There are all sorts of dinner cruises available on Sydney Harbour. If you are looking for a formal dinner for a party of at least twenty people, the 80 foot classic motor yacht “Commissioner II” is one of the best. This boat offers first class service, excellent catering and attentive professional staff.

Commissioner II is driven by two Mercedes-Benz diesels and is whisper quiet. She features a versatile combination of entertaining areas – an opulent saloon, spacious dining area, expansive bridge deck and ample exterior deck space – all with unimpeded views of the Harbour.

A new state-of-the-art audio visual system includes a retractable 40″ LCD screen, integrated with digital TV, onboard PC, Ipod-compatible surround sound system and cordless microphones.
