This is a wonderful way to treat yourself and make the most of Sydney’s crown jewel; the glittering waters of the harbour. Here are some different ideas for Sydney harbour cruises during December, January and February: Lunchtime cruise When the sun is out, you can get a great view of the harbour and surrounding foreshores during the day. Bring a hat and order catering so you can relax without having to lift a finger. Your private vessel includes speakers so you can set the scene with some cool beats. Most boats also have space below deck that allows you to cool off if you need to. Cruising at this time of day is ideal for families with children. 
Dinner/sunset cruise Sydney delivers some spectacular sunsets during the summer months. The advantage of cruising at twilight is that you’re out of the direct heat. An evening cruise is very romantic or can be a lovely way to show off the harbour to out of town guests. You’re in for a real treat; the lights of the city are so beautiful at night. Hire a vessel for two like the vintage-look La Dolce Vita, or upgrade to a larger vessel like a catamaran and head out on the water with friends.

Dinner sunset cruise on Sydney Harbour[/caption] A sailing adventure Want to be more hands on and experience the thrill of ‘flying’ in a boat? As well as booking a private Sydney harbour cruise, you can hire a sailboat and go at a faster pace. So many people live in Sydney but never get to experience the harbour in such an up close and personal way. Give it a try for a birthday, workplace outing or family adventure. Set sail on the Sundancer with up to 50 friends, colleagues or family members, or experience luxury on the Sir Thomas Sopwith, with your own skipper and crew (be sure to relax on the daybed).
