My Experience with Sensational Cruises This reviews so long overdue! I visited Sydney last December with my daughter and sister. I booked a lunch cruise with Sensational Sydney Cruises. Our guide n captain were Graham and Sammy. We had the best time! Lunch was salmon and steak with a great potato salad. My daughter enjoyed feeding the fish. Graham's a bit of a comedian. If ever in Sydney again, I'd definitely book another cruise with Sensational!

50th Anniversary Celebration onboard Sensational cruises Our cruise was absolutely amazing. We were the only two people on there and we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. The gentleman on the boat took such good care of us. They told us all about everything. They made sure we were comfortable the views the sites everything was just perfect knowledgeable about the area. They are very knowledgeable about the area. They explained lots of things they showed us the radar of dinosaur Island and the island self. They really went out of their way to make this tour personal for us. We went by homes as a rich and famous. They pointed them out. They pointed out different sites. The food was Amazing. The landmarks were incredible. The bridge with the people walking across. It was fabulous, told us about the activities, including the fireworks New Year’s. It was spectacular. They made my year. I can’t tell you how fabulous it was just as words. It was the Highpoint of our trip, and I can’t think those three gentlemen, any more than I have already because they were fabulous. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Carol and Gordon Hayward

100 stars! John and Sammy were amazing hosts!! It was a little rainy but they had prepped the boat so it was fully enclosed, but we were able to take it off when we wanted photos. The steak and Salmon lunch was DELICIOUS. Hands down the best salmon I’ve had! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about Sydney

Great tour experience, rain or shine! My husband and I took the harbor cruise tour with lunch. Our expectations were exceeded! Jon had so much knowledge about the buildings surrounding the harbor. Semi was a great navigator and found a sunny little cove for our lunch, even though it had been windy and rainy when we left the wharf. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great harbor tour experience, with a bonus of a delicious lunch!

Best boat cruise in Sydney Wow what a wonderful afternoon cruising around Sydney along with great food and even better company! Captain Semmi and my tour guide Jon were both amazing. Semmi made the boat ride so smooth and enjoyable, plus he took me to some great spots all around the bay. Jon is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning all the great history of Australia along with getting some great photos of gorgeous homes of the rich and famous. Both of them are wonderful hosts and lunch was fabulous. Semmi grilled up the best salmon I’ve ever eaten. I just had such a great afternoon and I would recommend this adventure to anyone!

Luxury tour of Sydney Harbour was fantastic! Thank you Jon and Semi for making our Luxury Sydney Harbour tour so enjoyable! The views were fantastic and the lunch and wine was over the top! This is I do not miss opportunity to experience Sydney in a unique way.

Great cruise, lunch and photos Great afternoon! Lots of views from the harbour. The crew was very knowledgeable and helped us great very special photos. Graham and Sammy were most helpful. They cooked us a wonderful lunch of steak and salmon right on the boat. Gave us an opportunity to swim in a private cove. Could ask for any more!!

Fun Saturday Cruise! We did the lunch BBQ cruise. Crew was fun and very informative. Food was very good and kept the drinks coming. Really great time and was a highlight of our trip!

An Amazing Day! Jon and Semi were absolutely amazing. They have a wealth of knowledge and answered any questions asked of them. Would recommend them to anyone and would also rebook with them. Lunch was amazing too. An absolutely amazing day all around.

Fun morning on the water We had a wonderful morning exploring Sydney Harbour with Graham as our guide and Aaron expertly captaining our boat. Graham was so knowledgeable, sharing interesting information about so many things as Graham took us in and out of the various bays. We have a wonderful cheese/cracker/fruit board and the morning passed by too quickly! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

Amazing Cruise!!! We thoroughly enjoyed cruising the harbor with Graham and Aaron. Graham was both informative about the landmarks of the harbor and was very entertaining. Aaron piloted the both expertly as he navigated through the waters. Both Aaron and Graham seemed genuinely interested in assuring that our trip was as enjoyable as possible. Lunch was delicious from beginning to end. The best tour we had while staying here in Sydney and I would highly recommend this tour.

Sydney Harbor Cruise with Graham and Aaron We had a great cruise around Sydney harbor. Graham was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Aaron did an awesome driving the boat. We highly recommend this trip.

