Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2026 | Official Spectator Vessel "The Jackson"

Step aboard The Jackson, Sydney's most luxurious charter superyacht — and the only public spectator vessel positioned inside the Exclusion Zone for the start of the Hobart.

From the Main Deck, you'll get 360-degree, front-row views as the fleet jostles for position on Sydney Harbour's iconic start line. Hear the 10-minute, 5-minute, and start cannons fire. Watch the fleet surge for open water, close enough to feel it.

The Main Deck itself is built for the occasion: floor-to-ceiling windows, a dedicated bar, premium quality furnishings throughout, direct access to the front outdoor deck, and rear deck, where you can watch the fleet disappear toward the Heads with a drink in hand.

Official 2026 Rolex Sydney Hobart merchandise available on board.
