I had such a great experience with Harbourside Cruises - from start to finish! Carmen was so incredibly helpful with the booking and lead up to the event. She was very knowledgable, supportive and friendly. On the day of the boat cruise, the entire team on board were amazing, attentive and helpful - we even got a special singing performance from one of the crew. The boat itself was incredible - a great size, well maintained and clean. Would have no hesitation is recommending and will definitely be back.

Amazing! The vessel was immaculate and so clean and the crew were very friendly and focused. Quality of food was great with a welcome drink. Music was terrific hats off to the DJ and Elvis impersonator who was an all rounder. Cruise was worth the Value for money. cruise. Quality and

Fantastic crew from the moment you step on board to leaving nothing was a problem clean boat already to book for next years Australia Day for a dinner cruise

Thank you Sydney Harbourside Cruises for another fantastic day on your Australia Day lunch cruise🤗you never disappoint !!!cudos 🙂to all your hard working staff and off course the captain who sat out in the sun for 4 hours 👨‍✈️

Fantastic 2023 New Year’s Eve cruise on the Sydney harbour. I really enjoyed the cruise, the food was delicious and plenty of it, the wine, beer or soft drinks flowing all night. The music was great and we danced most of the night. The fireworks was spectacular. I would recommend this cruise to everyone - you won’t be disappointed!!!

So we went on the New Years Eve Harbour cruise, which was amazing. The only issue was finding transportation back to our hotel on the conclusion of the cruise.

Fabulous night! Food and entertainment was fantastic. View of the harbour amazing! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Thank you for a fabulous Sydney to Hobart Race spectator cruise! The service, food, drinks, entertainment, cleanliness of the boat, weather, everything was just magical and incredible value too! Looking forward to next year already. 👏🥂☀️✨ ☀️

An incredible Boxing Day cruise out on the harbour! Fantastic food, bar, music- staff were incredible. We will defs do another cruise soon!

Absolute 5 ★ review!! Fabulous office helping organise harbour cruises for my social group, the Harbour Spirit Catamaran is a totally fab, whilst The Captain and staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. Just book with Harbourside Cruises with total confidence of a great time.

We’ve been on the Boxing Day - Sydney to Hobart cruise twice now and had a fantastic time on both occasions. The skipper does a brilliant job of getting close to the action and the crew are great at keeping guests well fed and the beer and wine is plentiful. A great, value for money way to relax and unwind after Christmas Day. We’ll be back in 2023

Chris and his team at Harbourside Cruises were fantastic to deal with for our corporate Christmas party, excellent service, great food and lovely people, would highly recommend them.

This was our second company Christmas party on the Harbourside cruise. Everyone had a great time, food was delicious and great entertainment. Crew was wonderful and accomodating.

We had a wonderful time on the Melbourne Cup cruise yesterday. Everything about the day was great - food, staff, boat and company. Will definitely do this cruise again as it is fantastic value. Keep up the good work Harbourside Cruises.

We loved the Elvis & Tom Jones lunchtime cruise. Great entertainment & delicious food. Staff were super friendly & we definitely got value for our money. Thank you everyone for making it the highlight of our ‘Girls Weekend’!

Had an awesome time & enjoyed the experience. Everyone that was on board looked like they enjoyed themselves. The entertainment was great. The crew were fantastic. All great value for money! Thank you again & look forward to hearing about any new cruises that are coming up in the future.

Truly best experience from the very first time we joined the Harbourside Cruises they went beyond our expectations to make our trips perfect. With exceptional staff that provided a high standard of service. All our guests were very impressed. We have now been on 3 dinner trips with Harbourside cruises. Thank you for always being accommodating and taking the time with our special needs clients requests. The food is awesome and delicious. Everybody have plenty to choose from, there was so much food and the prawns were incredible. The entertainment is very engaging and entertaining. The crew took great care with everyone. Great value for your money Many thanks. We can’t wait for our next dinner cruise. ARC Of Supports social club will be booking another dinner cruise .

