Farm Cove

Drop anchor in one of the most iconic spots in the world — Farm Cove sits right between the Sydney Opera House and Mrs Macquarie's Chair, with the Harbour Bridge framing the skyline. It's an easy anchorage, though expect ferry wakes keeping things lively until around midnight. The location more than makes up for it, and if you're here for New Year's Eve, you're essentially at the centre of the universe for fireworks.
