This exclusive four-hour yacht charter promises unmatched freedom to explore the picturesque coastline, making it a standout option for adventurous travelers familiar with the area or seeking a private, intimate maritime getaway.
Somers itself is a modest coastal town known for its peaceful beaches and access to the pristine waters of Western Port Bay. The 004 HaHa + Spinnaker yacht elevates this serene locale into an adventure playground, delivering the unique experience of handling a 2-person boat equipped with a spinnaker — a large, sail designed for speed and agility in downwind conditions.

What distinguishes this charter is the sheer autonomy it offers. Unlike scheduled tours, guests can plot their own course, linger at secluded coves, or simply soak in the panorama of the rugged coastline and sparkling water.

The Mornington Peninsula’s mild climate ensures excellent sailing conditions through most months, with clear skies and gentle breezes perfect for this unique charter.
