With plenty of room on the small catamaran, we were so pleased we'd chosen you, as sitting outside we had a close up view of the amazing lights.
Thank you for a great experience. Would highly recommend this company.
A special mention to Toby, who was outstanding throughout the cruise. He was always friendly, handing out food with a smile and taking the time to have a chat with guests. Those small interactions really made the experience feel personal and welcoming. A genuine good bloke and a credit to the team.
Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Sydney during Vivid!
Toby was an absolute legend—friendly, professional, and genuinely delightful. From the moment we stepped aboard, the entire crew made us feel welcome and looked after every detail.
Cruising around Sydney Harbour during Vivid was simply magical. Seeing the city and its iconic landmarks lit up from the water gave us front-row seats to the spectacle, without the crowds. The smaller, more intimate cruise made the whole experience feel extra special.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, the delicious canapés and drinks kept flowing. 🍷✨ They were definitely the icing on an already spectacular cake!
If you’re looking for a memorable way to experience Vivid, this cruise is a no-brainer. Highly recommended—we’d do it again in a heartbeat! 🚢🌈🎆
The staff: Phill and Yawana were amazing.
Can't speak highly enough.
They catered to our every need and made the cruise fantastic.
Due to the staff and experience we had this was one of the highlights of our honeymoon.
Phil was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever being over the top—he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the cruise. The food and wine were both delicious and plentiful, which made the experience even more special.
We’d happily recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to see Sydney from a different perspective—it was truly a highlight of our trip from New Zealand.
This was a fine experience, but without the narration, we could have just as easily picked up charcuterie and taken ourselves on one of the many ferries that criss cross the Sydney Harbor and enjoyed a self-planned cruise on our own time schedule, which is what I might do next time.
Fine experience, if you just want to get on a boat, have a glass of wine or a beer, and watch the harbor go by.
The tour itself was amazing, seeing the Sydney city views from the water around the Opera House. They also had wine and beer for sale, plus free snacks.
Honestly, we were so satisfied—this is something you definitely have to try!

It was a very nice and relaxing cruise before our big cruise today.
I went with my Mum, they helped us on and off the boat.
I highly recommend 👌
All in all it was an excellent experience had by everyone. We will definitely book again!
We had amazing views of the key Sydney sights and for us as dog owners it’s probably one of the few seaside / Harbour activities that are dog friendly!
The crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely loved having the dogs aboard. They were constantly making sure all the four-legged passengers had fresh water and were comfortable.
Seeing Sydney Harbour from the water is always stunning, but sharing that view with our dog, who was having the time of his life, made it truly unforgettable. It was such a unique and relaxing way to spend the afternoon. If you're looking for a dog-friendly activity that treats your pet like royalty while giving you spectacular views, look no further. Highly, recommend this cruise! We're already looking forward to our next one
The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with plenty of space for the dogs to explore, sniff around, and enjoy the sea breeze. Our pup had the best time - he couldn't stop wagging his tail the entire cruise! We also appreciated how clean and safe everything felt and the views of the harbour were simply stunning.
It's such a unique and joyful experience to share a boat trip with all the dogs, and it really made for a special outing for us as a family. We'll definitely be coming back again - and recommending it to all our dog loving friends!
Also liked the it was quite an intimate experience. We had a wonderful time chatting away with the other people who were also on the boat.
Thank you for a beautiful evening Sea Sydney Harbour!
Watching the sunset over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the water was absolutely magical. Everything felt easy, personal, and so well-run. If you’re visiting Sydney, this is a must-do — I’d book it again in a heartbeat!
The views in Sydney harbour are brilliant and the sailing takes you round to Darling harbour which is also picturesque. Would definitely go on this trip again. Thank you to our two crew members.
