A very nice tour... - We just had to include an evening harbor cruise during our very short stay in Sydney. From other reviews, we chose this tour and we weren't disappointed.
The harbor is beautiful to look at during the day. But at night when the Opera House is all lit up along with many of the buildings along the harbor...well, we just had to see the sights from the water.
The boat was large and comfortable. We stayed in the harbor so the 'waves' weren't anything to cause skittish folks concern about sea sickness. We sat in the climate controlled first level. I believe that there was a 2nd level but I can't recall for sure.
There were plenty of tables on board and the age range of the attendees went from 20 years old to 80 years old (I'd estimate). We had a 2 piece band on board entertaining us as we comfortably cruised the harbor and had dinner.
The dinner menu was extraordinary! There were plenty of food selections available for a very nice dinner. And there was a full bar (all alcohol based drinks and wine cost extra).
The tour doesn't require anything from the passengers besides a smile. Bring a sweater or something as it can get somewhat chilly on the water. We had people on board using walking assistants (e.g. canes, walkers, etc). They looked like they easily maneuvered throughout the boat with no issues.
I recommend this tour highly.

Sydney Rocks - Well worth it! Contrary to many negative reviews the food was great. There was a vegan option, a beef option. I had the chicken breast with a potato cake, spinach and carrots. My wife had the barramundi and said it was amazing. The dessert was delicious too. The staff was friendly and attentive. Like most restaurants here you scan a QR code to order and pay for drinks which than get delivered by wait staff. You start at daylight so you get beautiful bridge and Opera House views on the way out and see them again all lit up on your way in. Our tickets told us we had to get on at Darling Harbor but they stopped at Circular Quay to pick up more people. We were able to get off there on the way back for a shorter walk back without an issue. The catch is you lose about 45 minutes of cruise time if you don’t start and finish at Darling Harbor.

Good dinner and relaxing time - We boarded on time, and were shown to our pre-assigned table. Canapés were on the table and delicious. The wait staff took our order for starters, entree, and desert. They were prompt, polite, and accommodating us intermittently eating and stepping outside for pictures. The food was hot and good. They had a live duo playing and singing. The only disappointment for us is that bridge and Opera House are not brightly lit except for special occasions, but we were still able to get amazing pictures. I would recommend this for a relaxing, good dinner and cruise.

Valentines Starlight Cruise - It was an amazing night for the event that it was with the perfect backdrop of Sydney Harbour that made it more special - especially the fireworks (not sure if that was planned). Amazing friendly staff and ambience although main meal was a bit cold by the time it got to us but memorable night nevertheless. Thank you Viator and Captain Cook Cruises.

Could be better - It was a great night, the food was excellent however the drinks are not included in the package. Unlike in Melbourne the drinks were included and it was bottomless. For elderly who doesn't have access to smart camera would have been difficult for them as buying drinks is thru online.

Great value and experience - Ride was closer to 3 hours than the 2 we expected but that was fine. The extra time allowed us to go up to to take in the city scape after dinner. Staff in the restaurant were on it and the music was good as well. Food was better than we expected. Sydney is beautiful at night, good way to spend our last evening in Sydney.

Staff was very nice. Ship... - Staff was very nice. Ship was clean. Scenery was beautiful. We had a great experience.
However, the food was marginal at best. If you are taking this cruise for a nice dinner - this isn’t the dinner cruise for you.
For the company - would be nice if you had seating in the outdoor decks. We spent a lot of time outside and some seating would have been perfect.
