The bow parts glassy water as you leave Palm Beach Wharf; wind finds the sails and the coast slides into a calmer scale of blue. On a three-hour private skippered charter you can lean into the forward rail, help trim a sheet, or simply stretch out on the foredeck while the yacht carves a route through Pittwater toward Barrenjoey Headland and Ku-ring-gai Chase.
