Our take
This is one of the small-boat lunch trips on our lunch cruises page, and it costs several times a seat on the big dining boats. What that buys is time and space: 4 hours on a 52 ft motor yacht with 14 guests at most, a host on board, and a barbecue lunch with local beer and wine. The route goes beyond the postcard sights to quieter coves and beaches. It rates around 4.9.
It meets at Circular Quay West, in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Wear soft-soled, non-marking shoes. Cancellation needs 3 days' notice for a full refund, stricter than most, and the operator has minimum numbers, so a sailing that does not fill can be cancelled, with another date or a refund offered. It sails in all weather. A vegetarian option is available if you ask when booking.
Good for
- A long, relaxed lunch with drinks and a small group
- Couples and friends celebrating
Think twice if
- You are on a budget. The big dining boats cost far less
- Your plans might change inside 3 days
