Amazing experience well worth the money

What a great way to see the best of Sydney from the sea and enjoy top class food at the same time. Intimate experience with super knowledgeable guide in Finn and a beautiful boat. We went to 2 amazing restaurants right by the sea where we were dropped off by the boat and walked to the doors by Finn. Great food, ambience, service and fab tables at both of them.

Perfect Day on the Harvor

We boarded the vessel right on time. Our guide, Ned, was very helpful. He gave us a safety briefing, showed us the sights, offered us drinks and answered a million questions. We were blessed with perfect weather for viewing the sights and traveling across the harbor. Our trip progressed as described in the itinerary. Our first lunch stop was Doyle’s restaurant. Doyle’s is over 100 years old. There was a great selection of appetizers to choose from as well as a wonderful view of Watson’s Ba...read more

A perfect Sydney Harbour afternoon..

The Captain and Tour Guide were knowledgeable and friendly and did everything possible to make our day lovely. Only having six of us on board really added to the tailored experience.. And the food! And Champagne! Beyond expectations! Add in perfect weather and we couldn’t ask for more.

Fabulous!

Fantastic day out on the water seeing the harbour and visiting two excellent restaurants. A must do in Sydney. The crew were superb; friendly, professional and informative. Timings were excellent and the whole day ran smoothly. A day we will never forget.

Nice and relaxing cruise

This was our 3rd (I think) Long lunch cruise with my wonderful friend Amber. We thought ( per our last 2 cruises) that the cruise was to be private( ie; 2 of us plus the cruise crew, but it wasn't, we had 4 other people. ) . Otherwise, the 2 lunches and cruise itself was fantastic.
