A group of unashamed Aussies stripped nude on a yacht in Sydney Harbour while stunned beachgoers reached for their phones.

It’s understood the naked sea-men and women – seen revelling as nature intended with drinks in hand – were sailing on the harbour during an organised naked cruise earlier this week.
A hilarious clip shows more than a dozen people wearing only sunglasses and hats dancing on the deck, while waving at the people who were filming the bizarre spectacle. The captain remained fully clothed, but still joined in the fun by honking his horn at spectators as his madcap crew boogied away.

“Look at those two,” someone filming the boat says, indicating to two women dancing on deck. In New South Wales, Australia, the maximum penalty for obscene exposure in a public place is six months in jail, while offenders may also face a fine or a community service order.
Public nudity is not prohibited if it occurs at a “clothing optional” beach. Accoridng to News.Au, New South Wales has five beaches that are intended for the purposes of nude bathing.

“It’s fantastic to see people living and enjoying their lives the way God intended, naked and unashamed,” said one person, praising the free-spirited cruisers.

Why not – if that’s what floats their boat?” quipped someone else. “How gorgeous,” said someone else.

But not everyone thought the boat of breasts was an appealing prospect. “Disgusting, but that’s Aussies!” said one person. “What’s wrong with them?” someone else asked.

The naked cruise had initially been mistakenly identified online by some who believed it was associated with Get Naked Australia, a well-known nude cruise, which has been “pioneering” the nudity cruise industry for years.

But Brendan Jones, founder of Get Naked, debunked these claims: “It’s a copycat,” Mr Jones told news.com.au. “These guys are trying to run their own cruises, probably off the back of the success we’ve achieved or targeting an older demographic”.

He added: “They are a group of regulars from Cobblers Beach,” he said, referring to the nudist beach in Mosman. I can’t vouch for their behaviour as I don’t know them. I just know they’re an older bunch than our typical demographic. We try to keep our cruises in the 20-40 age bracket.”
