Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Dave and his team are sensational. My family are visiting Sydney this week from overseas and our day out yesterday on TooUp has been their favourite day yet!
He tailor made the experience to suit us. Dave accommodated our children by making them all hot chocolates with marshmallows but also catered to my parents by giving history and lots of facts about all the sites we saw along the way.
It was an amazing day out and will use TooUp Sailing again. Highly recommend.

A fabulous night. Boat very well equiped to enjoy Vivid, bean bags, cushions, and blankets to keep us warm. Food was way beyond expectations as was the service from Jane and Dave. Highly recommend for families with younger children as well, the boat is very stable and has great space inside and out.

We had a wonderful evening on TooUp Sailing to enjoy the sights of Vivid. The hospitality, delicious catering and knowledge and professionalism of Dave & Cat made for a most memorable night.

We had the pleasure of jumping onboard with Dave for an overnighter on his 41 foot Catamaran. The purpose of this was to get a feel for what it might be like to live aboard a "cat" and what it took to get this machine sailing along. Dave was in every respect a fantastic host and teacher, made us feel at home for the two days and nothing was to much effort. We ran through all the drills of hoisting a dropping sails, plenty of practise pulling up next to docks and fuel wharf's, which for some can be daunting. Anchoring was part of this and again this gave us confidence in dropping the "pick" and retrieving it, very simple if you follows Dave's instructions.
Dave has these cards he brings out to challenge your boat knowledge, wow they sure do that, gets a good few laughs out of everyone...
We also enjoyed gourmet foods and the wine was first class once we were securely on a mooring for the overnighter.
Definitely a must do if you want to get into a catamaran or even just a day / few hours on the water for a bit R&R, great service.
Thanks Dave, see you for the Vivid Cruise we booked with you, also looking forward to those canapés P&M

I never got to meet Dave or see the boat, but I must share the extremely positive customer service.
Late last year I booked a private cruise with friends to celebrate the birthday of an older gentleman, with lots of special requests. Dave responded promptly, discussed the somewhat unusual schedule and routes I requested and came up with a wonderful plan.
Unfortunately, due to personal reasons of the gentleman, the planned cruise couldn't go ahead. I am extremely happy that Dave understood my situation and fully refunded the deposit.
I will most definitely turn to Dave for the next harbour cruise event. I cannot recommend his customer service highly enough.

Very Happy with the cruise that i went on on Friday. Although it was a bit fresh, there was ample in/outdoor seating for all of us, Very happy with catering and alcohol (an non-alcoholic) beverages supplied. Dave altered the route so that we could enjoy some extra calm waters with less wind. Highly recommended

Hi Shari,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and review, you are right it was chilly in the wind so I was happy to find a secluded mooring for your charter.
Thanks again for joining us
