The information provided when booked advised of a 510pm departure time. After calling the company they advised it as a 610 departure time and we would be looked after because of the inconvenience. We were not looked after instead the service was very poo

Poor food choice

Glenn 6 April 2024

The cruise around the harbour was great but the food was very disappointing I know it was Good Friday but I am sure they could give a choice of a fish meal or not as to my knowledge only the Catholic faith don't eat meat. I'm afraid the Entree choice of oysters or oysters and raw tuna was very poor and in the future you to accommodate everyone by having a real choice. The cruise around the harbour was great .

Amazing Experience & Crew

Shana 5 March 2024

Had the most wonderful time seeing the harbour with my partner. The crew were amazing and very helpful. The food was nice - it is on the fancier side so if you’re a picky eater it may not be too filling! A 10/10 experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Sydney

This was such a beautiful experience for myself and my partner, thank you to all crew involved, food was amazing and drinks on tap! The wait staff were so lovely and accommodating, will definitely be returning! If I could have dinner on this boat every night I would, extremely clean and all white on the outside, luxurious evening for the price to say the least!
