Great day in the Sydney Harbour - Of course the views were fantastic, it was the Sydney harbour. But the hosts were great and food was excellent, cooked fresh on the grill at the back of the boat.

Totally worth it! - This is a great way to spend an afternoon. Semi and Margie made this trip worth it. You learn so much about Sydney and the harbor. We anchors in Taylor's Cove for lunch. The food was fabulous... Shrimp, steak, salad, sides, fruit and cheese platter, plus beer, wine, soda, water. I would definitely recommend this!

Sydney Harbor Cruise - This is the way to discover the Sydney Harbor. Our Captain, James & 1st Mate Margie give a full afternoon of fun. We saw the sights of Sydney from a different perspective. We learned about the history & geography of the harbor from the famous sites to the local neighborhoods. There were only 6 of us on this sailing so it was personalized to our interests. Lunch was delicious & there was plenty of beverages. Pack your sunscreen & sign up for this cruise.

Harbour No Regrets - I want to praise both our guide Margie and our skipper Semi, who shared their love of the harbour, their knowledge of historical and modern Sydney and Australia, and their enthusiasm for attending to our safety & comfort. Lunching onboard at a mooring in Taylors Bay let us relax on calm water, and observe gulls, bream, and what locals call a 'shag' (a little black cormorant). We got great views of a number of the islands, the shoreline (natural & developed), and wind-driven and motorized watercraft. The time seemed to fly by.

Fantastic Sydney Harbor Cruise - Margie and James were our hosts on this marvelous motor yacht tour of the small bays in Sydney Harbor, including a stop for swimming. We set out at 12:30 PM and sailed to a great viewpoint that captured both the Opera House and Harbor Bridge, where Margie proved to be an excellent photographer. Lunch comprised grilled salmon and steak, prawn appetizer and a cheese/fruit plate for dessert. It was a great day, and much more intimate than taking the hop-on-hop-off ferry.

Perfect Afternoon! - Such a wonderful afternoon on board with Margie, Diana and her daughter. The crew attended to every one of our needs and my family and I simply had the best time. Brilliant food, drink and hosting from Margie who had so much energy and passion for what she did. Would 100% recommend- wish we had brought more friends and family to enjoy with us!

Luxury style tour - I took this tour on October 26th while visiting Sydney for a week. I met the tour operator in the Sydney harbor outside near the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (that’s where the commissioners steps are). We boarded the yacht and headed out in the harbor. The yacht was lovely and had comfortable seating, many drinks and delicious food. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The tour guide had a great knowledge of the area and shared tons of details about the homes, history and background of the Sydney harbor. Unfortunately the weather was bad on the day we went out and we had to return early from our cruise. I just wish the weather had been better, otherwise it was a good time.
