WITNESS THE START IN SYDNEY
From Private Vessels
Sydney Harbour is abuzz with activity on Boxing Day, hosting a spectacular display of boats. Private spectator vessels can enjoy the action from outside the exclusion zone but must remain cautious of their wake to avoid disrupting competing yachts.
If you’re only watching the start and won’t follow the fleet, position yourself on the western side of the harbour. Great vantage points for spectator boats include:
- Western side: Taylors Bay, Chowder Bay, Obelisk Bay, and North Head.
- Eastern side: Rose Bay, Nielsen Park, Watsons Bay, Camp Cove, and South Head.
From the Official Spectator Vessel
The official Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race spectator vessel, The Jackson, is a luxury superyacht offering unmatched views of the start. As the only spectator vessel permitted inside the exclusion zone, it brings you closer to the action than any other option. Scan the QR code below for ticket details.

• North Head
• Christison Park (Vaulcluse)
