We hired a cruise for a party with 40-50 people on the Captain Cook II. At $96 a head (not including drinks), the group combined paid between $3.9k-$4.8k for entry and a buffet dinner. The boat wasn't fantastic, the tables and chairs were too close together, making getting in and out to access the buffet difficult and annoying. The dinner... More

We took 80 Special Children and thier families on board for a day crusing around Sydney Harbour and they had a blast! The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic for adults and for the children. This is our second year holding this event and we will continue for years to come. More

We chartered Aussie Legend Catamaran for 50th birthday/reunion and we all had such a fantastic day on your beautiful Sydney Harbour.

I used Matilda cruises for the all day hop-on hop-off rocket explorer service as this was offered through my travel agent. I found it to be a good service to see most of Sydney Harbour from the water. The tour starts at Darling Harbour, goes to Circular Quay, Taronga Zoo, Shark Island, Watson's Bay, Circular Quay again, Luna Park before... More

Don't waste your money on a Matilda Lunch Cruise. Way overpriced, and the food was not very good. Shrimp were very bland and unseasoned. Most of the buffet items were cold by the time I got to my table with them. The best part of the meal was the bread rolls. I suggest taking the Captain Cook Harbor Tour and... More
