Sunset Sail aboard the James Craig — with Fred Watson & Friends
Step back in time and experience Sydney Harbour from the deck of one of the world’s most beautiful historic tall ships. Join astronomer Fred Watson and friends for a truly special sunset sail aboard the James Craig, as the city skyline glows and day fades into dusk.
This unforgettable experience combines maritime heritage, harbour magic and inspiring conversation, offering a rare opportunity to sail on a fully restored 19th-century barque while enjoying the atmosphere of Dark Sky Week.
As the sails are raised and the harbour breeze settles in, guests can relax on deck, take in iconic views, and share in the stories of navigation, exploration and the skies that guided sailors for centuries.
