We had a wonderful experience. All the crew were terrific and made us feel special. Will certainly come again and not hesitate to recommend your group. Thanks to all for your efforts and care.
Thank you for an amazing time aboard your beautiful boat! My guests and i had a fabulous time! The food was nice and the drinks were great! Only downer for us is that it’s not disability friendly. My Nan couldn’t get to and from the toilet on her own. Other than that, FANTASTIC! I'll definitely recommend to others.
Fantastic value for money, and a great way to see Sydney from the water. Highly recommend to others to take the lunch cruise as the food was above expectations and the crew were lovely. Will be spreading the word back in WA to make sure this is on the "must do" list when visiting Sydney - Michael , Karratha, WA.
I used Magistic Cruises to celebrate my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. My expectations were met in every regards and I couldn’t have asked for better and friendlier service. Many of the guests commented on the impeccable service of the staff. All the crew at Magistic made our day a success and on the will be remembered. Thank you!
Just want to applaud the Manager, the Captains and Staff on the ship last night. You were all so kind and helpful. It was my first time on a cruise and it's not the last especially with Magistic Cruises. I will highly recommend to everyone. Thank you once again :)
A big thank you to your team- we had an amazing night. Although the weather wasn't quite what we wanted, the fantastic food, service and music made everyone forget about the rain! The crew were so professional and friendly as well. Thank for making our night so very special- and a special thanks to the DJ, who did a really great job.
I was a guest on the 26 January 2013, Australia Day Magistic Dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour, together with a group of visitors from Adelaide, Brisbane and Germany.
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for the care, generosity and hospitality that we received at every stage of the experience, from the early booking, to organising and making special arrangements, to the wonderful celebration we enjoyed on board.
Because I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating my 60th birthday on Magistic cruises two years ago, with a Dinner Cruise, I was hoping that this trip would be equally enjoyable.
I was not disappointed! Thank You.
I was so proud to share good Australian hospitality with my guests. They said that it was the highlight of their Australian trip.
Not only did we enjoy a beautiful cruise, seeing the sights of Sydney Harbour, but your generosity in preparing both an inside table for eating our dinner, and tables set up on the back deck to accommodate our special request, was far more than we could have anticipated. It was just so special and thoughtful of you.
The waiting staff were pleasant and helpful and made the evening a most pleasant experience.
The variety of food was first class, too!
On behalf of all my guests and myself, I wish to thank you for the wonderful evening and to let you know that if I were to book another Dinner Cruise of Sydney Harbour, it would definitely be with Magistic Cruises.

The bar staff were so friendly and accommodating as well. Very impressed! Food was also really nice- most buffet food on boats can be not fantastic but the food was great!

I have visited Sydney on many occasions and I have travelled to many parts of the world but little could beat the incredibly, exciting experience I had aboard your cruiser on Boxing Day to observe the preparations of the yachts on the harbour, the start of the race and afterwards the gentle cruise around the bays before returning to the Yacht club. I had always wanted to be in Sydney for the start of this great race but to have the opportunity to be aboard your vessel organised by the CYCA was just superb. It was a lovely boat not too crowded, just right - we all could race around and get the fabulous photos shots without falling over each other.
My compliments to Magistic Cruises for the delicious varieties of finger food , the noodle and fish baskets and the trays of fruit to complete the delightful smorgasbord. One cannot forget of course, the array of drinks available. I would particularly like to commend you on your staff. They all appeared to be polite, pleasant and cheerful people. To me the experience was priceless and I truly did have an amazing time on board that day. Of course the atmosphere at the Yacht club prior to the yachts going out onto the harbour was electric and very exciting. I congratulate your company as well as the CYCA for organising the cruising vessel. A very hearty thank you.

I just want to send you an email to show our appreciation for what a WONDERFUL day we had on Saturday 27th of November. I had booked the VIP deck for my Mothers Surprise 70th Birthday Party. I must say we had the absolute best day ever!!! My Mother and my family and my extended family had the time of our lives aboard your boat. The food was magnificent to say the least - a credit to your wonderful Chef, please extend our comments to him.
But the best thing on the day was Robin, our Host who I must say is an absolute credit to your Company,. Nothing was too much trouble for him he was constantly checking to see that all was running smoothly, conversed with all of the guest and even wished us a Merry Christmas when we left, What a fantastic Ambassador, he was brilliant. I cannot highly praise him enough, we were suitably impressed..
I will would hesitate to recommend to you anyone and will publish our recommendation as a 5 star event on any website available…
Once again on behalf of my family thank you again for giving us a special day to remember..

