This was a great tour buffet was adequate lots of food. It was a wait to get a beverage, only one guy serving drinks, but he was great. Kids loved the cruise and taking pictures. It was very nice, would do it again. Need a jacket, it gets nippy with the wind.

The views from the boat were exceptional, with lots of photo opportunities. The food was cold choices of canapes but there was plenty of it. The staff were welcoming and friendly and there was live entertainment. It was a nice experience but the weather was cold. I believe it would be even better in the summer.

We went in with low expectations. I was a little upset at first as I was expecting a smaller more intimate boat, but realised quickly that there would be way too much movement on a smaller boat. The bay is quite rough/choppy. The staff were super friendly and not in your face. The live music was AWESOME we found out at the end it was an Aussie which was really great! and the food was sufficient and tasty. The views of the city during sunset and afterwards all lit up were spectacular . By the end of the trip people were just sitting together extremely relaxed and content. Highly recommend this to anyone!
