Mark was absolutely magnificent and helped a really special evening run perfectly. His boat was immaculate. The day wouldn’t have been as memorable without him. His communication before and during the boat trip was brilliant too, alongside his advice. Thanks for everything, Mark!

Perfect way to combine a 21st celebration, seeing Sydney’s waterside highlights and having a bit of fun. Mark was charming, knowledgable and flexible, the boat classically handsome, comfortable and with a good turn of speed, and the whole package great value.
I've spent all my life on the water. I've worked at marine rescue in Sydney and have driven those bright Yellow Water Taxis - meeting some very interesting individuals along the way. I know the Harbour like the back of my hand and love every moment I am out there. I can't wait to show you the beautiful sights of Sydney, something that you can only truly appreciate from the water.