Marilyn
March 2011 | Trip type: Magistic Dinner Cruise
My wife and I would like to thank Magistic Cruises and all staff for a wonderful evening and to show us who live one hour away from Sydney that we do have the most magnificent city in the world. We take things for granted when it's in such close proximity and don't appreciate that we are so fortunate to live here.
From the moment we stepped on board at seven o'clock on dock five to the time we stepped off the cruise ship we had a most relaxing time. I have two badly worn hips and a bad back and walking is painful and climbing stairs is difficult, but the Cruise Director, Sue made me feel at ease as she greeted my wife and I at the stairs, being patient, helpful and making me not rush.
Once seated we were offered drinks and shortly after we were told that the buffet was opened for meals. Credit here to the chef Alison, who provided us with a beautiful prawn and oyster seafood selection and the variety of fresh salads and hot vegetables was a treat to enjoy. The selection of beef and chicken were as good as I have experienced in restaurants. The bar staff and waiters were very polite and provided a first class service. The Crew on board the boat on Friday, 8th March, we feel are a real credit to your business, and my wife and I will definitely be back with family and friends to share and enjoy a relaxing and beautiful experience.

I booked my parents (in their late 80s) on your lunch cruise 6/1/11. Your cruise, the food and the service exceeded their expectations. I had a feeling that it would be good as when I made enquiries to you, these were answered very promptly and courteously. I thank you for your care and the quality of your service. In an age where customer service is often neglected, your organization is a shining example for others to emulate. I will certainly be recommending you to others and will do the cruise myself.

The crew were so professional and friendly as well. Thank for making our night so very special- and a special thanks to the DJ, who did a really great job.

It was a lovely night, catching up with everyone that I hadn’t seen in a year or met as yet. Food was good, as well as the service. We will keep this venue in mind for future reference.

I just wanted to express my gratitude for the great job you and your team expressed to us for our dinner cruise. From the pre event set up to the actual delivery of our dinner, your helpfulness and willingness to work with us was greatly appreciated.
As we all know there are many last minute changes and things you can’t control and knowing that we could count on you and your team to work with us was a great peace of mind. It’s the partnership and team work that make the events a success. The group had a great time, it was a wonderful night on the water.

I would like to acknowledge and thank you for the superior, and very friendly, service you provided my elderly parents this week.
Mum, Janet Schonfeldt - wheelchair bound, and Dad, Alec - recovering from 2 bouts of major surgery, have just returned home to Adelaide from their short trip to Sydney. They are a-buzz with enjoyment of the cruise itself, and also with the way in which they were helped by the Manager and staff.
Thank you so much for making the day so very special for two beautiful, but quite frail, people.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be one of your passengers on the cruise to welcome home Jessica Watson. I had 3 in my party.
I would like to take this moment to say thank you for how well we were all looked after considering the cruise was extended in time way longer than first planned. We were made feel welcome, cared for in every way and although we were told not to bring refreshments or food, the crew were able to rustle us up a cheese roll and we had enough champagne to dull the senses.
We had a fabulous time with your friendly crew and other like minded passengers. Thank you for making this extended trip, way worth our while in every way.
We will be sure to look you up again when the opportunity exists.

I just had to write to you and tell you what a FANTASTIC day my family and I had onboard Magestic Two for Jessica Watson's welcome home cruise. Your staff did a wonderful job of keeping us out there and happy while we waited for her to arrive. Then got us up as close as possible to the action. I was really impressed with the service and I will definately be mentioning your company to everyone I know. As a Sydneysider, we tend to take our Harbour for granted, but I will be returning to cruise again with your company. Well Done!!!

Just want to say a big thank you for staying out in the harbour for all that extended time so we could welcome Jessica back. It was just so awsome and my husband and I were so pleased to be a part of it.
A big thanks to the crew...they worked hard at the bar serving people with refreshments.
A great and memorable day!!

