Small group experience well worth the cost. It was a rainy and dreary day, but it was still fun. Lunch was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves just relaxing and learning about the Sydney Harbour and surrounding area.

Over the top experience with Zane! Knowledgeable, informative, kindly answering questions while pointing out the beauty of Sydney Harbor sights. Gracious host at impressive CYCA lunch with cocktails, including tour of facility. Zane gave an interesting ride aboard the Spectre with a stop to view boys jumping from cliffs, flag down the ice cream boat manned by quite the character and most importantly was all about safety. We highly recommend his talents!

My family and I took a harbor cruise with Sydney Harbor Boat Tours yesterday. Our cruise left and returned us to the Harbour Masters Steps by the Contemporary Art Museum. Our party of 6 departed at about 12:15 and returned around 4:15. The boat, named the Spectre 2, was perfect with more than ample seating. Captain Keith expertly took us on a tour of the various coves and inlets of Sydney Harbor with a stop for lunch in a quiet area where we were able to swim. The lunch, which was included with our cruise, consisted of an assorted seafood platter and a charcuterie platter, along with various salads and desserts - as good as any restaurant. The boat was stocked with both sift drinks and beer and wine, all also included. Keith was also very knowledgeable regarding the history, etc. of the area and was very attentive and accommodating to one of our party who has some mobility issues. I definitely recommend some type of a harbor tour while in Sydney and wouldn’t book with anyone else. They are a pleasure to deal with. Kudos to Mark, Captain Keith, Peta, and the rest of the team for a first class day all around!!

Really enjoyed the tour. Captain James was friendly and knowledgeable. The group was small - only 8 people. We got to see most of the Harbour and had a nice lunch..

I had low expectations and was blown away. The boat was small but stable and there wasn’t a dull moment. 4 hours flew by. Lunch was stunning and the CYAC club was full of history. Just magic. As a kiwi we loved it. Worth doing.