A beautiful tour of the harbor and all its sites. Margie and Samie were delightful. Had a wonderful 4 hour tour of the harbor and many of its interesting sites. Very relaxing.

Sydney Cruising at its best The best way to see Sydney from the water is with Margie and the crew. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and will point out the beautiful properties of the rich and famous. The BBQ lunch was top notch. Thank you for such a great time and memories.

Simply superb, if you visit Sydney this is a must do. Amazing!!!! The trip was beautiful, the food, the personal was very knowledgeable, friendly and very passionate about everything.

Fantastic experience of a cruise and lunch Fantastic experience of a cruise and lunch went to the Commissioners Steps to take a lunchtime cruise in the harbour. We swam at Taylor Bay
Sammy and Maggie were marvellous hosts.

Sensational Syndey Cruise with Margie and Semi Margie and Semi were excellent hosts. The food and atmosphere was wonderful. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Sydney Harbour cruise What a start to our stay in Sydney. Graham and Semi collected us from the Commissioners Steps and we toured around the harbour. The boat was beautiful and we learnt so much about Sydney. We were spoilt with cheese, fruit and Tam Tam biscuits. Thank Graham and Semi perfect way to see Sydney.

Wonderful experience Had a wonderful time on this lunch cruise around the harbour. There were only 2 couples on the cruise so lots of room and time to interact with our skipper David and our host Margie. Both were entertaining and informative.
5 stars !

10/10. Fantastic. Margie and Semi were great I would give this 10/10 if that was an option. Margie and Semi were fantastic. We did the sunset cruise and it was the highlight of our Sydney experience.

Great way to see the city This was a fabulous way to appreciate the wider harbour which we would never have seen otherwise. Margie was a brilliant host with lots of information and made the whole trip great fun. Semi did a great job on the BBQ and in charge of the boat. So a great way to spend almost 4 hours in this great city. Thank you both.

Harbor Crusing at its' best... Great way to see the major attractions of Sydney Harbor. Our tour included my wife, myself, and one other couple very private. Our operators were Semi (Boat Captain) and Margie (Tour Guide). Margie provided many details along the way; while Semi kept our trip safe! The cruise was very relaxing and informative with snacks and drinks provided. I would recommend this tour if interested in seeing a lot with luxury accommodations.

Great Family Tour! Margie & Semi gave us a great tour of the Sydney harbour. We were on the tour with our 3 kids - 5, 3, and 1 year old. We felt safe & Margie made the tour very interesting. She engaged with our kids & they had a great time. We would definitely do it again!

Highly recommend Turned out to be a private boat tour of Sydney Harbour. Semi maneuvers the boat around getting you the best pictures. Margie gives excellent commentary telling you the history and interesting stories. They both bring the Harbour alive for you!

A DELIGHTFUL AFTERNOON ON JACKSON HARBOR GREAT 4 HOUR CRUISE. SUPERB FOOD AND INFORMATION ABOUT JACKSON HARBOR,. JAMES , THE CAPTAIN, AND MARGIE WERE FANTASTIC.

Fantastic afternoon in Sydney Harbour What a great way to experience the Sydney Harbour. Margie, Dave and Ash were fantastic hosts. Margie had a wealth of information to share, the vessel was comfortable, the food was great. The cruise around the Harbour provided many opportunities to take photos and learn about Sydney. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Perfect Small Group Harbour Cruise Outstanding level of service. From the start all the staff was super friendly. Great vibes from the captain and a very fun and knowledgeable guide who gave us the basic information of Sydney Harbour plus some hidden unique secrets regarding the rich coastal houses.
The food was a huge highlight. From delicious prawns to a typical Aussie barbeque done to perfection onboard, and finishing with a delightful cheese platter and fruit. The open bar with water, fizzy drinks, wine and beer was also a plus.
There was time to go for a swim while docked but it was a bit windy so all the passengers decided to just enjoy the view and have a lovely chat.

I'm very happy with the experience and I will totally do it again.

Super afternoon on the water A super afternoon cruising around Sydney’s harbour and surrounding areas. With only 11 on board for our afternoon trip we were royally looked after by skipper David, head chef Jill and cruise director Margi.

The boat was spacious and comfortable, the bbq lunch delicious and the drinks plentiful. Throw in a fun sweepstake for the Melbourne Cup and a great time was had by all.

