About this tour
Glide across Sydney Harbour for an hour aboard the elegant MV BEL, a Venetian-style motor cruiser built locally. Watch the Opera House and Bridge light up against the darkened sky, their reflections dancing across the water. Wrap yourself in a blanket with complimentary sparkling wine while the city settles into evening. Your skipper will position the boat at prime vantage points so you can capture the scene, and you're welcome to bring your own food and drink to extend the experience.

What to expect
You'll board a beautifully maintained motor cruiser designed to evoke Venetian style—intimate and refined rather than a typical harbour tour boat. The one-hour journey circles key Sydney landmarks as darkness falls, allowing you to witness the transition from dusk to night. The skipper knows the best angles and will hold position so everyone gets clear shots of the illuminated cityscape. Bring layers; you'll be on the water and it cools down once the sun sets. The boat operates regardless of weather, so dress appropriately for conditions.
Good to know
