Love the crew! They are so nice and friendly. Always there if you need anything. The food was really good. And the views are awesome!! Just wish it went to more places that you could take a dip in the water instead of views of the city.

Margie and James were our hosts on this marvelous motor yacht tour of the small bays in Sydney Harbor, including a stop for swimming. We set out at 12:30 PM and sailed to a great viewpoint that captured both the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, where Margie proved to be an excellent photographer. Lunch comprised grilled salmon and steak, prawn appetizer and a cheese/fruit plate for dessert. It was a great day, and much more intimate than taking the hop-on-hop-off ferry.

Although the crew tried their hardest to give us a good trip it was very little like the one we had booked - the 'barge' arrived 20 mins late - it could accommodate over 200 people as party group and was as far from the luxury unique sailing experience we had booked - at first site our initial thought was not to go and certainly several other people did - no luxury, no kayaks, no swimming , no bbq! Out of the 10 of us waiting, five chose refunds - we however decided to give it a go.
The cruise was good - the steward was full of information ( but sadly a little racist ) and the food was OK- but we ate at a small table for five in a huge space! Not luxurious by any means! We didn't moor up anywhere , I think we were too big to get into some of the bays and our overall impression was that we had paid far too much money for what we got. I understand that their boat had broken down but I feel we should have been offered a refund for some of the charge - instead we were offered a sail at 10am the next day which none of us could do.
We had looked so forward to this trip that it was a disappointment- it was a lovely 3.5 hrs on the harbour but it was not what we had booked.

What a fun experience! A great way to see Sydney and Darling Harbors from a different point of view. Our guide Maggie was energetic, knowledgeable and fun! She gave us interesting details about various houses and landmarks along the coast. She pointed out the Hogswort house and where the Nemo dentist office was to my son. Lunch was succulent shrimp and juicy steak cooked onboard. This excursion is a must when traveling to Sydney!

Every bit of it was amazing!! The yacht, the food and especially the crew ( Captain, chef and the bubbly coordinator). Plenty of information or the rest of the boat to yourself or with others on the tour. HIGHLY recommend this experience!!!

Graham, his lovely wife and deck hand George (actually our Captain) were fantastic hosts for our lovely afternoon tour of Sydney's magnificent harbour, (largest in the world). We toured the waterfront and saw the fantastic homes of Mel Gibson, Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman and Rupert Murdoch. Then went for a cruise before mooring in a spectacular cove for a delicious barbecue lunch of perfectly cooked steak and salmon with salad, shrimp and cheese and fruit for dessert. It was like spending an afternoon with friends on their magnificent yacht. I was on Sydney on business and had the day off; it was the perfect way to spend an early Fall afternoon. Looking forward to returning to Sydney with my wife and sharing the same adventure with her.

Friendly guides and a small group made for an intimate trip around the harbour...allowing us the opportunity to swim, kayak and float either side of a sumptuous seafood lunch!
A fantastic afternoon out!!