We enjoyed a fun evening aboard Constellation for a VIVID cruise. Well organised, safe and efficient boarding and disembarking, generous buffet for all food preferences, easy bar service. It’s a very pleasant space with good, comfortable seating, adequate dance floor, excellent DJ, friendly, attentive staff. All in all highly recommended!

Recently Harbourside Cruises hosted a cruise night for 120 guests with us and the service, organisation and running of the evening was exceptional. Chris, Carmen and the security at the event (Gus and Mo) all provided incredible communication prior to and during the event. All of the staff on the vessel were incredibly lovely and helpful. The food and drinks were incredible and the chef also whipped up a meal at the very last minute for a guest who was coeliac. I could not fault my experience with Harbourside and we will definitely be back for next year's event.

Awesome bar staff, crew members and great management! Beautiful night on the harbour.

Hello My cruise was just so wonderful; a fabulous experience the people the food the beautiful Sydney harbour. I had a wonderful time and will remember my trip for some time and looking forward to another cruise in the future. Thank you for giving me a very happy and fun day. best wishes Helen

Harbourside cruise was an awesome experience for me and wife to celeberate NYE 2021. The cruise ship docks at the prime location to view the fireworks and takes you though the harbour with great amazin views. The cruise ship is well spaced out and was not overcrowded with good drinnks, but the food can be much better. Overall worth the experience and is definite experience to try out for NYE. We got the closest view of the fireworks with seated seats on the cruise, how better can it get !

Everything about this cruise was fantastic. I took close to 50 people on this boat on Boxing Day. On boarding the tables were wonderfully laid. The food was great and there was a good selection of alcoholic beverages. The savignon blanc did run out, but the bubbles kept coming and there was the choice of other wine, beers and soft drinks too. The boat itself wasn't overcrowded, the music was great and the staff were so very hospitable. I've had so many positive messages from the people that came with me. Everyone wants to do it again next year (Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race) so thank you Harbourside Cruises for making our Boxing Day special...

Sensational day, great food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Was absolutely amazing!!!! Got a great deal from Groupon,but that certainly did not effect the the experience. The cruising around the Harbour and the on-board live show.Top notch. Highly recommend 👌 👍

From the moment we arrived at the wharf to embark on the cruise staff were very attentive. The table settings and finger food was excellent, drinks were a reasonable price. All our friends had a fantastic day and there was plenty of room for them on the deck to take in the stunning view of the harbour. Would definitely book again through Harbourside Cruises. Thank you to the captain for reducing the rocking of the boat on such a windy day so we could dance!

We hired out Harbourside Cruises for our mums 70th birthday last weekend. I have to say the most amazing experience for my whole family and guests especially for the birthday girl. The boat itself is beautifully decorated, spacious inside and out and sets a relaxing vibe. Allan and Carmen made the whole event easy to organise. Marissa and staff were absolute gems and helped run everything smoothly.From making a booking to the end of the event, it was all worth it and so thankful to everyone involved.The food was 100% delicious and service overall was above and beyond. DJ was awesome and set the mood from entrance, eating and dancing.I was referred to a photo/videographer by Carmen as well and he was very pro👌@Celio 'paparazzi'.I recommend this cruise for all events.Thankyou again for the experience Allan and Team cannot wait til the next one.Cheers. Suz

I hired one of their boats for my birthday and it was well worth it. The staff were lovely and they ensured we were catered for at all times. One of the best experiences I’ve had and would love to hire them again one day!

A massive thank you to Alan, Carmen and crew for a memorable birthday cruise. Restrictions forced us to ‘get a bigger boat’ and what a great find it was finding Harbourside Cruises. My every request was delivered, the food was great, the drinks were cold and DJ Dovy created a great atmosphere with his tunes. My guests had the best day and I am looking to book my next cruise already.

Wonderful experience. Our team had a fantastic time and we would definitely recommend in the future.

Amazing experience! Alan, Carmen and staff are so lovely and the food was amazing!

