Thoroughly enjoyed the three hour cruise in Sydney Harbour with Vagabond Cruises. Of course, Sydney harbour views are so stunning. The live Jazz performers were excellent. Super smooth voice and wonderful mastery of the guitar, not too loud so you can still have conversations. The food was a buffet - slow cooked beef, chicken, prawns, natural oysters, salmon and delish salads and veggies - yum. We were on the old boat and we could open the windows and get the sea breeze in. There was a deck out the front and an upstairs room and deck out the back - so plenty of room. Staff were young, friendly and competent. Price is great for the length of time you are out enjoying the views, food and music. Cruised along quite slowly. A suggestion would be, if you could go a bit faster, is there scope to head to the heads and or wander under ANZAC bridge as well? I think that would be amazing. So very worth while.

Thank you to Vagabond Cruises for the best 60th birthday Jazz lunch cruise - the Jazz band was AMAZING and the staff, food and ambiance could not have been better. My guests LOVED every minute of it and the only complaint was "The Trip was too short" ... they did not want the party to end. Thank you RITU for your incredible service, such a pleasure to deal with you and your beautiful staff on the boat - a special thanks to Mishy who found a way to ensure the cruise was magic to the last detail.

An absolute brilliant day. The weather was on our side, a beautiful day on Sydney Harbour. There was 13 of us we had 2 tables right at the entrance which suited our group. The food was delicious and fresh, highly recommend. Half of us got the premium drink package and the other half got the soft drink package. Brilliant service by all staff members. Highly recommended 👌🏽

We celebrated New Year’s Eve on a Vagabond Cruises boat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.🥹 The crew was super kind, professional, and always in a great mood. My fav waitress is definitely Lena!🌟You could really feel the positive energy throughout the whole evening. The vibe, the service, and the setting were just perfect. Would definitely do it again!🎆

What a fabulous night! I celebrated my birthday with my besties on the Latin Fiesta Dinner Cruise and we had an incredible time! The crew were fantastic—thank you, Daniella, for your warm welcome and for reminding us of the wonderful spirit of the Venezuelan people. The food was abundant, fresh, and delicious, and the entertainment was so lively, fun, and inclusive. The DJ was the absolute BEST—we haven’t danced that much in ages! There was a great variety of music to suit all tastes, and every request was happily fulfilled. And of course, the views of the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Luna Park and the bay were spectacular. I 100% recommend this experience, and we’re already planning to come back next year!
