Great experience
Great way to see the harbour. Crew were very friendly and helpful. Set sail on the way back, lovely and peaceful and you get plenty of time to take it all in. Simple but very nice dinner and a chocolate brownie straight out of the oven at the end. Most of what you pay goes into maintenance of the ship which is over 100 years old. Would definitely recommend.
Operator response

Delightful Authentic Australian Evening Sailing on the Harbor
Traveling with a teen and tween, I wanted them to appreciate the history and culture of Australia as well as the see the visually stunning harbor, not just 'go on a boat'. The ship is an authentic trading vessel and my children could hoist the sails and climb the mast (with safety equipment, of course). My daughter was atop the ship as we passed under the Sydney Harbor bridge in an unforgettable experience. We sailed around to Darling Harbor and paused for sunset and evening photographs around the harbor and Opera house. The staff were knowledgeable about the history of the trading routes and early colonies of Australia, also trained sailors who take out school groups. It was a perfect blend of sightseeing, education and the unique experience I was looking for. There's a lovely bar and dinner is served in the authentic ship's wooden galley - simple but tasty and nutritious. Definitely a step up from a ho hum touristy harbor cruise.
Operator response
Hello,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We're thrilled that you and your family enjoyed such a unique experience aboard our tall ship. It's fantastic to hear your children embraced the adventure of hoisting the sails and climbing the mast, and what an incredible memory for your daughter to be at the top as you sailed under the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
We're so pleased that our crew's passion for Australia's maritime history, combined with the beauty of Sydney Harbour, gave you the perfect mix of education, adventure, and sightseeing. Thank you for your kind words about the food and crew as well.
We hope to welcome you all back aboard for another unforgettable sail!

Advertised as 2 hours...
Advertised as 2 hours cruise, in fact just an hour. We were not brought to any places of interest just stop at the middle of the harbour and had some low budget food. And returned to Campbell cove. That is the entire journey for $90 per person.
Operator response
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.
Our cruise is designed to provide a relaxing harbor experience rather than a guided sightseeing tour, but we understand that the duration and itinerary may not have been communicated clearly. We sincerely apologize if the trip felt shorter than advertised or did not deliver the value you were expecting.
Your comments about the food and overall experience are also noted, and we will be reviewing these areas with our team to ensure improvements are made.

Tall Ship Tour
This was our first time on a tall ship. The crew was attentive and pleasant.
The weather wasn’t great, but we still got some beautiful pictures of the sunset behind the Sydney Bridge.
We were very close to the Opera house which was gorgeous when lit up for the evening.
The dinner was average.
However the trip itself was worth it!!
Operator response

We appreciate your honest feedback about the dinner as well. We’ll certainly take that on board as we continue to improve our overall experience.

Good value for money experience. Food was okay-just some buttered chicken with some greens but reasonable price for the experience so was worth it overall.

Nice harbor tour.
Very nice experience touring the harbor. The main guide, Jim, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We peppered him with questions and he answered them both accurately and with good humor.

A pleasant sail around Port Jackson
The cruise staff were very gracious, providing a tasty meal while sailed the harbor in their 100+ year old ship. Great views of Sydney from the water. Our only complaint was having to pay extra for beverages; this should have been disclosed at the time of booking the tour.
