Lovely harbour cruise

Good commentary. Great views of the city. Interesting story about the bridge and some of the history of the area. Well worth doing.

Lunch Cruise

What a wonderful cruise! All four of us had a fantastic lunch. I had salmon and it was soooo good. Once we finished eating the guys went upstairs. They came back down to tell us that there was commentary by the captain, but we couldn't hear it downstairs. So upstairs we went, and the commentary was very lively and informative. The hour went past so quickly, and we learnt so much. Thank you to the captain and crew as it was a fantastic cruise. Would have given it five stars if we'd been able to hear the commentary as we were eating

Magical Trip

The most entertaining one hour tour of Hobart Harbour celebrating our friends 64th birthday. Such an informative trip. We are locals and had a ball. Highly recommended to all.

Excellent ride aboard the cruise

It was a memorable experience from start to finish. Me and my spouse were warmly welcomed aboard got ourselves settled soon. There were seats on deck and indoors. We also had access to the front of the deck. Throughout the cruise, the captain provided us with valuable information about the history of the area we were cruising through. It was amazing to be on the water, feel its ripples, see the birds in full cry amidst beautiful weather. Thank you team for making our cruise so enjoyable and memorable.
