5.00Seeing the city from the water is epic. The tour took us all around the bay, sometimes going really slow to take in the houses and scenery and sometimes zipping along. We stopped off in a quiet cove for a swim, enjoyed a cold beer on the sun deck, and leaned loads about the city. Our skipper Seth was a brilliant guy. Couldn’t recommend this activity more highly - we loved it and so did our 4 kids
Loved this tour

A Personal and Memorial Way to See Sydney

5.00This small group boat tour of Sydney Harbor was the perfect way to experience the city. With a more intimate setting, it felt relaxed and personal—far better than a crowded tour. Zane was an incredible captain and guide, sharing great insights and stories about Sydney’s history and landmarks. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a more authentic and enjoyable way to see the harbor!
A highlight of our Sydney trip!

5.00What an amazing day!! Keith was a fantastic captain! He took us all around the harbor, discussing interesting facts about everything we saw. Next he drove past beautiful beaches and stopped and allowed us to swim and hang out for a while. We also ordered a few delicious platters of fruit and cheese, and were visited by a floating ice cream truck on the bay! Keith even accommodated us with a special drop off at Manly! Definitely a highlight of our Sydney trip!! Can’t recommend it enough!!

5.00Beautiful views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge. Relaxed atmosphere, and the guide was informative. Shorter stops, but a pleasant way to explore the harbor.

Excellent private charter

5.00We took a 3 hour private charter on Spectre, which we all absolutely loved. Our first date was cancelled due to bad weather and our attempts to book second date were made particularly difficult as our travel plans were so badly disrupted due to the coronavirus. Throughout this Mark was excellent to deal with and couldn't have been more helpful in very difficult circumstances. We really felt that we had seen a lot more of Sydney than we would have done and it is alway nice to do that from a luxury boat like Spectre. Highly recommended.
Amazing and friendly

5.00Excellent customer service. Staff friendly and super professional. We used 'Spectre' for senior clients during an event, an amazing boat which fitted all our client needs, with a fantastic Captain (Justin) and First Mate (Elodie). Would highly recommend.
