      Relaxing Boat trip around the Sydney Harbou.
      Our 6:00pm boat cruise was relaxing and enjoyable. No noisy big crowds and our captain Steven was accomdating and friendly. My only suggestion is that there should be a little bit more comentary on the sights around the harbor.

      Something Special
      We couldn't have chosen a more perfect way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. MV Bel is something special and incredibly comfortable and spacious. James, our captain for the evening, was extremely personable, knowledgeable and the most wonderful host. To be able to see the beautiful Sydney Harbour from such a unique perspective is incredible, particularly when paired with a bottle of sparkling wine and charcuterie. Highly recommend.

      Excellent
      We enjoyed our 90 minute cruise yesterday. As the weather was forecast to be wet and windy, the company rang me the day prior to say that we would be upgraded to the larger boat MS Inception at no extra charge. We were very glad for this as it was a much more comfort trip and a lovely boat. James was our captain and was good fun. This was a great experience which we all enjoyed. Well done!

      Amazing experience- do I!
      We had a lovely time cruising around the harbour sipping champagne and relaxing. My husband is from Sydney but had never done anything like that and he loved it. We were allowed to pilot the boat under the Harbour Bridge which was amazing and a real highlight of our holiday.

      Didn't have to wait for any guest. Went where we wanted to go and Martin was welcoming and informative about the local sights of Sydney harbour. Would definitely recommend SLC.

      Very disappointed. I suspect under-resourcing to counter losses due to COVID 19. My disappointment was caused by the actions of the Company Board unless it can be shown otherwise and not by the crew who were obviously working under restricting conditions.

      What a great day on the water! Glenn was amazing and made for an exceptional experience. Would strongly recommend this for a trip around the harbour. Thank you Glenn for helping with my proposal. Will never forget it!

      Operator Refunded Only When The Bank Got Involved
      My wife and I booked this cruise during our honeymoon however unfortunately due to weather, the cruise was canceled. The operator Glenn, confirmed the day of the cancellation via text that a refund would be processed that same day (3/2/20) but that did not occur. It took us almost 3 months to resolve the issue and below is the timeline. *2/20/20 = Booked the event and paid. *3/2/20 = Glenn the operator promised to provide a refund and would process it this day. *3/18/20 = Refund not received so I contacted Glenn, Glenn stated he processed the refund but will check into it and get back to me. *3/20/20 = I contacted Glenn because he never got back to me from the 3/18 text. Glenn stated the refund bounced and would process it again. *4/19/20 = I contacted Glenn because the refund was still not received. *4/20/20 = I contacted Glenn again because of no response from me reaching out on 4/19. *4/26/20 = I contacted Glenn again because of no response from the 4/19 and 4/20 texts. *4/28/20 = Glenn responds and states the refund keeps bouncing and that he no longer has my credit card information. Glenn then asks if I could receive a refund by PayPal which I said yes and I provided my PayPal information. *5/17/20 = We still have not received a refund so my wife files a claim with Chase to dispute the transaction. Chase contacts the vendor/operator to resolve. *5/28/20 = Chase resolves the dispute and credits the entire amount. *6/9/20 = I wrote a negative review on the experience because I was not aware my wife filed the dispute on 5/17 and it was resolved on 5/28. *6/10/20 = The operator Glenn texts me, is not happy about the review I wrote and will confirm the refund. Glenn provides an update and screenshot of the refund issued on 5/26/20. *6/11/20 = Brad confirms, deletes original review and writes this one. In summary, we weren't able to receive a refund until our bank pressed the vendor/operator. Glenn was always nice when he communicated but this ordeal was never a priority.

      Amazing view of Sydney harbour and surrounding areas!
      Tom from this cruise was Brilliant! He gave us a comfortable and classy view of Sydney's iconic harbour. Tom skilfully navigated from upclose to our hotel, all the way to the restaurant! The small wood cruiser was beautifully looked after and was extremely welcoming. There were complementary drinks and you get to choose your music. Definitely bring a camera and don't bother with a raincoat, you don't get wet at all. Tom was well versed on the geography of Sydney and it was an all round great experience! Thanks tom really appreciated it!

      We joined Captain Glenn at darling harbour with its smart & classy teak wood cruiser and cruised around the harbour for two hours; It was time quite well spent ! Captain Glenn was very nice, friendly and accomodating. We had a bottle of "champagne" with cheese. It was a super experience which gave us a good idea of sydney. we would encourage everyone else to do .

      Best After Work Activity
      We went on the boat with a group of 6. Awesome to see the city from the water. We went around the eastern suburbs for a bit before going to the north side of Sydney. Really good service on the most beautiful boat on the Sydney harbour. Highly recommend going for this service when you are looking for something to do with a small group.

      Cruising Sydney Harbour !
      We joined Captain Glenn for a delightful time aboard his smart & classy teak wood cruiser to get an upclose & informative view of Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Icons ! It was time quite well spent ! Captain Glenn was most knowledgable about the buildings , parks , landmarks & folklore tales that went along with the growth & expansion of Sydney Harbour over the years. He infused interesting historical facts and numerical data concerning Sydney and poured us tasty bubbling Brut to add to the adventure ! It was a treat that I'm delighted that we took & would encourage everyone else to do .

      Luxe cruise on Sydney Harbour!
      We had the most amazing experience on the ‘Bel’. We docked at circular quay and cruised around the harbour for one hour- the private icons harbour cruise. The boat itself is so beautiful and handles the harbour really well. Glenn the captain was so lovely, friendly and accommodating- he happily rescheduled our cruise due to poor weather. We had a bottle of lovely bubbles to share whilst we cruised around too. It was such a special, unforgettable experience. Thanks so much Glenn and Sydney Luxury cruises!

    We took a two hour cruise around the harbour and had a great time. Glenn was a great guide and the cheese and champagne a perfect touch to accompany the tour. All the amazing sights and the best photo opportunities.

    Absolutely amazing and relaxing cruise! There is certainly nothing better than to be able to see Sidney Harbour in the comfort of your “own” private boat! Very friendly captain Glen picked us up from the designated pick up point, proceeded to offer some champagne and the cruise began without delays. My almost 7 year old absolutely loved it! Plenty of room to sit back and relax and more importantly to take as many photographs of (in our case) Sydney Opera House and Harbour. Would absolutely recommend this cruise!

    We have just spent the afternoon on board a fabulous luxury motor cruiser with Glenn the best captain you could imagine. Not only did we visit all parts of the harbour but we were regaled with interesting info and more than catered for with bubbly and nibbles. What an upmarket way to spend a couple of hours.
