This sunset cruise was such a fun experience! The views of Sydney from the water were absolutely stunning and made the evening unforgettable. Sipping cocktails while taking in the Harbour Bridge and Opera House was the perfect way to enjoy the city. The charcuterie board was a nice touch and paired perfectly with the drinks. A relaxed, beautiful cruise that I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to see Sydney!

This was a very nice cruise. The charcuterie board and drinks were good, the seating was nice, and the views were lovely. I only wish that they had lowered the lights when it got darker so that we could see outside a little better.

First time at night doing a harbour cruise. It was so beautiful and relaxing… thoroughly enjoyed it!
Erika_L, Mar 2026
The cruise itself was nice although the decor of the ship was a bit dated. Also felt a bit ripped off with the limitations on drinks with only being able to order 1 cocktail per person (out of the 2 drinks per person inclusion) which was made worse by the fact that the cocktails were also not particularly good and tasted watered down

You have a choice of cocktails for your 1st included drink; not a one size fits all. I had the Margarita and it was top notch. The second included drink is a choice of 2 beers or 3 types of wine so something for every taste. The charcuterie board was also top notch; much better than I expected and definitely enough for 2 people. You are assigned a table but are free to walk around; go up on deck to see the sights with your drink and then come back down to enjoy your charcuterie. No worries about something being taken away while you’re gone. We had a beautiful clear, warm evening so spent a lot of time on the upper deck enjoying the skyline. You do have to download the narration if you want to hear about the different sights along the way but that was actually a plus so you don’t have to listen to an annoying narration over the intercom. Instead, you listen to an onboard lovely vocalist and small band. It was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

It was a nice relaxing ride around the harbor
The boat was nice, drinks selection was minimal, but overall that a bad experience
Helene_T, Mar 2026
Boat is much larger than we thought it would be and there was very limited outdoor space. Cheese tray contents were good but there could have been a bit larger quantity. Service was pleasant and welcoming. Music was wonderful.
Richard_J, Mar 2026
Expected an upper deck location for our dining. We were on the lowest deck and could only walk up to an observation area to see out over the Harbour. Good service. Commentary was limited to non existent. 4 stars is probably too high a rating.
Taylor_J, Feb 2026
Good charcuterie and nice break from the heat! Only complaint is we ended early & stopped to pick up people during the ride so you missed some cruising time. But this was a nice break from the walking and heat!
Susan_T, Feb 2026
We left the dock late. We were seated by a window. The drinks were good and so was the food. We enjoyed the lady singing. Sadly, we docked 15 minutes early.

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.
Sandra_N, Jan 2026
Good fun and very smooth "sailing". We had great seats downstairs and the food and drink were both excellent as was the service.
Jeannie_A, Jan 2026
It was a nice ride around the harbour and the food and beverages were good. Thought it would’ve a little more personal but ya can’t have everything.
Meghan_H, Jan 2026
Very smooth boarding process. Loved the live music on board, and the wine selection was solid. There were plenty of opportunities to step outside and enjoy the views from the upper deck.

I was being help by an Indian girl ( I did not get her name ) and she did not gave our table any foods at all, but other tables were being served. And I had asked couple of times, and the food came very late….Then I called another waiter named RYAN, even he talked back to me saying that it’s not up to the waiter, but up to the kitchen……I did not like his attitude and his words….He should be more train how to handle any customers.
Then the cruise director ( her name is IDA — I don’t know if that’s her real name ).
She did not even apologized and only gave a compliment of 2 plates of french fries.
Thank you very much for the compliments but I was already unhappy with the trip as they treated us unfairly.
Hopes they all get a warning from the company, so in the future, it won’t happen to other customers.

Nice trip around the harbour with nice cheeseboard served.
Would have preferred a night trip to see the lights of Sydney
Angela_M, Nov 2025
A very enjoyable evening.
Great view
Nice night missed the fireworks which was a shame
Would have loved to steer the boat,

Good charcuterie and drinks. Great live music without being too noisy. Easy hop on and hop off. Good service.
Jasmeet_D, Nov 2025
It was awesome experience. With good food and drinks. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.
Anna_B, Nov 2025
Our experience was exactly as described. We had two beverages each and a lovely, plentiful charcuterie board with a variety of meats, crackers, cheeses, and chocolate. We highly recommend this excursion.
Angela_B, Nov 2025
Great relaxing way to catch up with friends with beautiful back drop.It went for 3 hrs which was perfect.Charcuterue board ample and refilled biscuits.We were more than happy with experience
Peter_S, Nov 2025
I wasn’t too impressed with this experience. Views were amazing, but the food and drink experience was just ok. Cheese board was average and the drinks were basic. I even asked to sub out the second drink for another cocktail and they said sure but it was an extra charge. Overall, if you want to experience a harbor cruise just hop on the ferry and go get a cocktail elsewhere.
Rebecca_P, Nov 2025
Everyone was nice and it was easy to figure out where to go and what to do, but it looked like they sell multiple levels of this trip served simultaneously. This one put us in seats by the window of the lowest level, which felt special until we walked around and found that the next floor up had live music and dinner, and the higher levels had access to outdoor decks with great views where we took some pictures. I have no idea how to get those packages, but no complaints because we could walk around and see it all. It would have been nice to have music on the Lower Level where we were seated also, but I can understand if that would increase the ticket price.
Karen_B, Oct 2025
Very relaxing, good food and drinks. The staff were great. We had a great view of the harbor from seats next to the window.
Jacqui_W, Oct 2025
A gr8 experience. Lovely views and refreshments. A lovely boat. Helpful friendly staff. Great to look back on Sydney from the harbour.
SMITH_A, Oct 2025
Absolutely wonderful experience! The two drinks & charcuterie included were delicious, and the reserved table made the cruise especially comfortable. The rooftop of the boat had amazing views!
David_S, Oct 2025
Cruise exceeded my expectations from start to finnish. Had lounge chairs for seating, an excellent charcuterie board and even the cocktails/wine choicew were very good. A beautiful experience I would do again!
Bill_B, Oct 2025
We had one day in Sydney and decided on this tour. It was a great decision! great drinks and cheese plate followed by a cruise past the opera house. highly recommend!
Belinda_M, Sep 2025
Take a light jacket as it can get cool outside of an evening. The platter for two is delicious as well as the complimentary cocktail/

We were inside - not to worry about being too cold. You will need a jacket to go outside to take photos. Great value - thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. Not really a cabaret - a lady played piano for 30 min the rest of the cruise in silence. It was magical watching the lights of Sydney harbour.
