We had a wonderful time; the staff was very friendly and pleasant, and the pastries were just perfect. I recommend it, and thank you to all the staff.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great time and enjoyed the canapés on board. Our crew will really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for your recommendation.
Spectacular views of the opera house, harbour bridge and Darling Harbour. Nice dog treats were handed out and several platters of snacks for owners. The boat was very comfortable, under cover out of the sun, wind and rain. Lots of space for dogs to play on the floor. Easy to board and get off. The crew were very friendly and helpful.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the views, treats, and spacious, comfortable boat. It’s great to hear the crew helped make the experience enjoyable for both you and your dogs.
Wonderful crew, fantastic experience and so great to be with our little man who was able to join us rather than be left at home! A great afternoon! Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you and your little one could join and enjoy the afternoon, and that the crew helped make it a fantastic experience.
We had a wonderful experience at the cruise and it was a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere for pets and people. Highly recommended 👌 👍
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere for both pets and people, and really appreciate the recommendation.
Incredible experience on the Dog Cruise! Our Lab (and we) loved it! The team around Phil and Andy took really good care of us and ensured we had a fantastic time despite the lack of sun on the day! We had amazing views of the key Sydney sights and for us as dog owners it’s probably one of the few seaside / Harbour activities that are dog friendly!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you and your Lab loved the Dogs on Deck cruise, even without the sunshine. The crew will be so happy to hear your feedback. It’s great to know the harbour views and dog friendly experience made it a special outing for you!
We just got back from the Sea Sydney Harbour "Dogs on Deck" pup cruise, and it was a fantastic experience! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely loved having the dogs aboard. They were constantly making sure all the four-legged passengers had fresh water and were comfortable. Seeing Sydney Harbour from the water is always stunning, but sharing that view with our dog, who was having the time of his life, made it truly unforgettable. It was such a unique and relaxing way to spend the afternoon. If you're looking for a dog-friendly activity that treats your pet like royalty while giving you spectacular views, look no further. Highly, recommend this cruise! We're already looking forward to our next one

We can’t wait to welcome you and your dog back on board for your next cruise!
My wife, our dog, and I had an absolutely fabulous time on the Dogs on Deck Harbour Cruise! From start to finish, everything was so well-organised and welcoming. The crew clearly love dogs and made sure every furry passenger felt comfortable and included. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with plenty of space for the dogs to explore, sniff around, and enjoy the sea breeze. Our pup had the best time - he couldn't stop wagging his tail the entire cruise! We also appreciated how clean and safe everything felt and the views of the harbour were simply stunning. It's such a unique and joyful experience to share a boat trip with all the dogs, and it really made for a special outing for us as a family. We'll definitely be coming back again - and recommending it to all our dog loving friends!

Excellent experience around Sydney Harbour. My daughter and her friends had a blast with our poodle and interacting with all other doggies on board. Captain Phil and Joanna looked after us from the moment we stepped on board and ensured we had a great experience. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you, your daughter, and your poodle had a great time on board. Wonderful to hear the crew helped make the experience special, we hope to see you all again soon!
What a bark-tastic experience! 🐕💙 Our pup was living his best life out on the water — wind in his fur, treats in paw, and a boat full of new furry friends. The staff made it all super easy and fun. Such a unique way to enjoy Sydney with your dog. We’ll definitely be back for another cruise! 🌊🐾
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your pup had such a great time on board and enjoyed meeting the other furry guests. As it was our very first dog cruise, we’re thrilled to hear it was such a success. We look forward to welcoming you both back for another one soon.
