Client Reviews
Amazing service, and extremely helpful staff. Justine provided me with a thorough guide to the possible boats that would fit my requirements, and was in constant communication with me regarding my many questions. She was happy to provide any information I needed, and was extremely accomodating. The boat was a perfect way to celebrate my 21st, and I will definitely be using Smart Cruiser in the future.

Smart cruiser hands down is the best company to book any boat hire! Marc went above and beyond to ensure I find the perfect vessel for my event! I had celebrated my 25th on the Enigma vessel and not only was the boat absolutely stunning but the crew itself (David) were so amazing and accommodating! I will surely be going through Smart Cruiser to book any private boat hire in the future! I have already recommended this company and also the Enigma boat to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Marc for ensuring my event went off without a hitch! Cannot fault!! 100/10 !!! - Florence

Everyone loved the boat experience, definitely received a standing ovation for organisation from start to finish! Thank you to Justine at Smart Cruises for all her hard work and for answering every question under the sun!Billy and the boys from Hoochie Mumma were great hosts. Nothing was too troublesome for them. A quote from one of my co-workers "Food cooked to perfection by Billy". The karaoke was a hit as well!I will definitely be recommending your services to all my friends and family.

Thank you, Justine!You were so wonderful to work with, I really appreciate your speedy action and turn around time to ensure my team had a fantastic celebration.

The drop off in Manly was perfect!Again, really appreciate you helping me to set this up.

Opal Bhradmeung
This is second time Marc organized a harbour cruise for me and my guests, and after a great first experience couple of years ago for a corporate event, this one was for a personal occasion (birthday) and the team at Smart Cruiser once again overdelivered. Competitive prices, flexibility, responsiveness, clear communication... everything was done to take the pressure off my back and as the organizer of this event, I couldn't have asked for better advice or better service. Already looking forward to my 3rd experience with Marc and his team ! Highly recommended.
Thomas Dexmier
Had a great experience on their colonial boat "Southern Swan" in late August. Justine was great to work with, being very flexible and accommodating when organising the boat. 3 hours of fun for a group of 40 in a corporate event, with mast climbing and laser clay shooting. Everyone had a good time and crew were friendly and served food and alcohol as well. Will definitely recommend to all!

bonnie donovan
We would like to thank Smart Cruisers for their professional and exceptional service with coordinating the vessels on our wedding day.Mon Cheri was just beyond words - Rodney was a great skipper who ensured that we were delivered to the jetty on time in a safe and enjoyable manner. Nothing was a problem for him and the vessel itself was in immaculate condition.Coast catamaran was the perfect vessel for the cocktails and Harbour cruise. They were extremely attentive, diligent and ensured all guests embarked and disembarked safely. The skipper also made sure the vessel was travelling at an enjoyable speed so it wasn't too turbulent and Kate (owner) was the perfect host on the vessel ensuring that all waiters looked after all the guests. Once again – thank you for the enjoyable experience and we look forward to using Smart Cruisers next time we are back in Sydney for any other events.
Michael Rossi
Exceptional service! Made my 21st an enjoyable experience.
VICTOR LI
We hired the Catamaran for 20 people for a 4 hour cruise for my birthday - was absolutely awesome (even when it rained) - really impressed with the boat, crew and also booking it with Marc was super easy! Highly recommend these guys if you're looking for a cool harbour cruise! Only issue was it wasn't long enough! 😛
Mark Taylor

Was organising an office event and needed a boat in two weeks' time! Having spoken to Marc, one could see that he was super passionate about what he does. He was super helpful throughout the entire process, right till the last minute. Would highly recommend Smart Cruiser for anyone looking for an efficient service.

