Presented by the Australian National Maritime Museum in partnership with the Sydney Heritage Fleet, the unique one-hour cruise on Sydney Harbour takes place aboard the heritage motor launch Harman (c.1943).

The Westside Stories Highlights Tour shows the transformation of Sydney Harbour from a major working port into one of boating and leisure activities. The vessel's small size allows the Master to take her deep into the coves and bays of the north shore of Sydney Harbour. The guides have many fascinating stories and details to share.

See the remnants of the working waterfront as you travel deep into the bays and coves west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.



Highlights include Rozelle Bay, where many of the city’s historic vessels are being restored; seeing where Palmolive and Protex soap was made; being visually transported to ‘Scandinavia’ by multi-coloured harbour front workshops; and unlocking what the name Ultimo means.