Highly recommended for a lovely way to see Sydney from the water.

Harbour History with wine Great way to spend an afternoon, Margi was brilliant , gave us loads of history but also chatted with us not at us. Skipper David was great and does a mean bbq. Lovely boat , we also had great company by chance . Food and drink all in on price. Really like being on your own boat. We'll done Skipper and Crew.

Sensational! Thank you SO much Maggie, Dave and Ash for giving our group the best experience!! From being greeted before the boat arrived, to scrumptious food and drinks, to informative fun commentary and the amazing landmarks we were shown, we loved it all. Many in the group comment that it was their favourite activity of our tour so far (day 7 of a 12 day tour!)
Well done! I highly recommend Sensational Sydney Cruises - they lived up to their name ☺️

Fantastic experience on Sydney harbour. Great day on the harbour, very relaxing and great service. The food was nice and had a great experience as the was a whale in the harbour that came up next to the boat.

Nice way to see sydney with lunch! Graham, Sara & Bill were a great team & looked after us well. They had great knowledge the food was lovely & we where looked after well. Its a great way to see Sydney & the photos I took of the Opera house & the Harbour Bridge are amazing due to the angle I could get from the boat! Thanks

happy family and surprise proposal! Absolutely fantastic experience! This was one of the highlights of my family's trip to Sydney. When the crew found out I had plans on proposing, they went above and beyond to make it as special as possible.

10/10 for me. Our entire family felt very comfortable and well taken care of. The 2-hour cruise was just enough to go around and see the main attractions around the harbor.

A tour of Sydney Harbor and a fabulous meal! Captain Bill, Sara & Graham were awesome! We booked this trip as our last event on our Sydney vacation and it was exactly what we’d hoped for. We learned a lot, were spoiled with food and drinks and had a perfect relaxing afternoon. We enjoyed the “private” aspect because it gave us flexibility in the agenda. They were willing to accommodate us and our needs. Highly recommend! Thanks to Bill, Sara & Graham from the loud Americans.

Exceptional A very good experience with Bill, David and Sara for our French family !
They were very nice with us and speak slowly ! We enjoyed the day !

Relaxing and informative way to see a lot of the Sydney waterfront Captain Bill, Sara and Graham were very knowledgeable and friendly. They answered every question, provided drinks. great food and lots of interesting insights into harbor landmarks. They also tried to help us catch a fish (though apparently the fish were not in the mood).

A beautiful day cruising Sydney Harbor! My wife and I had such a great day taking Sensational Sydney Cruises’ lunch cruise around Sydney Harbor. We booked the group tour, but lucked out and were the only ones on the cruise.
We thought we’d won the lottery! Crew members James, Sara, and Graham totally spoiled us with great views, great stories, and great food and drinks. We highly recommend this tour!

Fun, Insightful and Scenic Had a really brilliant afternoon with very knowledgeable guides. Was very well looked after and saw some incredible views of the harbour.

An unforgettable journey We enjoyed a wonderful morning on the water with the most spectacular views. Graham shared with us the area's history in detailed. The personalised experience we received was a highlight of our trip. Sara kindly treated us to morning tea, while skipper Bill guided us for two hours, revealing breathtaking sights of the Sydney Opera House, the bridge, and other stunning city views. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and would definitely come back with family and friends.

Family boat tour Fantastic tour around the harbour with great tour guides, very passionate and knowledgeable. Lots of opportunities for photos

An unforgettable cruise! The cruise was simply amazing! It offered breathtaking views of Sydney's iconic landmarks and opportunities to capture picture-perfect moments.
A special thanks to Graham, an exceptional guide who made the trip even more enjoyable. His knowledge and enthusiasm added a special touch to the experience.
I highly recommend this cruise.

Amazing excursion It was an amazing, personalized experience. Graham and George were so knowledgeable and accommodating. This was probably the very best experience in our Sydney adventure!

Thank you George and Graham! Graham and George were incredibly kind and informative guides. We really enjoyed our trip around the harbour! They kept us laughing whilst also sharing poignant and informative stories. We had a blast!

Great boat, great staff, great cruise Wonderful harbor tour during Vivid Sydney. Lovely boat, great staff. Worth every penny. Highly recommend. Good for all ages.

