If the group chat has been calling for something a little more special than the usual lunch booking, The Jackson has two very good reasons to head into the city this spring and summer.
Sydney’s luxury superyacht is hosting two Saturday experiences on Sydney Harbour, with champagne, great food, live entertainment and three hours on the water. Choose between a long lunch with free-flowing Chandon or an afternoon of Veuve Clicquot, canapés and a DJ and sax duo.
The Chandon Bottomless Long Lunch is made for birthdays, celebrations, long-overdue catch-ups or simply an afternoon out with your favourite people.
The three-hour cruise includes chef-crafted canapés on arrival, fresh oysters served by a roaming oyster shucker and a generous three-course long lunch.
Drinks include bottomless Chandon NV and Chandon Garden Spritz, as well as Young Henrys beer, soft drinks and juices. There’s also live music throughout the afternoon and a Gelato Cart waiting on the back deck to finish things off.
