Testimonials
  • This is a very late feedback for the cruise I had on 18th August this year. It was aboard the Magistic and it was a top deck private cruise for approx. 55 of my guests. I just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic day. The staff were all very professional and accommodating for all our needs. In addition, Alex that I arrange the cruise through was really great. She was not pushy, but she was able to provide quotes, guidance and advice during the whole process. Just thought I’d let you know that we all had a wonderful time and all of my guests were very impressed with both the service they received as well as the quality of the food & wine presented on the day. Many thanks for helping make my day such a success.

    Leisa
  • Thank you, Juliana, Mark and their team for a truely perfect cruise experience. All participants were full of praise for the cruise, the boat, the views and the team. They particularly pointed out the high quality of the food and the friendly service. Many of the delegates had participated in a cruise on the Seine river in Paris last year at a conference and we all said the food on the Blue Room Glass Boat was so much better than in Paris. I think this is significant. I will make sure to refer our events team at the University to you if a cruise is to be organised in the future.

    Dorrit
  • CRCC - Baptist care have taken carers of people with disability and frail aged on outing with the Magistic over the years due the demand. We had 4 this year all with positive. Thank you

    Baptist
  • Very enjoyable cruise with great staff.

    Jacob
  • Claudia was fantastic. Food was delicious. Will definitely book again.

    Nadia
  • We celebrated our Sons 21st on the Azure Deck of the Showboat and it was a great choice. Very positive experience, Thank you.

    Rohan
  • Overall, the evening was most enjoyable, the food excellent, all dietary requests filled most satisfactorily, wait staff very helpful, pleasant & efficient and all participants thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Colette
  • My group loved the dinner cruise last night, enjoyed the spectacular Harbour, so thank your staff for me for a job well done.

    Lorraine Mills
  • Thank you so much for your support, not only on the day but leading up to the event, I could not have done it without you. Our team had an amazing time, your staff were fantastic and very professional. My Managing Director was so impressed with the Boat, service and overall structure of the day that he has even asked for contact details to use for future events.

    Again I thank you and your team, I look forward to working with you again in the future.

    Karen Reeding
  • Thank you for an excellent event - the delegates were all very impressed. Amanda and the team provide an excellent dinner service, and Xhad in particular was great to work with. He was very proactive, accommodating, friendly and professional at all times - a great representative for your organisation.

    Vanessa Wong
  • Our Christmas Party aboard the beautiful "Majestic Sail" was an outstanding success. The food, service and backdrop of our magnificent city, all provided a wonderful night for our staff. We all went home with great memories and beautiful photos of the city lights.

    Special thanks go out to Genie Merlino, who took the stress out of organising such an event. Our Cruise Director on the night, Jordon, also did a great job in ensuring that the evening went well.

    All in all, it was "smooth sailing" in all departments. We would not hesitate to book another cruise with you again.

    Bluebell Rae
  • Thanks to your company for the excellent service that you provided for our conference dinner. All the guests enjoyed themselves. I would love to recommend you to anyone who needs such a service in the future.

    A special thank you goes out to you Sarah. I appreciated your help and advice to make our event such a success. With all the last minute rush, I worried that something would fall through the cracks, but you and Genie were terrific! Such a commitment to great customer service is to be commended.

    Sonia Morr
  • I would like to thank your team for doing such a great job on board of the Sydney Showboat.

    The Embassy of the Netherlands, the Consulate-General of the Netherlands and all Honorary Netherlands Consulates in Australia and PNG will definitely recommend you and your team for any corporate events on the Sydney Showboat. We had an awesome night with great people, fantastic food and excellent hospitality. Well done!

    Lieke
  • I would just like to say that we had a really good time on Monday night!!!! Everyone was so impressed with the boat, food and especially your staff they were more than helpful. So could you please pass on our thanks to your staff for making a great night into a fabulous one!!!!!!

    Margaret
  • Just a short note to say a very big THANK YOU for a wonderful evening. The whole evening went off without a hiccup and all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The CEO and all of the team invited were overwhelmed with the size of Magistic II. The weather was kind to us and all enjoyed cruising around the harbour. Everyone commented on how good the food and service was on the night. Firstly thank you for your help during the organising process and please pass on our thanks also to Gemma and all of the staff aboard the cruise on the night. I have sent via the post a CD we made of the night for you to enjoy and half a laugh….you will see we all had a very good night.

    Sharon
  • Just a quick note to say a big thank you! We had a wonderful afternoon and everything went extremely smoothly. The staff were wonderful, and the food was great! Thanks again!

    Kim
  • I just wanted to say a big thank you to yourself and all the staff from the cruise who assisted us in the lead up to our cruise and for those who assisted on the night. We've had some overwhelmingly positive feedback and the general consensus was that it was our most successful awards night yet. Thank you again, please take care, and I hope we can secure the same event for 2012.

    Trish
  • Just a quick thank you for a great day on the harbour last Saturday. Everything went "superbly" well and we had a ball onboard. Food excellent, service fab. What more can I say. We are so at home on the ship it is a pleasure to work with Magistic!!!

    Mounties Group
  • The staff were fabulous to deal with and the boat looked great. All our guests had a great time and I wouldnt hestitate to book the vessel again.
