About this experience

Live the sweet life and explore Sydney Harbour on Sydney’s original and only Italian Wooden Speedboat La Dolce Vita.

La Dolce Vita or Dolce (Doll-Chi), as she is affectionately known, is a Comitti Portofino and Comitti is the last boat yard still making traditional wooden speedboats by hand on Lake Como. This stunning water limousine is a work of art. She was shipped to Australia from Lake Como Italy, where she was hand made from mahogany, teak and ash.

Dolce is the go to boat on Sydney Harbour for visiting celebrities and has seen the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Mel B, Miranda Kerr, Toni Collette, and many many more. She has been used in many TV shows, movies, photo shoots, album covers, the list goes on.

Be your own celebrity and see Sydney Harbour on Dolce which has been compared to driving around like James Bond in a cross between a Ferrari and a classic rolls Royce.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

See all of Sydneys iconic landmarks, stop for amazing photos at all the key spots, see some of the most expensive houses on the planet, see Sydney's secret Islands and secret beaches.

Stop 2

Pass under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and see it from underneath. You can stop at McMahons Point for a few minutes to get the perfect photo of yourself with the Opera House in the background sitting under the Harbour Bridge. All of this in one shot to share with everyone.

Stop 3

Pass by the Sydney Opera House and see it from the water from an angle most people never have the opportunity to see. You can stop for a few minutes to get some amazing photos to share with everyone.

Stop 4

See Darling Harbour from the water and look out at everyone looking in at you. See the new W hotel, the Sydney skyline, and all of the activity at Cockle Bay and King St Wharf.

Sydney's skyline is magical and you will get to see it from all angles as you cruise by. There will be plenty of photo opportunities and you will have plenty to store in your memory bank as well.

Stop 6

See fort Denison up close and personal as you cruise by. With a rich history this island that stands alone right in the middle of Sydney Harbour is always a great talking point.

Cruise past the waterfront mansions of Point Piper to see where celebrities and billionaires live. This is the playground of the rich and famous.

Cruise past the Naval Base at Garden Island and see the Navy ships docked on Sydney Harbour. The ships are always on the move so you might even get to see one leaving the dock.

Cruise through Athol Bay and pass Taronga Zoo and try and catch a glimpse of the Giraffes, or maybe a bird show. Listen carefully and you will usually hear the seals, chimpanzees and at the right time of day hear the lions roar!
