Sail Port Stephens
Spend the week yacht (and dolphin) spotting.
Overview
If it's a sailor's life for you, Sail Port Stephens is calling your name. The annual yachting regatta is held in the gorgeous waterways of Port Stephens Marine Park, where you'll sail on aquamarine water and, if you're lucky, maybe even spot a dolphin or three.
Races include the main Commodores Cup, as well as the NSW IRC Championships, Australian Sport Boat Nationals, Ports Stephens Trophy and, for the littlies, the Junior One-Sail Series.
The three days of sailing at the Commodores Cup will also culminate in The Beach Buoys Commodores Cup Ball, where sailors and their supporters will gather at Broughtons at the Bay at d'Albora Marinas in Nelson Bay to drink, dine and dance the night away. Outside of the ball, there's a detailed social schedule including the Women Who Sail Australia conference, a welcome celebration with bubbly courtesy of Wild Oats and the end-of-season 'Sallebration'.
