Luxury Yacht Charter Darwin
Yacht Charter in Darwin
The northern city of Darwin is one of the least well-known areas of Australia, arguably due to its distance from any other major attraction, but its coastline is stunning and there are plenty of excellent sailing opportunities. Darwin and the northern coast is also a good point from which to travel further north, to the islands of Indonesia, for example. Darwin itself boasts a beautiful natural harbour, and there are large swathes of stunning sandy beaches which stretch for mile upon mile in either direction.
