Celebrate the spirit of Australia on a memorable harbour journey that captures the energy and excitement of this beloved national day. Step aboard a classic timber cruiser and take in the beauty of Sydney Harbour as it fills with colour, movement and festive cheer. The waters come alive with tall ships, elegant yachts and proud vessels adorned with vibrant flags as the sounds of cheerful music drift across the harbour. This cruise invites you to relax into the lively atmosphere while enjoying warm hospitality, delicious food and a welcoming setting perfect for families, friends and visitors wanting to experience this iconic celebration from the best vantage point possible.

Had a okay time on our cruise lunch today would’ve been much better if there wasn’t a bunch of loud women with their boombox speaker carrying on yelling singing assaulting the staff ramming there chairs into the back of our chairs while we’re trying to eat other than that the food was nice. The fruit and cakes was lovely. They catered for my mother‘s needs as she has dietary requirements.

Plenty of beautiful fresh food, great choices of alcohol. The route captured the wonderful attractions of the harbour including the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The commentary didn't stay on the entire 2 hour trip but was enough to keep us looking all around us. The weather was perfect and after lunch we sat out on the top deck enjoying the sites and the fresh sea air.

On the 16/01/18 our Family invited our friends from USA to have a highly advertised Sydney Harbor seafood lunch together. We all were seduced by the company very effective advertising which displayed a good variety of Australian seafood including Crabs, Salmon, large Oysters and presumably not the worst sparkling wine, obviously properly corked. Our American friends certainly spoiled by good seafood and by Californian sparkling in USA had driven saliva to meet with Australian hospitality. The Reality was absolutely frustrating. The variety and quality of food differed dramatically from those on the shining advertising pamphlet, There were neither Crabs nor Salmon on the table. Oysters and prawns in contrary to those advertising were of the smallest size ever seen by each member of our group. Instead of at least reasonable sparkling we were served poorly gassed very ordinary wine in strange bottles closed with metal screw cups. Neither of us ever seen sparkling wine closed by metal cups. On advertising pamphlet however properly corked Sparkling wine were photographed. We feel much ashamed for Australian hospitality. We could not believe in what happened. Our frustrated American friends from Colorado referred this practice to as a Fraud and said that in USA this cruise company will pay tickets cost back just to avoid litigation.