We hired the Sydneysider for the afternoon. The crew were fantastic and took care of everything which made my job of hosting 45 people a lot easier. Very prompt communication to arrange the booking. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful Private Bucks party over the weekend. The organisation and inclusions were amazing. We were never left without a reply, given the best available rates in comparison to other cruises in Sydney. Very flexible with payment too. Had an awesome time!
Sahan Attanayake
I have hired boats from Marc at Smart Cruisers 3 times now and the service from him and also the team on board the boats has been 100% every time. We went on board the Rum Runner in December and had the best time, I would highly recommend them!

We used Smart Cruiser for our team Xmas party and we had an amazing time! The staff took great care of us and everything from inquiring about the boat offers to booking and getting on the boat went super smoothly thanks to their great communication. I highly recommend Smart Cruiser to anyone who wants to book a boat trip in the harbour whether be for a company or a private function.
amaysim Australia Ltd
I am so glad we found Marc and his team at Smart Cruiser. If it wasn't for him, my CEO would not have named this Christmas Party the best one he has ever had in the 20+ years our company has been trading. Everything went super well, the weather was beautiful, lovely views and excellent boat decor. All staff enjoyed tremendously and are still raving about how amazing the party was. This wasn't possible without Marc's fantastic customer service and prompt responses to all the concerns I had. He made it easy for me and not once did I stress in the process of planning. I highly recommend these services, I promise they will not disappoint. Thank you so much again, Marc and your team... you guys are awesome!

We had the best time on the boat, and I cannot stress that enough. From the booking process right through to being on the boat, we had the most amazing experience and I will 100% be booking again/referring friends to smart cruiser. During our cruise the Skipper and staff were patient, professional and seriously fun. Handled a group of 30, 20 year golds really well and weren't fun sponges! 10/10 cant wait to book again.
Ella Kotlowski
Smart Cruiser Sydney great experience, everyone loved it.Crew were amazing especially Tony who worked his magic and butt off the whole afternoon.We could not be happier and will recommend them to everyone.Thankyou Smart Cruiser Sydney!

Can't recommend enough . Justine is so easy to work with and very accommodating. Our team of 38 had a blast during our annual holiday party on Rum Runner. Clear communication during the entire process and great value for money.
Krn Rgms
Marc and his team had that relaxed professionalism with the attention to detail you want when organising and hosting a party. No request was too much in the lead up, which carried through to the day on the harbour with the crew who made sure every minute was memorable. We were on board Adelina, a stunning and roomy boat that we'd book again in a heartbeat. What a way to celebrate turning 30! Thank you.
Melissa Shedden
Fantastic night and fantastic service, great experience had by all aboard.
Nadia Camacho
Marc from Smart Cruiser was fantastic from the first-time I spoke with him over the phone. He helped me organise two yachts for my family, One World and the Element for NYE. He was always available to answer questions, gave accurate quotes and was such a pleasure to deal with! I would highly recommend Smart Cruiser as it connects with you some of the nicest, most professional yachts on Sydney harbour!
Valerie Boyer
We had an amazing experience on Cruise Cat. Awesome/FUN captains!Thank you Smart Cruiser - We will be back!Kyora Landscapes
Matilda Shearer
A massive thanks to Marc from Smart Cruiser who helped facilitate the event and made it extremely easy for us to organise, and to the crew from the Rum Runner for what turned out to be a fantastic experience. The crew made us feel very welcome in spite of our running a little late and causing a bit of stress around the wharf. They kept the boat clean throughout the trip and made sure that we were safe and looked after without ruining any of the fun. We can’t recommend them highly enough. The business had a brilliant time and really enjoyed our Christmas party.
ASTIA Customer Engagement Centre
Marc from Smart Cruiser has helped me out twice now, once for a work event and the other time for my wedding when I tried to source a James Bond boat as a surprise for my husband. Both times I found him extremely helpful and the events went without a hitch. Marc was always quick to get back to me when I had a million questions and even helped me organise catering for my husband and his groomsmen the day before the wedding. Both of the boats I charted were very different, to suits different budgets and events but Marc explained everything really well, not over selling to me. The boats were even better than our expectations. Both were in great condition with knowledgable crew and on time! I would definately recommend Smart Cruiser to anyone who asks.Leanne
Leanne Panzera
Organised a boat through Marc for my fiance's visit last week. Was fantastic to show her family the view of the harbour from the water. Brilliant, relaxed staff who assisted wherever they could. Competitively priced too so if the need arises again I definitely be contacting Marc again to arrange another booking.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Marc for arranging Aussie Venture for our engagement party. The packaged you recommended worked a treat, the boat was fantastic I loved how we could fit everyone outside but also everyone inside. Angela the DJ was great! she played whatever we wanted and she was also an amazing photographer for us and took some great group shots of everyone. The staff on board were professional and the food was greatCan't praise how the party went any more, my only complaint is I wish we booked it for longer!and thank you Marc for all your help and answering my many questions, you were so professional and helpful 🙂

