Sydney, by any measure, is a wonderfully exciting place to be. With a vibrant lifestyle coupled with an abundance of beautiful natural bays and waterways, it’s like no other place on earth. Those who live there have a close bond to the ocean which is present throughout much of the city.
Sydney Harbour is always a hive of activity. In 1999, the excitement was at another level. Firstly, there was the buzz from the expectation of a spectacular Millennium celebration and secondly, preparations were in full swing for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Sydney does like a good party and was well and truly on the world stage.
Fortunately, the Sydney Superyacht Marina was completed in time to welcome owners of superyachts to be join in the party. With the completion of the aptly named Millennium and Olympic Berths, it celebrated the arrival in December 1999 of its first Superyacht, 77-metre ‘Boadicea’.
