Captain Jack was a delightful boat host with vast nautical knowledge and boat driving prowess. Lovely sweeping views of the harbor and its boats, nature, and buildings. Comfortable boat, tasty snacks. In conclusion, entertaining trip, great captain, good time! Would recommend others come to Australia just for this excursion.

Best way to cruise Sydney Harbour!
We had a fabulous time! Abe was our captain for the outing and was a wonderful guide and companion for our two hour cruise. The cheese board was a delicious addition. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a more intimate experience than can be provided by the big tour boats. A terrific way to view the harbour. Definitely one of the highlights during our time in Sydney!

Fantastic tour, informative and friendly
We took a two hour cruise around the harbour and had a great time. Glenn was a great guide and the cheese and champagne a perfect touch to accompany the tour. All the amazing sights and the best photo opportunities.
