Sydney to Gold Coast Boat Delivery – Part 1: Sydney to Port Stephens (Ep.59) | Sailing ARGO

This is Part 1 of our 463nm (82hr) Sydney to Gold Coast catamaran delivery.

When our good mate Jim asked us to help deliver his new catamaran, Pirate Pete, from Sydney to the Gold Coast, we didn’t hesitate.

None of us had sailed this stretch of coastline before, so it was the perfect opportunity to level up – new waters, proper offshore miles, night sailing practice and a chance to explore more of the NSW coast.

We departed from Sydney Harbour, cruised under the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and gave a nod to the Opera House, then slipped through the Sydney Heads to our first stop in Pittwater for a short sojourn. From there, it was a 121 nautical mile leg to Port Stephens before setting off on the long 342nm stretch north to the Gold Coast.

In total the trip was 463 nautical miles over 82 hours at sea.

There’s something about pushing into unfamiliar waters that sharpens you. Long night watches. Coastal traffic. Weather windows. Fatigue. Teamwork. And that quiet satisfaction of helping a mate bring his new boat home.

This one tested us – and taught us plenty.

Thanks for watching.
