Lovely cruise taking in all the sights with a knowledgeable skipper, who is happy to answer any questions. The food platter and wine was fantastic. Really recommend this cruise, good value for money.

There was a well experienced and friendly crew on board. They did their best successfully and anytime someone need assistance or help a crew-member was around. Thanks to the team.
    • Leave the busy waterfront behind and cruise across Sydney Harbour on a modern catamaran as the skyline transforms from daylight to glittering evening lights.

    • Step aboard at Circular Quay, settle onto the open-air decks, and enjoy uninterrupted harbour views as the catamaran glides smoothly across the water.

    • Sail past Sydney Harbour landmarks including the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Luna Park Sydney, Barangaroo, and Darling Harbour during golden hour.

    • Relax with a complimentary beer or wine included in your cruise while you soak in the harbour breeze, sunset colours, and city views from the water.

    • Spend your cruise unwinding with friends and family, taking photos of the illuminated skyline, and enjoying Sydney Harbour at its most scenic time of day.

    • Upgrade to a 90-minute small-group Heaven cruise with a grazing platter, or choose the Kirralee catamaran experience with a maximum of 30 passengers and BYO drinks.

  • Sightsee Sydney Harbour at sunset on a 60 or 90-minute cruise, with snacks and a complimentary drink included.

    Getting started

    Arrive at the designated wharf for boarding and step onto your Sydney Harbour cruise vessel. Settle into your spot on deck or in the cabin as the crew gives a short safety briefing. Once everyone is ready, the boat departs the dock and heads onto the harbour as the sun begins to set.

    What to expect

    Your experience is a sightseeing cruise on Sydney Harbour, timed for sunset so you can watch the city change from daylight to evening from the water.

    Features

    • Flexible cruise durations: Spend 60 or 90 minutes on the water, depending on the option selected, giving you time to relax and take in Sydney Harbour sunset views.

    • Views of iconic Sydney landmarks: See key harbour landmarks from the water, including the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and the city skyline as the light changes.

    • Snacks served on selected cruises: Enjoy grazing platter snacks on board when included with your option, so you can nibble while you cruise.

    • Complimentary drinks on board: Sip on one complimentary beverage, such as wine, beer, soft drink or water as per the option selected, with additional beverages available to purchase on board.

    • Small group and limited-capacity options: Join a small group cruise on Heaven for the “Small Group Sunset Harbour Cruise with Grazing Platter and Drinks” option, or sail with a maximum of 30 passengers aboard Kirralee on the “Sunset & Sparkle Harbour Cruise” option.

    • BYO drinks on selected cruises: Choose the “Sunset & Sparkle Harbour Cruise” if you prefer the flexibility to bring your own alcoholic drinks, which can be enjoyed on board with no corkage fees.

    Wrapping up

    As the cruise returns to the dock, capture final harbour photos at dusk before disembarking. Choose between a 1-hour happy hour-style cruise with complimentary drinks, a 90-minute small group Heaven cruise with grazing platter snacks, or a relaxed 1-hour Kirralee cruise with BYO alcoholic drinks.
