According to the website, the boat was supposed to navigate into the exclusive zone: liar, it was not, and we were pushed far away from the bridge by the police. No other options to seat down, unless you paid an additional fee for $50 pp. Of course, that was not mentioned on the website. The DJ’s was a nightmare, the atmosphere was terrible, morne, sad, gloomy, almost nobody was motivated to dance. Having paid $600 pp is a scam Only the staff was nice.

Great experience, best view possible with constant work of John, he did a fantastic job. His wife Lynne prepared an amazing dinner. The only thing was that the boat felt like it was at it‘s max capacity so 10 people less would be better so everyone can get a comfortable seat. View of the fireworks was amazing!

It was a wonderful evening on the Sydney Harbor. We were a family of 5. 3 adult children. The old tall sail was fabulous. When they first approached to pick us up I was concerned about the seating, but there was plenty of room. The food was good, but if you don't eat meat, perhaps bring a snack. They did provide veggie items later in the evening. Hospitality was wonderful. Everyone was so kind. Bring a sweater because it can get cold. Definitely a fantastic way to see the fireworks and get to know people and have fun. There was a performer singing great hits from 70s and 80s and some dancing too. Highly recommend it.

This truly checked off a top item on my bucket list. John maneuvered the boat so that we had a front row view of the New Years fireworks over the Harbor Bridge. In addition, the food was abundant and tasty, and there was champagne, wine, and beer flowing freely for those who wanted it. It was an experience I will never forget!

eddykpaxtourstravel

John would have top be one of the most experienced skippers on Sydney Harbor. He maneuvered Sydney Sundancer right at the start of the fireworks. Lynne put on an incredible spread of Oysters, Ham, turkey, salmon, salads and the Bollinger flowed freely all night

Jamtraveltips

My husband and I agreed that 2019/2020 would be our year for a New Year’s Eve celebration in Sydney. We booked a cruise on the sailing yacht, Sydney Sundancer through Luxury Yacht Charter. Their website promised uninterrupted views of the world’s best fireworks with a restricted amount of people on their sailing yacht, the Sydney Sundancer. This is exactly what we were looking for! And it's exactly what they delivered. All of our contact with the owners, Lynne and John Boyce, were so pleasant, and they kept us updated by email until boarding time. This is a once in a lifetime experience. The food, the company and the fireworks were fantastic!

Highlight of 2019 was being on a boat in Sydney harbour on New Years Eve and watching the incredible fireworks display. Fabulous and definitely worth the long trip providing you see more of this great country..

tim26sanders2020

Amazing experience. If you want to see the best views and avoid sitting on a hill all day waiting and don't want to be a bigger boat with what that brings, then this is it. Boat meanders across the harbour and moors in a great spot for the two firework displays. The food was amazing quality and the drinks flowed. The weather let us down slightly with strong winds for while, but that happens. There wasn't massive guest interaction but that's nobody's fault and pot luck who is on your evening.

This was a fantastic evening under difficult circumstances. John and Lynne could not have done more to make us feel welcome. The view of the fireworks was second to none, even if we did have to put up a fight to keep our spot! Thanks to John and Lynne for doing this. The wind was very strong and I was amazed how the staff just carried on regardless. The standard of food was really very good and there was no shortage of drink throughout the evening. A memorable evening !

This was a great way to see in a new decade. John, Lynne and their staff were gracious hosts and did everything to make the evening wonderfully special. Our position was perfect and this was definitely a New Year's Eve to remember.
