  Was a beautiful day, glorious sunset on the harbour. Ship was full of charm, bbq was good. Champange at sunset under sail on a near 100 year old ship, just beautfiul.

  Beautiful day, the crew were very helpful, friendly and informative. What could be better than being under sail on Sydney harbour.

  Despite the rain, the outing was very very enjoyable despite the wet and cold weather. The crew and other passengers made the day.

  The weather was dreadful but we still had a great day. The ship was very steady and safe and really interesting. Jess, our hostess, was courteous and professional and made sure that all our needs (staying dry, etc.) were covered. Lunch was very nice and there was plenty of food for all. We are planning to book another Tall Ship cruise in the future and hope to pick a sunny day next time.

  It was not the brightest of days to go out on the Harbour. Imagine grey skies, rain falling and wet feet. This did not deter any of the 'would be' sailors and we trooped on board. The crew provided the sunshine in the day as they did all to make our trip enjoyable. Crew, food and company were all great. A fantastic experience!

  I chose this BBQ lunch on the Southern Swan as a shared family Christmas present. Seeing that our children are now in their twenties and all very busy it was a great opportunity to spend time together doing something special that we would all remember. I wasn't disappointed.. We all had a lovely afternoon. There was plenty of well cooked and tasty food and the staff were very pleasant and accommodating.

  My guests and I had a delightful day out on the harbour on your Tall Ship. Although the weather was a little chilly, it was fun being up on deck and looking out at the magnificent view of the city. We were pleased that you put the sails up and not just motored around.

  It was just fantastic. I have already told many people about RedBalloon, and now telling them how great the Tall Ship cruise was. Hoping to go again in future. Also recommending a RedBalloon voucher as a group present for someone at work. Very happy, Thanks.

  The cruise was a day I will remember for some time - the crew were friendly and cheerful, and the food was tasty and plenty of it, though served a little later than I had expected - but that didn't spoil the the wonderful experience.

  It was a great deal - favourable price and value for money. The crew were very pleasant. All in all a good experience for myself and my elderly parents who were very well looked after. (I had given them the Tall Ship & lunch voucher for a Christmas present). The wonderful Sydney weather was an added bonus!

  We had a very enjoyable trip and BBQ lunch on a most fantastic harbour. We participated in "setting the sails' by holding on to or pulling the ropes given to us by the crew. The crew were very cheerful and helpful making everyone feel welcome. Our day was enhanced by Sydney "putting on" a beautiful day.