Natalie Benova
I booked the beautiful catamaran, Varuna through Smart Cruiser Sydney for my 40th birthday and it was the best day I could've asked for.From the start Marc was great with helping me decide on a package for the day with food and drink options and ongoing information on the process and plans for the day.On my actual sail day, the crew on-board were very attentive and accommodating to requests. All my guest had a such a good day, with enough room on board for 34 people to move around freely. The lily pad was awesome! Everyone got in the water! Thanks again Smart Cruiser Sydney for helping me start my 40's with a bang!

Nick and Jacqui Ong
We hired The Pearl from Marc's company and I'd like to thank him for his great organisational skills, his prompt responses to our emails and the attention to detail and flexibility he showed to make the event a tremendous success. The boat was fantastic, the food plentiful and delicious, and the crew marvellous. Should we have another great occasion to celebrate, Marc's company will be our first choice. I'd recommend his company to anyone interested in hiring a boat for a special event:)
Susan Marcus
We had a great time on our cruise. Chris, the skipper, was fantastic. He was just the right amount involved and was very very helpful and hospitable. The boat was also perfect for our group. We had a perfect day!
Jillian Jones
We hired the Inception boat through Smart Cruiser! It couldn't have been a better experience. Marc at SC was fantastic organising everything for us so seamlessly and was very accomodating in the process. The boat was absolutely perfect - fully equipped, great skipper Chris, Clean, Luxurious and a tremendous amount of fun. I would highly recommend SC and the Inception boat!!!
Marley Merton
Everything went tremendously well.The boat arrived on time. Immaculate conditions, both inside and on deck. The two gentleman in charge were very friendly and always accommodating to our requests, such as places to visit and how to use the sound systems etc. A very pleasant experience and I will definitely be using you again. I have just recommended your company to a work colleague and as such, provided your details over as they are interested in renting a boat in the coming months. THANK YOU SMART CRUISER SYDNEY!
Sally Allport
Was a brilliant day out once again. Thank you for arranging and for making it a smooth day. No issues what so ever! Crew were amazing, and really great with not just getting us around on the harbour but also never saw an empty bowl of chips or platter of food as they just kept on top of it all!
Brett Clemenson
Awesome day--lovely boat, friendly staff and crew and very helpful with all the planning and info for the day. Highly recommended!
Travis Jamieson
I was in a bit of a panic in case we weren't able to find the right catamaran for our party but Justine from Smart cruiser was able to get back to me on the exact vessel I wanted. She was very responsive and attended to every question I had. The crew of the One Ocean catamaran were exceptional on the day too! So friendly and very good with the bbq. Highly recommend both this company and the cat.
Joanna Shin
Hired a boat for my friends bucks party. Was a fantastic time and everyone was super helpful to make sure we had a great time. Would highly recommend.
Liam Chang
A few nights ago I had my 40th on board the Element. My expectations were very high and I never thought they would be exceeded but they were! That night will go down as one of the greatest in my life. My friends and I had the most amazing evening. The food was incredible, the service was second to none. I couldn’t fault it one bit. Dealing with Marc and Debbie was amazing they always made sure I was happy with everything. Cooper was an AMAZING Captain my friends and I had so much fun with him and the crew like he was part of the celebrations! Thank you guys for a birthday I will never forget.
David Aridi
100% Satisfaction. Great communication, brilliant crew, comfortable boat, lovely food. Highly recommended!
Romana Garajová
It was such a breeze dealing with Justine from Smart Cruiser to organise our company's Christmas Party. From the minute I showed any interest in any of the charters I received a detailed quote from Justine with a list of boats that she thought would best suit our requirements (large amount of people etc). From there on I had Justine take care of everything which was awesome for me not ever booking a boat party before. The boat itself was incredible and the staff were lovely. We would recommend using Smart Cruiser to anyone thinking of going down the same path with a Christmas Party or any kind of boat charter! Many thanks guys 🙂
Tayla Carter
Excellent customer service. Staff friendly and super professional. We used 'Spectre' for senior clients during an event, an amazing boat which fitted all our client needs, with a fantastic Captain (Justin) and First Mate (Elodie). Would highly recommend.
Tom Womersley
I contacted Marc in a last minute attempt to organise my daughter's 16th bday party. I had contacted a few others beforehand but frustratingly they just never got back to me. With only a few days left I thought it was going to be almost impossible to organise a party with teenagers and carry it off. Marc was fantastic!! He was calm and experienced enough to know that it could be done. We were put on the Bennelong and everything went off without a hitch (although a little bit more cruise time and a little less stationery time would have made it better, but that was in no way a discredit to Marc). I will definitely without a doubt recommend Marc to anyone who is looking to hire a boat without any hassles.
A Kim
Amazing service, wonderful staff, easy communication.Thank you for a great evening!
Elyse Beyer
What a great afternoon/night My Hubby & I had on Aqualuxe, Boat was so beautiful, cruising the Harbour Brilliant..And Chris our Skipper was unreal.

