    A fantastic way to experience Sydney Harbour and a Tall Ship!!!

    Angharad_L, Sep 2025
    A great way to experience Sydney Harbour and a Tall Ship! Saw all the sights, helped crew with the sails and climbed the mast! This a good way to dip your toe in and find your sea legs! Lovely canape and wine evening cruise followed by a night aboard. Canapes make for a light supper so bring snacks if you need something more substantial. Unfortunately our bedding was wet when we retired but crew helped to replace it all all before heading to bed. Sleeping aboard is definitely an experience. You'll have to decide if it's for you. However it was amazing to wake up on the harbour! Fantastic and substantial breakfast buffet was supplied (bacon, eggs, tomatos, mushrooms, Turkish rolls, cereal, muesli, fruit, yoghurt, tea, coffee and got chocolate). We then enjoyed a beautiful morning walk around Goat Island with a knowledgeable guide who took us through it's history from the first fleet. There's exceptional views of Sydney Harbour from the island and I found the history fascinating. I think there needs to be more yours like this on offer from the harbour authorities and National Parks. Dropped back at Circular Quay at 10.30am, heart of the city for more exploration of you wish. Tour departed at 4.45pm the previous day, so a great way to fill an evening in Sydney, particular for tourists with no cars to worry about parking. Viator was confusing with the times for this experience. Viator offered the same experience departing at 5pm and 5.30pm. However there is only the one ship/experience from Tall Ships Sydney leaving at 5pm. Luckily Tall Ships communicated prior to the day to advise to be there at 4.45pm for a 5pm departure. So make sure you follow their information once booked on Viator. Highly recommended experience!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Hello, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled you had such a memorable experience aboard sailing Sydney Harbour, climbing the mast, enjoying canapés and wine at sunset, and waking up on the water truly is something special. We appreciate you highlighting both the highlights and the helpful tips for future guests and following our direct communication for timing. We're sorry to hear about the bedding issue but glad our crew was able to sort it quickly for you. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the breakfast and the Goat Island tour. We agree, the views and history there are incredible. Thanks again for the recommendation and for helping others know what to expect. We'd love to welcome you back aboard anytime! Kind regards, Sydney Harbour Tall Ships
