We had an absolute ball on NYE! Travis and Karin looked after our booking so perfectly and really guided us through all the options before finding the perfect solution for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and have already been recommending them to friends who saw all of our pictures on social media ;). The perfect experience from start to finish!
We had an amazing cruise for my Dad’s 50th Birthday! The boat was absolutely beautiful, the staff were amazing constantly making sure everyone’s drinks were topped up and food was handed out. The whole day was so lovely! Thank you so much for organising the event for us. All our guests have commented saying how fun the day was.
I had the best 30th birthday going through Sydney Harbour Days. The team were so accommodating and really ensured that the day went seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were eager to address all my questions and concerns leading up. Their communication was excellent. The boat itself and the crew were fabulous also.
Highly recommend for all your future Sydney harbour boat parties!
An absolutely outstanding experience! We appreciate everything that was organised. It was a seamless experience. We can’t thank you enough for an amazing day/night the staff were amazing, the food and drinks spectacular! Best Christmas Party ever! Thank you.
Fantastic service for NYE boat booking – everything that was promised happened and a bit more besides. Very responsive throughout – I am happy to recommend this company
Our company used Sydney Harbour Days to organise our end of year Christmas Party and their service was excellent. They assisted me every step of the way- from the initial enquiry right up until the day of the cruise. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I reached out. Our team had an amazing, memorable night- the boat, atmosphere and staff could not be flawed. Thank you so much Sydney Harbour Days!
