    This was a great way to tour the harbor from the water. Margie was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the history of Sydney and the current development. Semi, our captain, paced the ride perfectly. It was a smaller yacht with only one other couple, so we were able to ask lots of questions and have a nice discussion with our crew.

    My husband and I emjoyed a private, three hour, catamaran tour of Sydney Harbour with Sea Sydney Harbour. We enjoyed every minute of it! It was surprising how fast three hours went by. Our guide was friendly, fun and informative on the area. The catamaran was clean and spacious. We had a relaxed and very enjoyable time.

    The trip started with an overview and safety instructions from a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We set off across the water and stopped to see some beautiful coves and amazing houses. We were able to swap drivers half way and both experience steering which was hilarious! We nearly took off on a number of occasions. a great two hours well worth the price!

    The sea food buffet was very ordinary unlike the previous cruise in July 2019. The jazz singer performance was ordinary the performance did not participate with their passenger, we were rather disappointed this time. We are a group of 25 peoples on board. the servicing attendance rather inadequate ( seemed short of staff serving drinks behind the bar)

    I booked a very last minute day trip after another plan fell through. I was very stressed but Jade was so helpful in finding me exactly what I wanted without a lot of notice or information. She was lovely and helpful and made the whole process simple, quick and easy. Our skipper Zane was also amazing and customised our entire day based on our discussions and getting to know us and took us to some amazing spots! Thank you so much for giving us the best experience. It was one of the best days we will always remember :)

    We went on the Lunchtime Sailing Cruise from Nelly Bay on Magnetic Island. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Beautiful boat, friendly crew and GREAT food. The prawns and bugs were the best I’ve ever had. Great wines and plenty were served.
    All in all a great time, highly recommend!

    The most spectacular way to start your Sydney trip! From start to finish, the booking with Dave, deposit, emails and arrangements were perfect! In line with other operator costings, Dave was very accommodating with dietary requirements and that we didn't drink loads, the food BBQ and drinks were exactly what we wanted! Good Skippering, cook and local guide, you can't ask for more than that! Perfect way to introduce Sydney harbour and the bridge to your family, well worth booking ahead, commendations to Dave and the crew, very enjoyable day trip, will definitely recommend to others !

    Absolutely fantastic service! I organized a surprise birthday party for my friends, and Marc was such a great super organized host. He let us leave the food and drinks early morning in the boat. During our trip on the boat, the crew Alex and Harry helped us set up the snacks and decorations, made tons of photographies and put our music. My friends had the best time! Highly recommend Smart cruiser Sydney. I will definitely rent them again for future cruises.

    we had a company Christmas Party on Saturday night and had a fantastic time.
    Crew was amazing with excellent service, cheerful and helpful. Boat was spotless and the catering was delicious. Will definitely recommend Motor Yacht Charters Sydney for an excellent experience and service.

    We've sailed with East Coast Sailing several times over the past few years, and have always been impressed. Our trip this month definitely exceeded our expectations! Very clean catamaran with a great captain who chose some awesome (sheltered) spots for us to swim. Can't thank Kylie and crew enough for helping us to truly enjoy our stunning harbour - would 100% recommend East Coast to anyone who's looking for a brilliant day out!! 😃

    We’ve been out in the harbour a few times this summer on Arvor 23. Given we have a boat license, we took the option of paying extra to remove speed limiter, and it was a blast on each occasion. The staff was helpful, and boat was in good condition. Joe, any chance you can add a sportscruiser to the fleet for next summer?
