We boarded our vessel at darling harbour, the meal was lovely, the views Spectacular (even though it was rainy) . We paid extra for a guaranteed window seat, yet there was only about 4’tables occupied on the whole floor. The thing that disappointed us was being a sightseeing cruise we had expected some commentary of tourist sights as we went along
A lovely meal while...

Such a relaxing day on the water gently cruising the habiur while fine dining and a bottle of soarkling to celebrate our 37th anniversary. Recommend the long lunch to really take it in and the staff were amazing.

This cruise was such a pleasurable experience. We boarded at Darling Harbor and took the lunch cruise to downtown Sydney. The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly and the food was delicious. There literally wasn’t anything we didn’t like! Everything about this excursion was perfect….even the weather!
Never enough Sydney

My wife and I had lunch at The Jackson, which is a very nice boat with a lovely dining area and outside seating. Our host was Pim, who was extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious, there was a great selection of drinks too, and a really nice atmosphere all round.

The food was good although no drink is included besides water. Too many people packed into the dining room. The guy at the table next to us had to keep standing up for the waitstaff to go under the floor to get booster seats. Chairs backed up to others that allowed you to barely be seated. We had the 3 hour lunch but were not told how things worked, dropping people off, letting people on, when do we get off??? We arrived back where we started, do we get off now?? Although it was at the 1.5 hour mark.
Great experience
