Inaugural Sydney Superyacht Festival (SSYF) supported by Karigar Australia

The Inaugural Sydney Superyacht Festival  took place from 17 to 19th March 2023

This new marine-themed extravaganza, was set on Sydney Harbour, incorporated both land – based and marine- based events and was dream come true for superyacht owners and charterers, luxury boat owners and Sydneysiders who aspire to the luxury boating lifestyle.

The festival culminated in a luxury boat parade with a gala on water gathering in Rose Bay with views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge on Sunday the 19thof March.

The SSYF Gala Boat Parade included the luxury boats from 50 foot up to opulent Superyachts, making this festival an international drawcard with The Jackson Superyacht leading the parade. 

The flotilla included superyachts and large luxury boats, mustering off Vaucluse and forming a parade down the Sydney Harbour, passing under the Harbour Bridge then making their return to Rose Bay for the SSYF afterparty.

The Sydney Superyacht Festival event concept has been developed by Grant Dwyer along with Stephen Hennessy, who established Marine Lifestyles and organises bespoke Luxury Boat and Superyacht Charters and events.

Both Grant and Stephen are thankful to Sydney Hotelier Dr. Jerry Schwartz and passionate supporter of local tourism. Dr. Jerry Schwartz is incorporating the Sofitel, Sydney Darling Harbour, Sydney Brewery and Sydney Seaplanes in the festival.
