  • Hi to all the staff and the owner of the boat It was amazing night from the minute we got the ticket on the arrival to the end of the night Just a quick story what happen with me that last minute on the arrival, I had to cancel for 2 passengers and I was aware that the tickets are surely refundable , but the generosity and the high quality profession , the owner had to follow us to tell us he is going to gives us a credit for those two cancelled tickets. I don't know what can I say more than that what a gentleman he was and even the staff they were amazing Thanks again for your hospitality and I really recommend that cruise to everyone Roula Kind Regards

  • Great dinner cruise on Australia Day. My 2 guests and I did really appreciate the whole evening, even if my little daughter fell asleep (thank you very much for the additionnal chair on which she slept). The perfect thing was that a friendly member of the staff offered us a table near a window. As we are from New-Caledonia, a French little island, where you don't see things like those you see on such a dinner cruise in Sydney Harbour. If I comme again to Sydney for Australia Day, I will book again a dinner cruise on that charming paddlewheel boat.
