Hobart Yachts is a Hobart, Tasmania-based charter company offering curated sailing experiences on the River Derwent and nearby waters.
The business features a Twilight Dinner Cruise that combines evening sailing with a meal of Tasmanian cuisine and local wines and beers in a sheltered bay, delivering harbour and mountain views. For longer adventures, Hobart Yachts operates a Bruny Island Experience: an eight-hour skippered yacht charter aboard a luxurious 62-foot ocean racer. That trip follows sections of the iconic Sydney to Hobart race route and includes sailing activities, fishing, swimming, snorkeling, and Tasmanian food and beverages. Hobart Yachts also lists a Hobart Sailing Experience for guests seeking additional time on the water in Hobart harbour.
The company presents vessels suited to coastal sailing and race-route passages, including the 62-foot ocean racer used on the Bruny Island Experience. Trips are described with a skippered format for the Bruny charter and with meal and beverage inclusions for the Twilight Dinner Cruise. Hobart Yachts is featured on The Adventure Collective, where the operator is presented alongside curated Tasmanian adventure options.
Text and trip listings focus on accurate logistics: departure from Hobart harbour, sailing on the River Derwent, and visits toward Bruny Island where applicable. Prospective guests should consult the operator or The Adventure Collective listing for booking details, availability, and any specific safety or accessibility information prior to travel. Detailed itineraries, departure times, pricing and booking terms are available through the Hobart Yachts listing on The Adventure Collective and from the operator directly online.
