiasts, The marina is where the competitors and participants in these events are located and the centre for all the dockside festivities.  We've decided to offer this unique Hobart experience as one of our products.  

By hiring Helsal IV as a private charter for a minimum of 2 nights you get to stay in King's Pier Marina in the heart of Hobart with the exclusive use of the yacht for sailing up to 3 hours per day for the length of your stay.  You will have the yacht to yourself for accommodation and a professional skipper and crew will take you sailing.   

Here is what you get:

  • The ULTIMATE waterfront accommodation

  • Two double-bed cabins with ensuites and a double bunk cabin

  • Full use of our galley for any meals you would like to cook onboard

  • Within walking distance of all the best restaurants and bars in Hobart

  • Secure access to the marina and facilities

  • Three hours of private sailing everyday of your stay (you can accumulate these and take them all at once if you like)

  • 24 hour helpline

  • Any number of upgrades are available on request (e.g. cooked breakfast onboard each morning)
