Darling Harbour is a fantastic family-friendly destination right in the heart of Sydney that has something for everyone.
Barangaroo was once a bustling container terminal, but thanks to a big urban renewal project this suburb on the edge of Sydney Harbour now has something for everyone.

Danie Moussa
From the time my fiancé and I got picked up to the time we got dropped off, I couldn’t fault anything. Thankyou Glenn for a lovely cruise!!
Lewis Partington
Fantastic cruise with great captain. Couldn't recommend highly enough
Sophie Parry
Fantastic cruise! I had family visiting from overseas and wanted them to experience Sydney from a luxury boat on the harbour. They all loved the experience, thank you!
Johannes Eriksson
Captain Marty was an excellent host. Had a wonderful evening on the Harbour.
Karen Harris
What a beautiful way to start our girls night out, cruising around Sydney Harbour drinking champagne, dancing and hanging with my besties. Thanks Marty for a truly memorable experience on board the coolest cruiser on the harbour.
Nicholas Hall
Wow!! What a way to see the Harbour and surrounds. Our group of friends were going to celebrate an important birthday in a bar as usual but fortunately one of our crew decided we should do something a little more special this time. We booked the Sydney Secret Beaches Tour and what a fantastic time we had. The ruggedly handsome and knowledgeable Captain Marty took us on a “deck”-adent afternoon of cruising, enjoying a few drinks whilst we soaked in the sights and learnt plenty about this beautiful harbour, getting up close to places we had long admired from a distance and visiting coves we never knew existed. What a great day. Thank you Captain Marty.
Lisa Kaplan
Such an amazing evening spent with friends on "Captain Marty's" luxury cruiser! We booked the Sunset Cruise as our dearest friend was visiting from the U.K. and we thought it would be fabulous to travel to dinner taking in the stunning scenery on Sydney Harbour! Sitting on this beautifully crafted timber boat, If it wasn't for the vast water one might think you were cruising the canals of Venice! Super comfortable & a great host. Thank you Marty, we look forward to our next adventure with you!
Mitchell Day
We had a great afternoon and evening out on the boat. The whole experience was great, starting with meeting the captain and getting the first view of the boat - what a classic. We got to cruise around the inner harbour while the captain provided us with some great stories about Sydney and it’s waterways. We had a great time and I would highly recommend this experience to both Sydneysiders and visitors to Sydney.
Tameem Aswad
Great private boat cruise for couples
First time cruiser and wow....it was perfect! I saw the boat on sunrise with Michael buble and I thought that would be a special treat to do with close friends for some celebrations. We saw not only the river at dusk but all the lights if the harbour too. A magical evening, beautiful boat, delicious cheese platter and an entertaining skipper. We all said we will do it again... 5stars
Anne Arbuthnot
I am back again in Sydney and have just have enjoyed another cruise with Sydney Luxury Cruises. This time we enjoyed a long lunch cruise with Captain Glenn, a very knowledgeable, friendly and competent skipper. Food was amazing and drinks even better!! Thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to see Sydney Harbour and enjoys the 'personal' touch.
Jolanda Schat
We booked a sunset cruise and it was definetely the highlight of our trip to Australia! Sydney Harbour is beautyfull and it was amazing to dicover it on a beautiful boat and great Captain Glenn. Thank you for a wonderfull experience!
Rhiannon West
Ultimate first class experience! We were looking for a more intimate cruise for 4 adults to enjoy the sunset on a warm summers evening on the harbour. Thanks to Captain Marty for making our private Sydney Harbour cruise the most memorable experience for us. The cheese platter was delicious and the bubbles were fantastic. We'd recommend to anyone! The boat itself is amazing...timber 'Italian' style and a dream to relax on. We were picked up from Mosman Bay half an hour before sunset and dropped off at Woolloomooloo just in time for dinner. Perfect in every way!
Kevin Treharne
The private sunset cruise was the absolute best highlight of our time in Sydney! Glenn combined outstanding customer service and great information about Sydney harbor with a smooth, enjoyable ride. Exceeded even our highest expectations and was worth every penny. Stop reading this and just book it now!

It was a great experience to enjoy the colourful lightnings around the harbour landmarks. However, it would be better if there were enough seats for everyone who bought the tickets for this cruise. There seemed to be some people who kept sitting there thought they joined the cruise at 6 pm; there weren’t enough seats for the ones who bought the 7:10 pm cruise tickets.
Awesome night! Vivid is just spectacular and there is no better way to see it than on the water! This is a must do while it is on!
