Eyachts Boating Community in Australia: The First Eyachts Owners Event

An Offshore Boating Adventure: A Showcase of Offshore Performance in Sydney

The event’s spirit of adventure was on full display as half of the Axopar and Pardo fleet gathered on Sydney Harbour to take on the challenging offshore journey; the boats all confidently handled the rough 2-3-meter swells, demonstrating just how capable these vessels are. This thrilling voyage was a true testament to the offshore performance of Axopar and Pardo boats, demonstrating their rugged build and hull design. Even the smaller vessels in the fleet, the smallest at just 22 feet, tackled the swells with confidence, proving that these boats were equally at home on the open sea as well as serene bays.

One participant described the experience as, “The idea of being in convoy for our first offshore adventure was a great attraction to us. A real confidence builder!”

Another participant summed it up perfectly: “The waves were no joke, but the boats handled it like pros. There’s nothing like tackling those conditions and knowing your boat’s got your back!”

A Stunning Sight at Barrenjoey Heads

As the offshore group reached Barrenjoey Heads, they met up with the rest of the fleet, and all 28 boats then sped down the Hawkesbury together. It was a breathtaking sight – a whole flotilla moving together, creating an energy that everyone could feel with many noting the thrill of seeing so many boats together.

One owner remarked, “The convoy was one of the most exciting and crazy things I’ve ever been in with our little Axopar 22!”

A Luxury Welcome to Peats Bite

Arriving at Peats Bite felt like stepping onto a tropical island, with its lush scenery and secluded ambiance making it an ideal venue for this exclusive gathering. Each guest was warmly welcomed with refreshing chilled towels and a tropical cocktail – setting the tone for a relaxed afternoon ahead.

As guests settled in, they mingled over delicious canapés and drinks, getting to know one another and soaking up the ambience. Live music added a soulful touch to the atmosphere, as guests relaxed with their loved ones, taking in the views, sharing laughs, and creating memories.

Parents enjoyed mingling while kids dove into a range of fun activities, racing remote-controlled speedboats and playing with Jobe toys in the pool. These shared moments created a sense of community that went beyond just boating.

For one owner, Peats Bite was on their bucket list, remarking, “I’ve been wanting to go for a long time, and it is beautiful. I love it.”

For a regular of the restaurant and resort, “I love Peats Bite, it’s fantastic. It’s. a great destination for boating. It’s a great way to use our boats and meet with everyone.”

A Surprise Entrance: The Candela Foiling Boat

The energy picked up a notch when a Candela electric foiling boat made a surprise appearance. The quiet yet powerful boat glided above the water, drawing stares and admiration. Peter Hrones’ other venture, Carbon Yachts, had brought a taste of futuristic cutting-edge technology to the event. Some lucky attendees even had a chance to test drive it, with one saying, “It felt like a glimpse into the future of boating – silent, smooth, and surprisingly fast.”

A Moment of Gratitude and Milestone Celebrations

As the day continued, Peter Hrones, Managing Director of Eyachts, took a moment to thank everyone for their support. With close to 300 boats now on Australian waters, Peter highlighted how the passion and support of owners have been key to Eyachts’ success. With repeat sales making up 75% of the company’s growth, the commitment and enthusiasm of this community has been instrumental.

Adding to the occasion, Axopar co-founder Jan-Erik Viitala made a virtual appearance to share his appreciation for the Australian community. His message resonated with everyone, sparking even more excitement about being part of the Eyachts family.

Partner Prizes and a Divine Dining

In the spirit of celebration, Eyachts’ generous partners, Jobe Watersports and Sail Racing, held a lucky door prize giveaway. Guests had the chance to win a high-quality inflatable kayak from Jobe and a wet weather jacket from Sail Racing. The lucky winners were thrilled with their new gear, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day.

As the afternoon went on, everyone gathered for a delicious, multi-course dinner. The meal was raved about, with one guest saying, “This is one of the best meal I’ve had in a long time – the flavours, the presentation, everything was divine.” Another guest shared, “Peats Bite served up not just a meal but an experience; the food was simply out of this world.”

New Models

Throughout the day, guests had the chance to view the latest models up close, including the Axopar 29, Axopar 45, and the impressive Pardo 50. It was an exciting opportunity for guests to see these boats, as well as other owners boats firsthand, compare notes with fellow owners, and discuss future upgrades or dream builds.

Embracing the Eyachts Boating Community in Australia

This first-ever Eyachts Owners Event was more than just a gathering – it was a celebration of the incredible boating community in Australia, an adventurous day on the water, and a testament to the superior performance and design of Axopar and Pardo boats. From challenging offshore conditions to tranquil moments on the Hawkesbury River, every part of the day highlighted the unique joys of owning a boat designed by these world-class brands.

As one owner summed it up, “It was an unforgettable experience. The friendships, the stories, the adventure – it was everything I love about the Eyachts community and more.”

Another guest stated, “I rocked up to the venue and thought, I could live here. It’s like paradise on the edge of the water. Seeing all these boats and meeting all these lovely people, what a day, you wouldn’t want to miss out if there was another one coming again soon.”

This sense of shared excitement and camaraderie will undoubtedly carry forward as Eyachts continues to grow and bring together boat lovers across Australia.
