Sydney Harbour Splash

Following the tragic incident in the harbour off Vaucluse on Sunday 18 January, the organising committee for the Sydney Harbour Splash has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 event taking place next week on Monday 26 January.

This decision has been made following extensive consultation with NSW Police and experienced, senior harbour and waterways personnel, as well as our event partners. This cancellation is made out of deep respect for the young boy who was tragically attacked yesterday, and for his family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.

The Sydney Harbour Splash is a valued community event, and we respect the Sydney and Eastern Suburbs Community. We also acknowledge and thank the many first responders and waterways personnel who protect and patrol our harbour.

We’ll be in touch with registered participants via email with the next steps.

On behalf of the entire Sydney Harbour Splash family, we thank you for your continued support.
