Amazing Day on Sydney Harbour!
We had the best time cruising around Sydney Harbour, but what really made it special was our incredible hostess and our captain Amba. From the moment we got onboard, she made us feel welcome, topping up drinks, and taking amazing photos. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy.
The views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge were breathtaking, and the hidden spots we visited felt so exclusive. The boat was spotless, comfy, and the crew prepared great snacks and drinks.
If you're looking for a fun, relaxing day on the water with top-notch service, this is it!

Had an absolutely fantastic time at the Sailing Christmas Party! The experience was truly magical—from the stunning views on the water to the festive atmosphere aboard. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, and everything was so well-organized. We enjoyed delicious food and drinks while taking in the beautiful sights around us. It was the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season! Highly recommend this unique and memorable event for anyone looking to make their Christmas celebration extra special. Can't wait to do it again next year!

I recently booked the La Bohéme catamaran with Amba as captain for an evening sail of Sydney Harbour. Amba was very attentive to my last minute request and communication was fantastic! She catered to our specific requests and we were able to view many stunning sights on the harbour. She ensured my party were well aware of safety precautions and had an enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend booking Bohemia Sailing and with Amba! Thank you for an amazing sailing experience!

The best harbour cruise we have ever been on! The crew were lovely and accommodating, the facilities and catering were excellent and all the small details were curated and considered. It’s also woman owned business which definitely shows. Thanks for having us!!

Incredible professional service that was super efficient! The team managed the craziness that was Australia Day on the water with amazing care. We felt like we were amongst friends the whole day.
Depending on the vibe of the group you can work with staff on board to curate an exceptional experience for your group.
Would recommend if you’re looking for something fun, classy and professional.

We had the best day out on Sydney harbour, with Amber and Iona from Bohemia sailing. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully sail with them again in the near future.

Bohemia Sailing! What can I say. Amba and Ash are the perfect hosts. Right down to their tasty platter to the intricate personal tasteful touches throughout the vessel. Not to mention our spectacular harbour sprinkled with fantastic customer service, flavoured with witty intellectual conversation. All of thisthat leaves you wanting to come back for seconds. Oh did I mention that the girls are pretty good on the eye! I highly recommend you add this little flavour to your weekend or special event. Cheers Linda

Had the most memorable girls day out with friends thanks to Bohemia Sailing. Their boat was the perfect size for 16 friends; we had a picnic, wines and a swim in the bay, surrounded by spectacular scenery and run by the very friendly and professional crew.

Vivid Sydney Harbour Cruise - Terrible We were expecting a guided cruise that went around to all of the vivid key areas that you could see from the harbour. We were also expecting a bar with beverages on board. What we got was a glorified ferry ride which was much more costly than a normal Ferry experience. Overcrowded, insufficient seats, and half an hour late for departure, with no apology - Do not waste your money on this experience.

Disappointing Vivid cruise Whilst the Vivid lights where great, the cruise was a bit disappointing. cruise was meant to start at 7.10 but was late obviously from the previous tour. Would have been nice to know what we were looking at or what was ahead so we could keep a look out. Advertised a on board bar, but was only serving soft drinks and snacks. Spent a long time docking at circular quay. There was 2 boats so would have been better if they had one going from each location. Just seemed very poorly organised.

A truly superb experience. The boat was pristine, and the catering was delicious. The all-female crew were exemplary - highly professional and masters of their craft. Their friendly and welcoming natures set the tone for the entire adventure. Nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond to ensure the 87-year-old party member had just as much fun (perhaps more) than the twenty-somethings. The crew perfectly navigated the right amount of 'presence' - they were on hand, with a wealth of knowledge to share when we had questions or wanted a chat, and then melted seamlessly into the background when we were talking amongst ourselves. So let me save you some time and say - you should book them. Whether you are looking for an exciting extended family adventure, a romantic proposal, a hen's night, a team bonding activity, a celebration, or a female empowerment event - Bohemia Sailing can deliver something that exceeds all your expectations.
