How often have you gazed across Pittwater and seen a yacht pushing through the water assisted by a gentle sea breeze and thought: “I wish I was doing that!” Or, around dusk, perhaps seen a yacht moored offshore with the lights on, its occupants preparing for a relaxing overnight stay?
Now you can put yourself in the picture: Taylor Made Getaways and Pittwater Life are offering readers the chance to win a 2-hour skippered sail, followed by an overnight stay on one of Taylor Made Getaways’ luxurious French Beneteau Yachts and an on-board feast – total value $899. Taylor Made Escapes is a family owned and registered operation located at Palm Beach. They have been operating Yacht Charters and Overnight Stays since 2010 and have recently been featured on Channel Seven’s Sydney Weekender show as one of the most unique and affordable accommodation options on the water (with children under 12 free!). Run by Mark, Lynne and Paul Taylor, Taylor Made Escapes prides itself on family values, flexible and innovative customer service and personal attention to detail on every escape. “Our aim is to provide a unique, enjoyable, unforgettable yacht stay or skippered cruise or sail, offering some true Australian hospitality,” said Lynne. Taylor Made Escapes were recently chosen to provide luxury yacht charters and romantic cruises for guests staying at world-famous Jonah’s. “We are now part of a team who provide local activities to showcase the tranquillity, unique and picturesque scenery of the Northern Beaches,” said Lynne. The winning couple will be treated to a two-hour afternoon sail, with your skipper showing you the highlights of Pittwater’s scenic bays and beaches, before you’re moored in a calm cove and left to enjoy a sumptuous gourmet platter full of delicious seafood or meat, seasonal fruits and cheese. You will love the novelty of sleeping on water in one of the stylish, comfy cabins. The yachts also have a spacious saloon, bathroom and a large cockpit that’s perfect for dining. (Goggles, snorkling gear, fishing rods, bed linen and cutlery provided.) Taylor Made Escape’s Beneteaus can also be hired for special events such as wedding proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and Easter celebrations, and as a ‘Work Team Building’ venue. Gift Vouchers are available. As the Taylor Made Escapes team says: “A boat is only as good as the laughter that comes from it!” For more information about Taylor Made Escapes’ services phone Lynne on 0417 270 596 or visit www.taylormadeesacepes.com.au THE PRIZE: 2-hour skippered sail for 2 on Pittwater; Overnight stay for 2; Seafood or Meat platter with fruits and cheese Total value – $899
