Client Reviews

Brian Walsh - Executive Direction of Television @ FOXTEL

Our experience on board Dreamtime completely exceeded our expectations! Smart Cruiser Sydney have provided an incredibly thorough service from beginning to end and created an amazing day for my guests with beautiful décor, amazing food and personalised service from staff on board. We will be keeping Smart Cruiser Sydney’s details on file and be booking them for another “money can’t buy” experience on Sydney Harbour!”

The Boat:

A truly timeless craft, the MV Bennelong has the charm and elegance that only an all-timber vessel can offer. At over 80 feet in length, she has large viewing decks for the ultimate in 360 degree views. With its open rear deck flowing through into the cabin, the MV Bennelong offers a rare versatility for large groups in either cocktail format or seated formal dining – accommodating 130 and 80 guests respectively. In addition, there’s also an expansive upper deck offering open air cruising for guests who want uninterrupted views of Sydney Harbour’s landmarks. The vessel also boasts modern AV facilities including a large flat-panel TV screen and surround sound system with iPod connectivity.

  • Sit down formal dinner – up to 80 guests
  • Lots of space and comfort inside and out
  • Good range of substantial menus
