The exclusive two-night stay gives bookers VIP access to the bustling new Sydney Fish Market, to then enjoy a seafood feast aboard a classic yacht on Sydney Harbour, led by Australian culinary icon Peter Gilmore.
The only catch is there’s just one ticket available, meaning this is only available for one lucky person and their guest.
The experience will begin with a private, behind-the-scenes visit to the all-new Sydney Fish Market led by Peter himself.
Recognised by TIME as one of the World’s Greatest Places to travel for 2026, guests select the morning’s catch and learn how responsible sourcing supports the market’s operations.
From market to menu, the experience then moves onto the water aboard their own private houseboat — the classic 72-foot yacht Sir Thomas Sopwith.
The beautiful vessel, bookable on Booking.com, offers a unique stay on Sydney Harbour, featuring comfortable onboard accommodation with private cabins, bathrooms and shower facilities, plus a spacious saloon and full galley kitchen where guests can prepare and enjoy their freshly sourced seafood.
With generous deck space for dining and taking in harbour views, the accommodation combines the charm of traditional sailing with the comforts of a modern stay.
Once on board, Peter will lead a refined cooking session celebrating thoughtful fin‑to‑tail techniques, before serving a five‑course lunch on deck against the backdrop of Sydney’s sweeping harbour skyline.
The lucky bookers can expect to savour a sampling of some of the finest seasonal picks, from Sydney Rock Oysters, half shell scallops with XO sauce, and yellow fin tuna sashimi, all crafted and curated by Peter.
After lunch, guests will unwind as their dedicated skipper takes them exploring across the harbour, before settling in for two peaceful nights on the boat moored safely at Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont.
“As a chef, I’ve always believed the best way to understand a place is through its markets — it’s where a destination’s true flavours live,” Peter said.
“Showcasing my home city at the new Sydney Fish Market is something I’m genuinely excited about. After so many years at Bennelong and Quay, I’ve spent countless hours choosing seafood and learning what makes each species special, so sharing that process firsthand feels incredibly personal.
“To then take those ingredients onto the harbour and create a completely bespoke meal aboard the Booking.com Seafood Sail is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience and a true expression of Sydney’s seafood scene.”
The ‘Booking.com Seafood Sail’ will be listed as a two-night stay on Sydney Harbour and will be bookable on a first-come, first-served basis on the 10th April at 12pm AEST for one Booking.com Genius traveller and one guest.
The Seafood Sail will cost $19.74 — a symbolic price that nods to the year the boat was built.
The way to secure the exclusive experience is to be the first to book it. You’ll need to be a Booking.com Genius Traveller.
