“Excellent Cruise!”

My parents recently went on a cruise with Vagabond. They do not have a computer, but would like to pass on their compliments. They said that "Cruising with Vagabond was a pleasure. The food was fresh and delicious. The weather was beautiful and this made our experience even better. Thank you for a great cruise!"

“Disappointed with the New Years Eve Cruise after paying $600+”

Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Tackling the festive crowd to get to our pick up at the Commissioners Steps at Circular Quay was expected on the busiest night of the year. However the party of 10+ that held the boat up an hour or so later at the unscheduled pick up was disturbing for all. The captain did his best to accommodate the group who... More

“Great coffee tour”

Reviewed 13 November 2011 via mobile

Boat ride/tour was amazing. Sydney harbour is truly best experienced on the water. Cheaper than Captain Cook and less crowded. Vagabond is the way to go.

“Best value in town”

Reviewed 3 June 2011

This Sydney harbour lunch cruise is not only one of the most informative of the cruises with delicious gourmet food, but the best value of all. We could not have asked for better service, food, or commentary, which provided 2 hours of relaxed ambience aboard a great vessel, well maintained and extremely comfortable. Well done, we shall definitely recommend you... More

I realize your review was written over a year ago, however we at Vagabond have just recently begun managing our listing on Tripadvisor. We don’t like to leave our complaints going unanswered and we feel the same about the review you posted even though it was last year. The ticket price of $495per person is definitely a lot of money... More

Vagabond have the best priced cruise of he harbour - it includes a nice lunch during the 2 hours - for only $65.. They give a commentary along the way. Suggest you wait for a sunny day in Sydney to get the nicest views. What a beautiful city !
