Top Sydney Sunset Cruises

This is a great overview of Sydney Harbour and 2 1/2 hours is really quite a perfect amount of time to do it. The guide is knowledgeable, but he does not flood you with facts and figures. He speaks from his own perspective as a native of Sydney. The boat was comfortable and clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

They provide clear instructions on where to meet. When you board the boat, you get served your meal right away. The food is okay. My cruise had live music, one person playing the piano and one person singing. After the meal, you are free to roam around the boat, and you can go to the top level open air deck for incredible views.

If I could give a rating of more than 5 stars, I would! What a wonderful experience. On the surface, the weather was a little downer with cloudiness and rain, a little chilly on the temperature side, and no visualization of the sunset…..who knew that the weather changes that quickly in Sydney! Now for the silver lining and sunshine part of the trip. The food and drinks were excellent, the ship was spacious and clean, and the vibrant attitude and service provided was top notch. This particular crew and captain went above and beyond for my family and we deeply appreciated the effort. I was with my family—2 grandparents, me and my wife, and our 3 young adult kids. We were doing tours of Melbourne, Port Douglas, and Sydney as a vacation to visit our son doing a study abroad semester. This is important as the 6 of us were staying in a local hotel and travelled together to the harbor with our son staying in his school apartment. We had gone out during the morning to the Sydney Fish Market, Chinatown, and shopping for souvenirs in the morning and our son wanted an afternoon nap. Our departure time was 510pm and he set 4 alarms for 4………(am) on accident. At 450 he was still in bed, and at 510 was stuck in an Uber in traffic. The captain delayed departure for 20 min and then we had to depart. Our family was sad to have our son miss our last dinner before returning to the U.S. While seated at our table, the captain came to me to see if our son could make it to the dock in the next 15 minutes. The answer was yes and we were able to return to the dock and pick him up. I relayed the story to the other diners and our son received a standing ovation after being picked up. There is nothing better than this kind of customer support and appreciation of the circumstance. Hands down, this was our favorite memory of the 2 week stay in Australia. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