One of my best trips ever. The crew was very professional and friendly. One of my best trips ever. The crew was very professional and friendly. Highly recommended for an exquisite yachting experience.

Vivid in style for a great price Lovely evening. Nothing was too much trouble for the crew. Generous glasses of alcohol and plenty of food. I loved that it was a small group. Plenty of room to move and everyone could get an amazing vantage point. Thanks Captain Bill, Lisa, Michail and Graham. I’ll be back again!

Great Tour We had a great time and met some really nice people to share our experience with. Great Captain George and Mate Graham ????

Worth every cent and more.. The whole trip was way beyond expectations. Very professional at the same time super friendly and fun. Graham and George shared their local knowledge coupled with bits of hot gossip and humour. Rates as one of our best tours ever.

Wonderful morning tea cruise! What started to be a rainy tense day turned into one of our favorite excursions. We had a private cruise. Graham and George were fabulous. Learned a lot about the area. Definitely a must.

Intimate, educational, enjoyable This experience was probably one of the highlights of my visit in Sydney, We were greeted by the most friendly crew and welcomed aboard an immaculately clean boat and treated to appetizers of cheeses, fruits, crackers and beverages. The crew was very knowledgeable of the historical and current sights, very conversive, and it was obvious that they all loved their area, the harbor, and their job. Margie and Ian were excellent. I would definitely do this excursion again.

Great harbour cruise What a fabulous day we had on board with Margee the perfect host and boat driver Ian.
Margee was very knowledgeable about the harbour and the people who live there.
We stopped for a lovely lunch freshly prepared, and had opportunity to swim, which was great.
Just 8 of us on board made for the perfect trip.
We won’t forget it

Excellent morning tea cruise around Sydney Harbour Had a brilliant experience on the Sensational Morning Tea Cruise with Sensational Sydney C irises. Beautiful scenery and photo opportunities with fantastic service from the staff and crew. Thank you Ian (Captain), Graham for all your local knowledge and Lucy (Owner). Would highly recommend.

Perfect Sunday Afternoon Spent a lovely afternoon on the bay. We lucked out and had a small group which made the time even more special. The team was fantastic. Pick up was super easy and they were perfectly on time. Highly recommend if you want a more personalized experience!

A relaxing afternoon Although it was a windy day (gusts as high as 60 kph) captain Ian and the boat owner Shawn delivered us a very comfortable harbor cruise. It was an intimate afternoon with just 4 of us on board the large yacht. We learned a lot about the history and geography of this expansive city and even talked a bit about a future Olympian. The lunch and drinks in a small calm cove was a nice bonus after a busy morning. A wonderfully relaxing afternoon. You should try it.

Sydney Harbour cruise with gourmet meal The cruise and lunch were first-rate. Ian was our captain and chef, while Graham gave a running narrative as we traveled through Sydney harbour. Many colorful and interesting stories were told. The meal was delicious: shrimp to begin, followed by steak, salmon and salads. The steak and salmon were prepared on board. Dessert was chocolate biscuits, fruit, crackers and cheeses. I’m stuffed but happy. I only wish the weather had been better. But still a wonderful and educational time was had!

Beautiful day on the harbour. Great service all round A++++ I hired a private cruise for the morning which Graham and Ian chartered for us. Beautiful morning and got engaged too!

Sydney harbour cruise Excellent cruise, well hosted. Good food, lots to see and take in. We took the opportunity to take a swim. Great pictures. Recommended!

Best Boat trip EVER!!! Had an afternoon cruise. Omg it was so amazing. There was just me and my Wife on the boat, and we was treated to the most amazing experience. They could not do enough for us, to make us have an amazing time. The food was splendid and Shaun made sure we see as much and he took some amazing photos. Anyone whose coming to Sydney needs to do this trip it was outstanding.

Great Afternoon A great afternoon spent with skipper Scott and our host Graham who shared his encyclopedic knowledge of the harbour with great humour. We enjoyed a lovely lunch on board and would highly recommend. We were lucky that only one other person was on this cruise with us but it is limited to small numbers at all times.
If we ever pass this way again we will be looking them up to repeat the experience.

Perfect. Wonderful time with Juan and Scott who were very welcoming and caring for us. A highlight of our trip. I highly recommend thanks to them!
