Ocean magazine – and counting! – in a lavish party at the Lagoon Lounge overlooking the newly completed superyacht marina.
Guests included yacht owners, VIPs, sponsors and clients who enjoyed a fabulous night indulging in Champagne and French wines, plus a whiskey tasting experience with Diageo Rare & Exceptional.

An afternoon on Sydney Harbour enjoying the luxe lifestyle is something many covet. So, when Melissa Hoyer was invited to spend a picture-perfect day on board the
30-metre Sunseeker charter yacht Chaos with exceptional company and extraordinary food, she says it was like hitting the jackpot.
Executive Chef Francesco Mannelli cooked up some delectable meals, including a scallop crudo with ponzu dressing, seaweed and finger lime followed by mezze maniche with local lobster and ‘nduja crumb.
Topping it all off, Adam Lau, Bar Manager at Grain Bar
Four Seasons Hotel Sydney served signature cocktails for all on board.

On 17 and 18 December 2021, the Ocean Club welcomed VIP guests on board the luxury motor yacht
Caviar for two incredible days of SailGP racing.
For the third time, SailGP lit up Sydney Harbour with some of the best sailing seen from the F50s, with high winds on the final day making for particularly exciting viewing.
Tom Slingsby and the Australian team won the Sydney event, opening up a two-point championship lead in front of their US rival for the finals in March 2022 in San Francisco.
Both afternoons, our guests enjoyed some of the most incredible experiences they’ve ever had out on the water, accompanied by exquisite Laurenti French Champagne and wine, gin and vodka from Wine and Only, as well as local beer from White Bay Beer. Naturally, drinks were served with the finest black caviar from Simon Johnson and the freshest oysters and prawns from Musumeci Seafoods.
On both days, over fifty guests enjoyed Sydney’s oldest but newest charter yacht,
Caviar. Built in 1955,
Caviar started life as an Australian minesweeper before being decommissioned. Many years later, she has been brought back to life by a passionate owner, determined for her to become one of Sydney’s most charming charter experiences.
“Inviting our Ocean Club guests on board Caviar, one of Australia’s most unique luxury charter yachts, for exceptional views of the F1 racing on the harbour was such a pleasure,” said Hillary Buckman, Managing Director of Ocean Media.
We would like to give special thanks to our valued Elite sponsors
Benetti Yachts, Pantaenius Yacht Insurance, Tourism Australia and
ACME Quality Marine Clothing, together with our Ocean Partners
White Bay Beer, Cotswold InOut Furniture, Analu Luxury Italian Interiors and
Laurenti Champagne.
The Ocean Club tender service was supplied by
Windcraft’s new RYCK tender, and our stunning 1955 luxury charter motor yacht
Caviar and her exceptional crew offered us the best platform to view the racing on Sydney Harbour – you simply can’t get any closer to the action!
Ocean Media was again proud to be appointed an Official Supplier by SailGP for the third year.

Following more than 42 years of evolution and with more than 5,800 yachts launched, the 78 motor yacht design represents a new era for Riviera.
Riviera owners and VIPs enjoyed an exclusive preview at
Marina Mirage on the Gold Coast a week before the official launch.
As guests enjoyed sunset cocktails, the titanium-coloured yacht arrived. The song Firework played as she docked, then guests were invited to step on board for their first view.
She was designed at Riviera’s Gold Coast headquarters by a team of designers, engineers and craftspeople with superyacht designer Luca Vallebona.