May 2010 | Trip type: Dinner Cruise
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone at Majestic Cruises for a truly terrific and awesome evening. A friend and I had purchased two dinner and drinks packages and we were not too sure what to expect from our first cruise with Majestic. We had taken harbour cruises with other charter boats in Sydney and the food, staff and experience was always less that what we had expected. However the moment we boarded your cruise the first class service begun from the very first person who greeted us.
Once we were inside the boat we were greeted by another wonderful staff member who offered us a glass of champagne and told us that a waiter would take us to our table. I was also really pleased to see that groups and couples had their own private tables and seats as we assumed it would be one large communal table for all of us.
Once everyone was seated and the boat departed the fine dining experience truly started and everything was simply flawless. There was such an enormous amount of delicious food available that I was impressed you guys obviously catered to everyone and anyone. The bar service was also fast and friendly. We met a great bunch of people seated at a table next to us and when we needed some fresh air we went to the front of the boat to soak up the bright lights and views of Sydney Harbour.
All in all the entire experience was brilliant and at no point during the two and half hours did the staff or service falter – in fact every staff member we encountered went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were comfortable and all our demands were met. So another thank you to all the staff that were on board. I have been raving about you guys to my friends and family since our cruise and I am already looking forward to my next harbour cruise with you. We will try the deluxe lunch package next time – because quite frankly it would be impossible to try and beat you folks. Keep up the great work.
Thanks again for a terrific evening.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the wonderful lunch cruise that was held on Australia Day 2010, on the Magistic2.
Fortunately it was hard to find fault as the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, the service was fantastic, the music selection was great and the boat was absolutely beautiful. It has been my intention to go on a Magistic Cruise for some time now and have no regrets for choosing to spend part of Australia Day on the Magistic2.
Thank you once again for making Australia Day wonderful and memorable, I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone wanting a great day out.

My family and I (four of us) had a very memorable luncheon cruise with you. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful, and things ran very smoothly. The food was excellent in taste, variety and presentation, and your method of "delivery" ensured a fast and easy access to our lunch for all guests.
Both main buffet and desserts were delicious, and with a gentle cruise that gave us a great variety of Harbour sights, we considered it excellent value, and would be very happy to recommend it to others; certainly, we would like to cruise with you whenever we are able to visit Sydney again.
It was a marvellous start to our 6 day holiday in Sydney, and a lovely way for our family to relax and enjoy the blessings of this Season.

Everything was absolutely fantastic on Saturday night!! The food and service was 'five-star'! We had several compliments from guests on the night and since. My daughter commented again last night how lovely the food was - couldnt have asked for better. The DVD worked really well - everyone enjoyed the photos.
Kaylee did a wonderful job! She was attentive and helpful from beginning to end as was the rest of the staff. Everyone on the boat was wonderful and did everything with a smile - they made us all feel very welcome! FIRST CLASS JOB EVERYONE!!

I would just like to thank you so much for giving me one of the nicest, most enjoyable experiences that I’ve had. From the moment I spoke with Alex on the phone to book the cruise right up until we had to get off the cruise, it was such an easy and stress free journey. You’re staff on board were so nice and always making sure that we were OK and didn’t require anything. They were all so friendly and the food was great. I am looking forward to taking another lunch cruise in the very near future with my fiancé.

Amanda (Our Functions & Events Manager),
You must have a magical eye because it was a miracle that it cleared to perfect weather condition by 1-5pm. Jeff was of course very hospitable as always and the rest of the crew were at their utmost best in customer service. I couldn't fault anything yesterday. For the first time, we did not have anyone overly intoxicated. I would like to give a special mention to Elizabeth who was my best choice of the day in terms of looking after each and everyone ensuring we all enjoy the cruise to the max.
And lastly to you for being such a good coordinator. Keep up the good work because our guys are working very hard in the safety at work incentive to earn their next cruise.

Thank you very much for such a lovely night on our wedding night on March 14th 2009. Everything ran so smoothly, and nothing went wrong.
It was perfect. we had a great time and many of our friends and family said it was one of the best weddings they had been to. It wouldn't have worked so well without your company's professionalism and your assistance. We would like to extend our special thanks to Nick, who did a fantastic job at ensuring all the guests were happy, and that everything ran on time.
Everyone felt the service was great, the staff were friendly and they were comfortable throughout the evening. Nick did a commendable job, and deserves recognition for his efforts - he even assisted with last minute seating changes, as well as helping our friends find their way to delivering all the decorations, and setting up the backdrop was a lot of work. Nick improvised when some of the hooks were missing from the backdrop, and ensured all our needs were met - He even kept my aunty happy with her request to play some Thai music, and chose an appropriate time for it to be played!

Our night was perfect! I really appreciate your organising the event. The crew were wonderful, the food brilliant and plenty, and everybody enjoyed.
Tahlia has her great smile all the time which gave me confidence that we were not behaving too bad! I also thank you for reminding me that the background music is not sufficient for dance and also for arranging the av technician. Without the music and dance our event could not be as good as it became.

Just a quick note regarding last Friday - Everything went really well, with all positive feedback from our guests regarding the food, staff etc being first rate.
From my perspective the staff were fantastic from the Captain down! Jamie was friendly and efficient and available to take any questions or make changes if needed, the buffet was great and the function overall was very well organised. I will certainly be recommending you to other areas within the Westpac/St.George Group.
