Join YSA for our end of 2026 celebration: a tug tour of Sydney Harbour followed by drinks and nibbles at the pub!

Hosted by Svitzer, YSA are lucky to board and learn about some of the hardest working vessels in Sydney Harbour during one of their busiest periods of the year. Learn about the work done by Svitzer’s tugs in Sydney Harbour, including how that role changes throughout the year as Sydney sees an increase in visiting cruise ships and other special vessels.

Following the tug tour, we will be taking a short walk from Svitzer’s offices to the East Village Balmain, where you can catch up with old friends and new over drinks and nibbles.

Due to safety reasons, we are limited to only 20 spaces on the tugs. Can’t make the tug tour? Don’t worry, we have separate, cheaper tickets for those who can only join us for drinks and nibbles at the pub from 3:30pm onwards.
