Exclusive Day on the Harbour - The most exclusive day on the harbour. From the moment Dave collected us from Darling Harbour we went entertained in the most regal fashion with a true Aussie gent dedicated to making sure we had a memorable day. His knowledge was 2nd to none, facilities on the yacht so comfortable, lunch was delicious, book your day with Dave and you won’t be disappointed. 👏👏

Yacht-a Be Kidding Me! The BEST Way to See the harbour! - We took the Luxury Sailing Cruise on Sydney Harbour with Lunch, and it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. If you are looking for an intimate, world-class experience that elevates past the standard ferry cruise/larger tour boats, this is it. Personalised Luxury: Sailing aboard the beautiful 40-foot luxury yacht was a dream. The fact that the trip is limited to a maximum of eight guests completely changes the atmosphere—it feels less like a tour and more like a private charter. Our skipper, David was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and ensured everyone was comfortable and received personalised attention. Unrivalled Views & Sailing: Cruising beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and gliding past the Opera House was breathtaking. The views are incredible, and the David provided wonderful, informative commentary on all the major landmarks, from Fort Denison to Mrs. Macquaries Chair. The experience of anchoring in a beautiful, secluded bay was pure bliss. We were served a magnificent, gourmet lunch while relaxing on deck. Having the option to jump in for a swim or just soak up the sun Every detail was perfect, from the impeccable condition of the yacht to the high quality of the food and the generous supply of drinks. David and his daughter, Nat were professional, ensuring a safe and relaxed sailing trip, but also warm and engaging. This cruise is worth every penny for the personalised attention, the luxury setting, and the unforgettable perspective of Sydney Harbour. Highly, highly recommend.

Excellent Boat Tour - David, was an incredible tour guide, truly an area expert. We had a great time. It was a very hot day in Sydney today but the shade part of the boat kept it nice & cool for everyone. Lunch was delicious & time to swim in the ocean was just awesome.

Superb Sydney Day - The trip had been booked by our tour operator so we were expecting to sail on one of the large tourist motor boats we had seen crossing the harbour. Therefore we were a little surprised to see Dave arriving in a yacht (despite it being 40’ long). Within half an hour, though, any concerns had vanished and we knew we were in for a great day. This has to be the best way to tour the harbour with a skipper who was both highly knowledgeable and a great, friendly host.

Not to be missed! - One of the best days out in Sydney!! From beginning to end everything was so well thought out. David was able to keep us informed and entertained, fed and watered throughout the experience. Highly recommended for locals and visitors. The swim was an added bonus on a beautiful spring day. Our 5 hours passed in a flash.
