Due to the weather it ended up being a private harbour cruise for my wife and myself. Also due to our tour guides, Monika and James, the cruise was excellent! We toured many bays and learned the history of Sydney harbour. We stopped in a private bay for lunch of shrimp, steak, salmon, salads, cheese, crackers, and fruit for dessert. A very enjoyable afternoon with a private tour from 2 very knowledgeable guides!

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.

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.

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!
