The Captain and crew were great. Trip Advisor did a poor job of identifying where the boat was departing from and who to contact.

This was an amazing experience. The staff on board was very accommodating and friendly. The food and drinks were fresh and the views were unbelievable. I would highly recommend this cruise.

This was a fine 90-ish minute cruise of the Sydney Harbor. The cruise delivered exactly what was outlined in the description - a relaxing cruise of the Harbor, charcuterie nibbles, a drink (and more for purchase). I was expecting some narration and descriptions of what we were cruising past, that was not provided. The choices for seating were in or outside and with limited seating, once you chose, you needed to plan to stay there for the duration - although you could get up and go stand outside. The instructions clearly state that one should be on time, they don't wait for latecomers, but on our cruise (as part of our 90 minutes), they returned to the the dock 10 minutes out to pick up a couple for unknown reasons. This was a fine experience, but without the narration, we could have just as easily picked up charcuterie and taken ourselves on one of the many ferries that criss cross the Sydney Harbor and enjoyed a self-planned cruise on our own time schedule, which is what I might do next time. Fine experience, if you just want to get on a boat, have a glass of wine or a beer, and watch the harbor go by.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the relaxing cruise, as well as the food and drinks on board. Our experience is designed to be a more laid-back, social cruise rather than a guided tour with commentary, allowing guests to unwind and take in the harbour at their own pace. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, we value your feedback.
Good crew. Superb views of the city and landmarks. Have yourselves a good time. Great captain, Adrian.
Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views and had a good time on board. The crew will be happy to hear your kind words!
We had a delightful cruise around the harbor! Nick was an excellent Captain and Maddie was an attentive crew member as well!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cruise and that Nick and Maddie helped make the experience so enjoyable. We really appreciate your kind words.
The cruise was fantastic! Only issue was finding the boat. The name we were given was not the name that was on the boat and not displayed anywhere.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the cruise. The cruise runs on either our vessels, Heaven or Fleetwing II, and we appreciate your note about locating the boat, we’ll review how to make the boarding instructions clearer for future guests.
We enjoyed the cruise around the harbour and the ambience on the boat itself. The picky bits provided were an added bonus.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the harbour cruise, the atmosphere on board, and the added touch of the snacks.
Nice gentle cruise around the harbor. When the city lights came on at night, the view from the harbor was beautiful. The experience could be elevated by giving some commentary about what we were seeing as we cruised
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the gentle evening cruise and the beautiful city lights. Our cruises are designed to be relaxing, allowing guests to enjoy the views at their own pace, so we don’t provide commentary, but we’re thrilled you had a lovely experience.
Lovely experience and a great way of seeing the city in different dimension. Only wish it was a little longer, it went very quickly! Had an amazing time seeing the city in a whole new way! Just wish it lasted a bit longer—it went by so fast!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the city from a different perspective. We hope to welcome you back for another cruise soon.
