On the water
The boats are easy-driving floating apartments with barbecues and back decks, and no licence is required — training is part of the handover. Within an hour of the marina you can be anchored somewhere with no road, no houses and phone bars fading pleasantly.
Around Brooklyn
You are cruising the waters of Ku-ring-gai Chase and Marramarra national parks — waterfall coves, beaches and fish-and-chip stops at Patonga — one of the best escapes near Sydney, with Brooklyn barely an hour from the CBD by car or train.