The cruise I booked with Marc and Smart Cruiser Sydney was a huge success, mostly due to Marc's assistance. He was prompt in responding to my queries, professional to work with and knew exactly what we needed after our first conversation. The cruise was the highlight of their trip to Sydney and if I were ever needing to book a cruise in Sydney again, I would have no hesitation in giving Marc a call. Thanks a lot Marc!Linda Cain, PGG Wrightson, Christchurch, New Zealand

Booking with Smart Cruiser was very straightforward - communication and payment was all very easy. Marc was easy to contact and responded very quickly to all of my questions! I have already recommended Smart Cruiser to a number of friends. Our boat was the Cabaret and I cannot recommend that highly enough - the staff were excellent, very attentive and efficient. I will definitely use both Smart Cruiser and Cabaret for future events. Thank you Marc and the Cabaret team!
Beth Adams
Marc and the team at Smart Cruiser arranged a 40th birthday party for us - we had a fabulous afternoon and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Smart Cruiser to organise an event!

Fabulous day on the harbour for my 30th! The crew ensured I also got to enjoy myself and the food and drink was always flowing. Thanks so much Marc and the Smart Cruiser Team! I will definitely be back! 🙂
Bugz
We just had our Christmas Party, everyone said it's best Christmas Party ever. This is first time we throw a party on boat, and I've had zero experience to deal with any cruise agent. Justine Espagne from Smart Cruise Sydney have been very responsive for all the questions I sent over, I think I "spam" her more than 30 emails on all sorts of enquiries. She is responsive and patient and thoroughly explained every single one. The boat is spacious and clean. Skipper and Chef are professional and friendly. If I am going to throw another party on boat, I will definitely choose Smart Cruise Sydney.
Samantha XINJIE ZHANG
Justine is awesome. She listened to all my requirements and got all the things correctly.Easy communication / Boat is on time / friendly skipper :)My team had a great timeHighly recommended.
Sai Vigneswaran S
Hosted my Birthday on the State of the Art yacht and had an amazing experience. Marc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, making the whole booking aspect a breeze.
