The monthly buffet is outstanding - a selection of seafood, salads and a Carvery followed by the most amazing deserts. There's also a more informal restaurant on the lower levels which is heaving on a Friday night after twilight sailing in summer.

If the weather is right, this makes for a perfect way to spend a weekend afternoon. My friends organised a sailing adventure for a birthday and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate. We left from Rushcutters Bay and set out on a four-hour charter for $400 an hour, but with a group of 30 it didn't add up to too much each. The 33-foot catamaran was spacious and even included a BBQ, a spot to keep our beers cold and an audio system to plug in the iPod. We sailed around the harbour for a while, then paused for a swim and lunch. We went in January so it was blue skies and biting sun, and we docked that afternoon a shade darker and a lot happier. I couldn't believe it had taken me so long to sign up for a harbour cruise, but now I'm pretty much finding any excuse to organise another... Sydney Mainsail were excellent. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and I'd definitely hire them again.

It's spectacular and a great way to see the harbour in the early morning and watching the sun come out. Paul and Grace our guides were excellent and friendly and gave us lots of information along the way. Loved watching the sun come out and it's a gentle and relatively easy process with coffee in hand :-) thanks guys it was a memorable experience and something we will repeat with visitors.

Absolutely brilliant. These guys offer a sunrise kayak in the harbour, starting just before sunrise…read morewhen the waters are calmer and there are only a few ferries and other water craft around. This allows for a paddle under the harbour bridge and towards the opera house. Starting point is very central in Lavender Bay (close to Lunar Park and Milsons Point train station). The fee includes a large number of photos and an excellent coffee, which you can sip while floating on Sydney Harbour. Excellent safety briefing and you get your own very stable kayak. Suitable for novices and fun enough for the experienced kayakers. I want to go again... despite the 5:20 am start.

A fabulous day with Andrew on Sydney Harbour Boat Tours. Andrew was very specific about what we…read morewere going to do and how it would play into our day. He picked us up from our hotel at the exact moment he said he would. He is personable and truly wants to make his customers happy. Onboard, we talked about where we were from, showed it on a map, and just generally relaxed with the others we were on the cruise with. We started out by cruising out of Rose Bay, seeing all the 'rich and famous' homes, then going to see the incredible fish market and having lunch on the boat from food from the fish market, then going up to Manly and walking the path to the beach. My girlfriend got in the water here. Then off to a private beech that could only be reached by boat and we played around with a ball, went swimming in the ocean, lolled around relaxing, Andrew is not only easy on the eyes, but an incredible business man, community-builder among the participants. He's really a great guy. We saw so much of Sydney Harbour that we had never seen before - he kept us regaled in stories of events that had happened (both current and historical) - it was an unforgettable day. My ONLY suggestion to Andrew would be to sign up with some sort of answering/booking service so that he doesn't have to constantly answer his phone and deal with folks like one of the previous contributors here. Simply - get an answering/ booking service so you can concentrate on your day by day customers and don't end up with nasty reviews. I would highly recommend that he be extremely clear about what pier/what time passengers should be where. Waiting for nimrod passengers who are in the wrong place at the wrong time is not good. This is an awesome day; one that every first time visitor to Sydney should take. You will learn a lot and have a fun/relaxing day with a babe-alicious guy on a wonderful little boat. Just do it!

Empire Marina have won numerous business awards for their services and management such as the MIAA…read moreMarina of the Year Award 2011-2012. As the marina is situated in Bobbin Head, it is therefore only a quick trip up the river and you're cruising down the Hawkesbury!

As well as all the history associated with this particular bay, this place is great if you're into…read moreyour watersports. Located right next to the main runway at Sydney International Airport, Botany Bay is inhabited by all sorts of water-based sports enthusiasts. Everyone from sailors to kayakers to kite surfers take up residence here, and when the wind picks up there's even more of them (although not so much the kayakers, the waves can get a bit choppy). I recently went out on a friend's boat, and it really is a great place to be out on the water, especially if you're like me and very much enjoy being so close to the planes landing and taking off! Nothing quite like the sight of a 747 a few feet above your head as your sailing along! It's also a fantastic place to watch a sunset from as it goes down right near the skyline of the CBD, creating an awesome silhouette of the city. The beach bordering the bay stretches all the way from Brighton-le-Sands down to Dolls Point, along The Grand Parade, and there are various car parks along the way for you to park up and sort your equipment out!
