Rosman Ferries takes a 2 hour trip around the harbour. Pitched at locals, this cruise is more like a floating pub than a tourist attraction. Friendly and fun, with a band in the background, and reasonable drink prices. The whole thing is fantastic value at just $15 a head, with your first drink thrown in.

It's worth giving them a call to book - just to be on the safe side. Then, be at the Commissioner's Steps in Circular Quay right on time. Departure is at 5.30pm sharp, so aim to get there by 5.15pm. You'll arrive back at Circular Quay around 7.30pm - just in time to seek out dinner.
