(SeaPRwire) –   Booking.com and Peter Gilmore have launched The Seafood Sail – a two-night bookable yacht experience in partnership with the Sydney Fish Market

SYDNEY, March 24, 2026 — Booking.com is inviting travellers to swap crowded tourist spots for calm, peaceful seas with the Booking.com Seafood Sail. This exclusive two-night stay grants bookers VIP access to the bustling new Sydney Fish Market, before guests enjoy a lavish seafood feast aboard a classic yacht on Sydney Harbour, led by Australian culinary icon Peter Gilmore.

Booking.com’s Taste of Home Report* highlights how culinary travel is shaping the way Aussies choose to stay in homes and alternative accommodations. One emerging trend, dubbed ‘Trolley Tourism’,, sees travellers seeking out food markets and beloved local supermarkets to shop just like locals while travelling. In fact, 88% of Aussie travellers say they partake in this, with 1 in 4 Aussie travellers (28%) also prioritizing seafood as the first meal they want to enjoy when staying in holiday homes or unique accommodations. 

Bringing these travel trends to life in one of Australia’s most iconic destinations, The Booking.com Seafood Sail kicks off with a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the new Sydney Fish Market. Guided by Peter, guests will select that morning’s fresh catch and learn about this new tourism landmark.

From market to menu, the experience then moves out onto the water aboard their own private houseboat – the classic 72-foot yacht Sir Thomas Sopwith. Once on board, Peter will lead an expert cooking session celebrating thoughtful fin-to-tail cooking techniques, before serving a five-course lunch on the deck against the sweeping backdrop of Sydney’s harbour skyline.

Todd Lacey, Regional Manager, Oceania and Korea, Booking.com, said:

“Unique stays and the food we eat are critical to fully experiencing and savoring everything the world has to offer. Our Booking.com Taste of Home research reveals the rise of ‘Trolley Tourism’, as travellers are increasingly seeking authentic food-focused experiences when booking homes, apartments and other alternative accommodations. Local markets, particularly the new Sydney Fish Market, aren’t just a quick stop on a travel itinerary anymore; they’re becoming the destination itself.”

The Booking.comSeafood Sail will be listed as a two-night stay on Sydney Harbour and will be bookable on a first-come, first-served basis on the 10th April at 12pm AEST for one Booking.com Genius traveller and one guest.  The Seafood Sail will cost $19.74 – a nod to the year the boat was built.