I recently organised a cruise with Harbourside Cruises and I can not speak highly enough of my experience with them. Every step from booking right through to the cruise was fantastic. Great value for money and the food on the boat was awesome!I will highly recommend them to everyone! 11/10

Can't praise this company enough. Did a 4 hour harbour cruise for a special occaision with family & friends & Alan, Carmen, Tony [skipper] & crew couldn't have looked after us better. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves & even though the weather was inclement the cruise was a huge hit. I will certainly use them again if a harbour cruise is required so highly recommended.

We asked Harbourside Cruises to take care of our Green Card Party celebrations on the harbour, for our family and friends, both local and from New York. This 4 hour cruise was the very best! DJ Stanley, Marissa our host, and the friendly staff on deck, and Carmen and Allan behind the scenes -- these guys KNOW customer service! Imagine trying to set this up for 100 people? They did, and passed with flying colours! It was a joy, and everyone loved it. Thank you so much! Michael and Dianne.

I cruised on Harbour Spirit for Australia Day 2020. It was a great experience. Everything was well organised and the vessel had everything we could ask for. Perfect positioning for all the events on the harbour, great entertainment (DJ) and tasty food and flowing drinks. Well done to all the crew! I would highly recommend this vessel for all Sydney harbour events.

Our company cruised with Harbourside cruises on last Friday for our Annual Xmas Party, we always go on a cruise this time of the year and this was the best by far!! The food was amazing, DJ was fantastic and the boat was absolutely awesome. The pricing is super competitive and the service by their events Manager Carmen is second to none and very personable. Do yourself a favour and book in with these guys!! You will not be disappointed!!

This was one of our best Christmas work functions we have had. The entertainment was brilliant as they involved the people on the cruise. We had such a good laugh. The music and food was fantastic as well. Well done guys, definitely will be doing a Christmas Cruise with you again.

We the Good Shepherd Filipino Choir had our Christmas Party aboard one of your cruise ships. All 60 of us had so much fun in spite of the short time on board. The office staff, DJ and serving staff were very accommodating. All we had to do was turn up and everything else was taken cared of by the Harbourside Cruises Team. We will definitely cruise with you again and we will recommend your company to family and friends. Thank you again for everything.

I arranged our team Christmas party through Harbourside cruises and was very impressed with the entire process. They were able to tailor the standard package to suit the budget I had provided. The booking process was so simple, I even called to confirm that there was nothing else I needed to do as it seemed too easy that I thought I must have forgotten something. Highly recommend!

On behalf of my family and I, our experience with Harbour Side Cruises was excellent from the buffet to the to the music to the staff.

We totally enjoyed the night. The staff seemed to be aware that a family night out is a memory and they made it a very pleasant one.Thank you

We recently had our work Christmas party on Harbourside Cruises, it was so amazing! The staff are all lovely and the food was the best buffet I've ever had on a harbour cruise. The booking process was also so easy and the team at Harbourside Cruises went out of there way to make sure we were happy with everything.

Harbourside cruises hosted our 2018 Macchina Espresso, Christmas party and what a success.The vessel catered for our large group with large open spaces inside and out.

We enjoyed the wonderful sunset whilst traveling around Sydney's many landmarks including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, Luna Park etc.Our seafood buffet was delicious. Providing a very large menu range to cater for everyone's needs.The friendly staff worked exceptionally hard greeting guests, serving drinks (we had a drinks package) and food for the duration of the trip. We had very comfortable seating.The DJ was great and kept the party feel going all night!We would like to thank Alan, Carmen and team for making our Christmas Party so enjoyable.

This is the second time I have cruised with Harbourside Cruises. First, a personal cruise where I charted the whole vessel, and last week, I took clients aboard as part of a Melbourne Cup cruise. A beautiful vessel with large amazing outdoor areas at the front and back, accompanied by excellent quality food, good service and a DJ as well. I will be back. Highly recommend.

