Frequently Asked Questions
A real classic wooden speedboat, a Montebello Classic 33.
Yes, for your group only.
It's built in an older style — typically a polished mahogany hull with teak decking, echoing the elegant motor launches of decades past — rather than the fibreglass construction used on most modern harbour cruise boats. Sydney has a genuine, active tradition of preserving vessels like this through groups such as the volunteer-run Sydney Heritage Fleet, founded in 1965.

About This Tour
A private, exclusive cruise aboard a real classic wooden speedboat (a Montebello Classic 33), for your group only. This is a genuinely private cruise aboard a real classic wooden speedboat, a Montebello Classic 33 — a distinctive, honest alternative to the standard motor cruiser.
Most Sydney Harbour cruise boats today are fibreglass motor cruisers, which makes a genuine classic wooden speedboat a real departure rather than a themed gimmick. Vessels like the Montebello Classic 33 used on this cruise are built in a traditional style — a polished mahogany hull and teak decking — that deliberately echoes the elegant motor launches of an earlier era rather than modern boat design.
Sydney itself has a real, active tradition of preserving exactly this kind of vessel. The Sydney Heritage Fleet, founded in 1965, still operates a collection of historic wooden boats on the harbour today, including vessels dating back to 1902, all kept running by volunteers using traditional trade methods. A classic wooden speedboat charter taps into that same appreciation for older craftsmanship, just on a smaller, private scale.
At roughly 33 feet, the boat is intimate rather than cavernous, which suits a genuinely private cruise — it's your group only, on a distinctive vessel, rather than one more identical cruiser among many on the water.
