★★★★★
We just finished an incredible 4-hour luxury catamaran charter and it was easily the highlight of our time in Sydney! You truly haven't seen the Sydney Opera House or the Harbour Bridge until you've sailed right past them on a private deck.

Couldn't have had a better afternoon! Celebrating a 21st with family from the USA, what a way to see beautiful Sydney. Beau made sure we saw every special part of the harbour. It truly was a memory we will all cherish.

We had a fantastic sail around Sydney Harbour last night! There were 7 of us celebrating birthdays and it was a memorable evening. A great way to see Vivid without the crowds.
