Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately and wear warm clothing.
Please note the departure location - Pier 2, Walsh Bay. This can be easily located in Google Maps or other navigation systems. The wharf is a public wharf, so specific Vivid signage is limited.
Upon arrival to the wharf, look for a Sea Sydney Harbour representative, who will be marking names off before you board the vessel. If you do not see the vessel or a company representative upon arrival, please wait patiently at the wharf as either one will not be too far away.
As the city is busy during the Vivid Sydney Festival, plan your travel time well and plan to arrive at the wharf 15-20 minutes prior to departure time. The vessel is unable to wait for late arrivals and due to limited ticket numbers a reschedule will not be an option.
All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

Our boat was Heaven! And lived up to its name! What an unforgettable adventure! Our skipper was Frank and his staff were warm and inviting! The hors d’oeuvres were very nice and the presentation lovely. Frank was top notch even taking photos for a lovely group of ladies so the could just relax and enjoy the show. I would take this fun voyage again and again! We are from the land of the “Mouse” Anaheim Ca and this for us was E Ticket! And not saying a lot, we don’t hand out the tickets to just anybody well done, mate!

A lovely cruise with great views, canapes and service. We sat close to the skipper, he is very knowledgeable and told us some lovely anecdotes about the vessel and his career.