Harbourside Cruise was so much fun. We had a fantastic time on Melbourne Cup day. The food was fabulous , the DJ was funny and played some great songs. Allan and his staff where excellent. Everyone had a ball.

Well organised, great food and service with plenty at the bar for all - good value for money.

A group of 11 did the Spirit of the Islands 3 hour cruise. Excellent show very entertaining, food was great, good variety. Definitely recommend this cruise.👍👍

We went with them to see Vivid & couldn't recommend them highly enough. Great food, clean modern vessel & friendly staff.

Went last night and had a fantastic time, the food was good, the staff entertaining were friendly, the entertainers were funny, the DJ played a song when you requested it. My husband was worried about being stuck on a boat for 3 hours but after said it could have gone for at least another 45 min 😂 Overall we had a awesome night and I highly recommend going.

A great experience was had by all our 62 guests on this cruise. Our engagement party went without any problems and the staff were great. Everyone loved the food and there was plenty to go around. My partner and I would definitely consider Harbourside Cruises’s for any of our future events. Thanks again Alan for making our day special.

The Management, staff and food is nothing less then amazing. I can not fault anything at all. I recommend Sydney Harbourside Cruises to everyone. Whether it is a lunch or evening cruise you are choosing, it will always be a lot of fun and satisfaction is guaranteed. I held many shows on this boat and am extremely impressed all round. A.W.Phoenix Entertainers loves you all. You are the best.

Fantastic time on our afternoon/evening cruise with 105 guests to celebrate our anniversary & wedding. Allan & his whole team put in an amazing effort making organising our event easy and delivered an extraordinary cruise. All our guests commented about the great food & excellent service. The attention to detail by every staff member really made it special. We highly recommend them for any event you wish to hold. Thank you Allan, Tony, Xanthe, Stanley, Paulo & the whole team!

We would really like to thank Allan and all the staff for all your help and a wonderful night for our daughter’s 21st on Saturday. All the guests had a great night, especially our daughter. The magician was fantastic and your chef did a wonderful job with all the food, we received compliments from the guests how nice the buffet was with a wide selection of choice to choose from. Once again thank you for a great night and your hospitality, we could not have asked for a better night and a memorable 21st birthday for our daughter which she will not forget.

Lots of Fun! DJ and Magician the perfect match!!

Well done to the lovely team for making the night so memorable. The buffet quality was fantastic, along with amazing views all around the harbour and an extremely cool DJ.A Special thank you to event manager Carmen for organizing such a great event!

I did the Vivid Dinner cruise and loved it. it was well organised and the food was absolutely delicious, couldn't fault it at all. thank you we will be back

Harbourside Cruises, Without peers when it comes to sightseeing the great Sydney Harbour.From the moment we were helped on board,the food,service,cordiality were par excellence. Our booking from 2016 was kindly held over to 2017 because of a family illness,as a consequence our son became blind, the crew without exception went out of their way to help him. Do yourself a favour if you are considering any event on the Harbour ,these guy,s are the best.

Awesome!!! Thank😊

We at Executive Collections chartered the Harbourside boat on Friday 15th December, I found the boat, the crew , the food, especially the food was presented hot,fresh and plenty of it so thenk you Allan and staff for an unforgettable nightcheers..... Frank Fodor

My husband and I just spent a fabulous evening with Sydney's Harbourside Cruises on the Harbour Spirit, for the launch of Linfluencers - L> - a new LinkedIn group of top local and international entrepreneurs. Every attention to detail was perfect, from the decor, the lighting and sound systems, the table settings and the superb food service. For a buffet, it was the most marvellous surprise - a variety of delicious hot and cold dishes, freshly prepared in the onboard galley by two full time chefs. The staff were warm and welcoming, the interior was comfortable and spacious, and the huge outside deck was perfect for taking in the sights of our iconic Sydney and Darling Harbours.Highly recommended for sightseers and corporate events!

Exceeded my expectations on every level, highly recommend for your next function!

Excellent cruise! With superb food and service. Well recommended.
