Fantastic day on the water with Boatique. The boat was really spacious for our family trip. The team at Boatique were extremely helpful with recommendations on where to go and so easy to deal with. Can’t wait to do it again.

I had an amazing day yesterday! This is the best Sydney Harbour cruise on the market I must say. We saw all the highlights of the Harbour, it was really special to see the Opera House, Harbour bridge, and other landmarks so close from the water and it was really cool to admire the most luxurious real estate. I really enjoyed the beach hopping too! I will definitely go exploring with you again, it was so much fun and team from Boatique Boat Hire and Tours, you guys rock! So nice and professional people! Thank you so much guys!
