Over the top experience with Zane! Knowledgeable, informative, kindly answering questions while pointing out the beauty of Sydney Harbor sights. Gracious host at impressive CYCA lunch with cocktails, including tour of facility. Zane gave an interesting ride aboard the Spectre with a stop to view boys jumping from cliffs, flag down the ice cream boat manned by quite the character and most importantly was all about safety. We highly recommend his talents!

Lovely day

Sheri_D, Mar 2025
Small group experience well worth the cost. It was a rainy and dreary day, but it was still fun. Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves just relaxing and learning about the Sydney Harbour and surrounding area.

Spectacular Sights and Senses!

Really enjoyed the tour....

Really enjoyed the tour. Captain James was friendly and knowledgeable. The group was small - only 8 people. We got to see most of the Harbour and had a nice lunch..

Magic day on the harbour

Heather_W, Dec 2024
I had low expectations and was blown away. The boat was small but stable and there wasn’t a dull moment. 4 hours flew by. Lunch was stunning and the CYAC club was full of history. Just magic. As a kiwi we loved it. Worth doing.

Perfection

Sandra_F, Nov 2024
This was an absolutely perfect trip. We saw all the sights in the Harbour, all the way to the entry to the Pacific. The descriptions provided gave great insight to all the places and landmarks along the way. Lunch and the informal tour at the Yacht Club added to the enjoyment. Great way to spend a hit, sunny day!

Best Boat Tour

Robert_K, Nov 2024
Zane was a great host and guide! Learned a great deal about the harbor and Sydney’s history. Yacht club was the perfect place for lunch, learned about the annual Sydney to Hobart yacht race. Also saw a couple pods of Dolphins.
