Lovely trip out for special birthday lunch! - LOVED this! Took a trip out for lunch for a friend's 40th birthday and it was wonderful. Simple but fresh and tasty meals, a different perspective of the city and soo many photos ops. We were able to roam about freely the whole time,though we did have perfect weather. Captain's commentary was informative AND funny. Very experienced. Service was relaxed but friendly and competent. Even whipped up a dessert for my friend after we forgot to mention earlier we wanted one. Going under the Tasman bridge was fun and pretty sure we saw a seal. Maybe it was Neil on his adventures?
Highly recommend if you like being on the water and want to go nicely and leisurely.
1.5hr time frame was perfect!

Loved the old boat cruise over the Derwent - Old Toshiba boat, very antique feel, if you want to spend a laid back evening along the Derwent, listening to apt commentary, and fresh sea food, this is a must.

Well worth the money. - What a great trip. We took the hour and a half cruise with lunch included. Informative, witty, commentary from the Captain. Food was lovely, well cooked, good selection. Gorgeous old boat, beautiful scenery. The Captain pointed out points of interest and historical facts. You can sit inside downstairs or upstairs or undercover at the back.
All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Very reasonable price for the experience.
