“We had our ceremony on board 'Promclaim', and it was fantastic. Bronte from Rosman was a pleasure to deal with, and checked in regularly to see if there was anything I needed. The crew on the day were fantastic. After our ceremony, we cruised around Sydney harbour as the sun set. It was the start of a magical evening. Thank you, team at Rosman!” - Bec M.

About

Sean Langman started out as a rigger and now operates Noakes Group, which includes three boatyards and the historic Rosman Cruises business on Sydney Harbour. Sean pours countless hours and funds into maintaining these vintage ferries and making sure they stay afloat. His favourite boat of the fleet is Radar. To Mr Langman, purchasing his business was an enterprise in maintaining the magnificent old ferries while preserving the rich history of the iconic harbour.

April 2018

We hired a vintage old Sydney Ferry to capture the nostalgia and accomodate a large group in a cool and different way. They were awesome all the way through planning and booking to the execution on the day. We had 4 hours sailing right around Sydney harbour and had our marriage ceremony on the boat, which later dropped us off at Ripples Chowder Bay for our reception and came back later that night to take everyone back to Circular Quay.

March 2018

It was a vintage ferry that we hired. We hired it for an extra hour to decorate. We also brought in our own drinks. Warren was one of the crew and our contact. He was great, made sure everything ran smoothly and answered all our questions.

May 2017

We had the reception on the Proclaim and a harbour cruise. It is a wonderful 1940's wooden boat which fitted in with my vintage theme. All the crew and staff were so friendly and helpful. We used their caterers and the food was great. Bronte the Events Coordinator was so lovely and helped us to prepare for a perfect day.

Thank you for your wonderful praise. We love to make your special day that bit more special.

October 2023

Rosman Cruises were fantastic. They transported us from our ceremony location, which was on the harbour, to another part of Sydney for the reception. All our guests loved the cruise but it went down especially well with the international guests. The boat was cute with great space to mingle both indoors and out. Being able to supply our own booze was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

They were fantastic. They had the right mix of professionalism but still casual at the same time. We used the boat with banquet seating and we found that appropriate for what we needed. They were very accommodating and reassuring.
