2026 Season Opener: Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race Spectator Vessel

The Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race fires the starting gun on the CYCA's offshore racing season, and there's no better seat in the house than on the water.

Join us aboard the luxury vessel Eclipse for a front-row view as the fleet powers off the start line on Saturday 25 July 2026.

Three hours on Sydney Harbour with a substantial selection of light canapés and an onboard cash bar.

Then it's straight back to the Clubhouse to keep the party going with live music from 1500hrs - 1800hrs, a pop-up signature cocktail bar, and food specials for Members and guests.
