Great Cruise
We thoroughly enjoyed this harbor cruise, and the informative commentary. There was plenty of room for many of us on the very top deck to get great views, and for those who preferred to be below or inside, there was availability as well. The tour went around the harbor, under the bridge, covering a large area on both sides.
Prices were competitive; the boat left on time, and the crew was friendly.

Worth it!
Surprisingly good food - arguably too much, we were stuffed at the end (we had the four course meal). Very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely views and we personally enjoyed seeing Sydney in lights after the sun went down more than the sunset itself. Great experience, would do again.

Amazing evening on the harbor
This sunset cruise was a highlight of our trip and everything we hoped it would be! Pickup was prompt and easy to locate, and the group size is small enough that you have what feels like a totally personal experience. You're able to bring you own wine and they provide cups and snacks. The boat has both indoor and outdoor options but we were able to sit outside for the duration of the trip and see all the sights from a new perspective. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a special Sydney excursion!

Great Tall Ship sailing experience would recommend
We actually ended up on the dinner cruise as a result of not enough people wanting to go on the lunch cruise.
Actually turned out to be a blessing, what a lovely time to sail through the harbour as the city starts to light up for the evening. The beginning of the sunset was beautiful behind the bridge too.
The crew were all brilliant, and our host Howard was very friendly and approachable with lots of knowledge and interesting facts. The food was plentiful and tasty, and we enjoyed it along with a beer we bought from the bar.
I actually took up the added extra option of climbing up to the crows nest. What a great view from up there and well worth the experience in my opinion.
All in all a great cruise, and the ship was a really good alternative to the usual motor cruisers and an experience we really enjoyed.
I would recommend this cruise, it was good value for money and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Outstanding Private Harbour Experience
This private boat tour was a highlight of our time in Sydney. The harbour views were spectacular, and the small group size allowed the captain to provide personalized commentary and share deep knowledge of the area. A wonderful way to experience Sydney from the water — highly recommend.

Relaxing harbour experience
This cruise was a relaxing tour around the Sydney harbor with a nice charcuterie board. The 2 included drinks were perfect for hanging around with two friends and seeing the sights. You get nice and close to the opera house and gutpinch island. Ultimately, if youre looking for a relaxing evening with a nice little cruise, this is perfect.

The tour was beautiful...
The tour was beautiful and we really covered a lot of ground. Unfortunately our pickup spot changed the day of the tour and since I was out of the country didn't have access to Wifi and wasn't informed of the change in location to meet the boat until we had already arrived and didn't see the boat. We were then told it was a "3 minute walk" to the new pickup location, which turned into an almost 20-30 minute walk because I had older folks with me who really had a hard time walking that distance due to hip, knee and lung problems. It would have been nice to get a call or text message to update us on the change. That said, once we finally made it there it was a lovely evening, beautiful views, and the snacks/drinks were a nice touch.

Tall Ship Adventure
This was a highly enjoyable trip. Jim, our guide, was very informative and engaging. He also encouraged participation with the ropes and was entertaining. Key information regarding safety was clear and reassuring. Overall, we would highly recommend this adventure.

Not to be missed!
One of the best days out in Sydney!! From beginning to end everything was so well thought out. David was able to keep us informed and entertained, fed and watered throughout the experience. Highly recommended for locals and visitors. The swim was an added bonus on a beautiful spring day. Our 5 hours passed in a flash.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Sydney is one of the most well-known harbors, with the iconic Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House taking center stage. A perfect way to explore the harbor is by taking one of many Sydney day cruises. There are private and group options, tall ship and ferry choices, and those that include lunch, cocktails, or both. Head out from Circular Quay and ensure your cameras are charged for beautiful harbor shots.
