Nudist city cruise slammed as ‘disrespectful’ – but the founder has hit back

A naked cruise that seeks to encourage body positivity set sail round Sydney Harbour recently – but caused some major backlash.

The boating adventure, created by Get Naked Australia, hopes to promote naturism and getting nude while surrounded by nature.

However, the nudist cruise attracted plenty of attention – and not all of it was positive.

Some labelled the butt-baring display as an act of freedom and a bit of fun.

One person said on Instagram: “Long live nudity!”

While another commented that it showed “freedom and friendship” and a third giggled: “Wish I lived in Australia!”

Those taking part in the cruise were encouraged to “Sail, swim, sunbake, dance, drink and discover.”

But others said those involved were “crazy” and had “no shame”.
