Get ready to step aboard and set sail. The Pittwater Sail Expo 2025 is this weekend, from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 October at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC).

As Australia's largest sailing boat show, the Expo is the ultimate destination for sailors, cruisers and anyone dreaming of life on the water. With free entry and over 35 yachts and catamarans from leading brands on display, the event brings together the best of the sailing world in one spectacular location.

Visitors can explore a wide selection of monohulls, multihulls, cruising yachts, performance models and share yacht options. From luxury bluewater cruisers to responsive racing yachts, there is something for every kind of sailor. It is a rare opportunity to compare new models side by side, speak directly with the experts, and find the right yacht to suit every style of sailing.

With summer just around the corner, the Expo is perfectly timed for those looking to get on the water. Many of the yachts on display are available for immediate purchase, making it easy to start planning a new season of adventures around Australia or beyond.

Alongside the on-water displays, visitors can enjoy a lively shoreside precinct featuring marine service providers, rigging and sailmaking experts, engine specialists, and chandlery suppliers. Great food, entertainment and hospitality will add to the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that the Pittwater Sail Expo is known for.

The Pittwater Sail Expo 2025 runs:

  • Friday 24 October, 12-4pm
  • Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October, 10am-4pm

Entry and parking are free.
