    Great night with my girlfriends from New Zealand. This cruise was excellent value for money and I would totally recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney! The staff were lovely and the nibbles were a nice touch with the champagne. I felt that a one and half hour cruise is just the perfect duration rather than being stuck on a larger boat for 3 hours or so. Then we popped off to a lovely Sydney restaurant for dinner after! The perfect evening.
