As someone who never booked a boat before, I was amazed the simplicity of the process. Emma at fleet space was more than happy to answer any of my questions and assist! The crew of the Zabava were awesome and friendly and were more than happy to moor for us to have a swim. Would 100% go again!.

Zabava is ideal for smaller groups of up to 20. With a nice open cockpit and large windows surrounding, you can easily see the sights as you sail around the harbour in luxury. The Skipper and Crew are always close by to help you at any time, and there’s ample weather protection if needed. You might prefer to go up to the forward deck to enjoy sun baking on the trampolines or just sit and enjoy a glass of champagne as you watch Sydney Harbour glide past.
The Seawind 1000 features a centrally located BBQ for easy and affordable onboard catering with large eskies close by to keep your drinks cold. There is also a modern stereo system with Bluetooth connectivity to your phone for your own playlist, with speakers both in the cockpit and the forward deck.
If it’s hot you might like to swim off the back steps – there’s a swim ladder ready to go, and a cold fresh-water shower to rinse off the salt water afterwards.
