One of the highlights of cruising in Pittwater and Broken Bay is the opportunity to go ashore and explore the stunning beaches, walking tracks, lookouts, Aboriginal art sites, streams and waterfalls in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.
Eco Sailing Cruises is the only company in NSW licensed to provide Yoga & Meditation classes, bird-watching, guided walking/bush-walking, wildlife observation and motorised boat tours in this National Park.
There are 11 walking tracks that we can access from the vessel Kick N Back. So take advantage of this unique opportunity to fully immerse yourself in this stunning natural setting.
Escape the stress of the city and reconnect with nature while sailing around Pittwater and Broken Bay on ‘Kick n Back and stay overnight in stunning, tranquil anchorages. This area is renowned for fabulous sailing conditions, sublime bays, stunning bushland and star-filled nights.
Come and have an adventure exploring one of the numerous walking tracks within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, some of which pass through rainforest, waterfalls and up to stunning lookouts.
Explore exquisite, secluded beaches ideal for swimming, paddle boarding, sea kayaking, fishing, snorkelling and photography. Try a 1 hour yoga class on the beach followed by meditation on the deck of ‘Kick n Back’ at sunset. A rigid hull/inflatable dinghy for 8 passengers is always available for safely accessing beaches.
Or simply kick back and relax with a good book, great music and a cold drink. You could rediscover your passions, have a unique adventure, explore your higher self and create the relationships you dreamed of.

The boat only operates in relatively sheltered waters and is very comfortable and stable. Unlike a yacht, this catamaran barely heels over and doesn’t rock uncomfortably from side to side, so seasickness is highly unlikely.
Life lines have recently been raised in height, so its much safer than ever before. In addition there are 4 fire extinguishers, an EPIRB, VHF Radio, Chartplotter, lifejackets for every person, two large life rafts, and an inflatable tender with Broken Bay/Pittater or in an outboard motor.
We will always operate within mobile phone range. If on the odd occasion, that we are out of range, say in the Whitsundays, there is a satellite phone on board. Please refer to information about Your Captain if you would like to know more.
