3 hour cruise on Darwin harbour. We really enjoyed it. The staff were so friendly and their service exceptional. We were treated to a delicious 3 course meal which was served up in a timely manner. The scenery around the harbour looked great. Warm air breeze was so inviting. The whole experience was so much better than we could ever imagine it would be. We highly recommend this cruise. Unforgettable experience.

It is great, exactly as described in their website. Boat is comfortable, food is excellent.
However they have done the last one for 2026.
Friendly staff, harbour is beautiful - bring sunnies and a hat! Dinner was okay - nothing to write home about.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for the honest feedback Rina. Really glad the crew and the harbour were good to you, but dinner should be a highlight rather than just okay, and we are sorry it fell short. If you would like to talk it through, give us a call on 0439 893 939. — The Cape Adieu crew
Wow what a great sunset cruise amazing the food was excellent and the crew amazing especially Gus.. Our sunset spectacular
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Very organised and we were looked after very well on the cruise. Lovely food and great drinks service. Nice music to accompany everything.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much Lynette. Organised and well looked after is exactly what we are aiming for, and glad the music and the drinks service added to it. — The Cape Adieu crew

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thanks Craig, good company and great scenery is a fair way to spend an evening. So glad the meal and the crew looked after you, come back and see us. — The Cape Adieu crew
This is a great dinner cruise, the crew are fun and the food was terrific. A fun way to see Darwin from the water.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Jen, glad the crew showed you a good time and that the food was terrific. Darwin does look its best from the water. — The Cape Adieu crew
Comfortable boat with very attentive & friendly staff. Beautiful sunset, Food was very average at best.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Steven, glad the boat and the crew looked after you and that the sunset turned it on. Fair call on the food though, average is not what we are aiming for and we will take that one on board. If you want to tell us more, give us a call on 0439 893 939. — The Cape Adieu crew
We had a wonderful time. Food and service was awesome. Just might be a good idea to bring hat and sunnies, as the sunset takes awhile and gets very glary on the boat
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Monika, glad the food and the service were awesome. Fair tip on the hat and sunnies too, that western sun has a bit of bite before it finally drops. — The Cape Adieu crew
This was a wonderful experience; The yacht was well set up, the dinner delicious & the crew attentive & professional. What a way to see Darwin at sunset. Highly recommend Cape Adieu for a Sunset Dinner cruise
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Michael, the best in Darwin is a big wrap and we will happily take it. So glad the boat, the dinner and the crew all lived up to it for you. — The Cape Adieu crew
Food good.
Ship trip good.
Alcohol expensive and extra cost to ticket.
Boat comfortable and cruise calm
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for the honest feedback John. Glad the food, the boat and the cruise itself were all good ones. Fair enough on the bar prices, we would much rather hear it than not, and if you want to talk it through give us a call on 0439 893 939. — The Cape Adieu crew
It is so nice to be out on the bay looking back to the city.
The old boat gently cruising along.
Relaxing ambience and pleasant staff.
Stairway to the top deck is steep but safe.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much, looking back at the city from the bay is our favourite part of the run too. Fair point on the stairway, it is a steep old thing and the crew are always happy to give a hand. — The Cape Adieu crew
Very enjoyable cruise. Lovely service and nice to have full waiter service.
Loved the sunset and the company.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Dianne, glad the full waiter service made a difference. A good sunset and good company is what the whole night is built around, so lovely to hear you got both. — The Cape Adieu crew
Lovely meal, very relaxing, great service, very accommodating with me being a vegan, could do this multiple times!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Tammy, glad the galley could look after you properly with the vegan menu. So glad the whole night was a relaxing one, and we would love to have you back multiple times. — The Cape Adieu crew
Lovely vessel, food and sunset was amazing. Our four course meal consisted of kangaroo canapé, prawns, oyster & crevice (entree), steak/barramundi (main) & mousse (dessert).
Don’t worry about trying to get in the line early as tables are already allocated.
Holly gave us very prompt and friendly service.
Would definitely recommend if you prefer a more fine dining experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Gillian, Holly will be rapt to get a mention. Glad the four courses hit the mark, and thank you for passing on the tip about the allocated tables, that is exactly why we do it. — The Cape Adieu crew
Well worth it for the experience. Would recommend anyone to book and enjoy themselves. Would go again if we had the time.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Gavin, glad it was well worth the time you did have. Next trip up to Darwin we would love to have you back aboard. — The Cape Adieu crew
They should expect a relaxed setting, great staff who are enthuastic about their job and go out of their way to ensure you have a great time.
The food was incredible and the setting was incredible.
We will be back when we return to Darwin again
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks Steve, the crew will be chuffed to read that, they do genuinely love the job. So glad the food and the setting delivered, and we will keep a spot for you next time you are in Darwin. — The Cape Adieu crew
Pleasant evening with great staff. Beautiful sunset views. The food was nice but the one disappointment was that there was not a non shellfish entre option. Neither of us likes prawns and oysters unfortunately.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the lovely review and glad the sunset and crew delivered! On the food side, we totally understand that prawns and oysters aren't for everyone. We do run a set menu but we always encourage guests to let us know about any dietary preferences or requirements beforehand. It's mentioned on our website and in your confirmation emails, and we genuinely want every guest eating something they love. Even if you let us know on the night, we are more than happy to put together an alternative platter, usually a beautiful charcuterie board or something tailored to what works for you. Next time you are in Darwin, get in touch with us directly and we will make sure you are sorted from the start.
Cheers,
Munro
Outstanding service and organisation.
The dinner and sunset were amazing.
We would recommend this cruise for one of the pick events when visiting Darwin
Great sunset cruise. Food was delicious and scenery spectacular. Staff very helpful and attentive. Would do it again
Small and stable boat. Host and staff friendly and efficient. Food absolutely delicious. Perfect. Great night.
Food amazing, sunset in NT something else.. best crew ever! What more could you ask for! Would definitely highly recommend. Loved that it was seated allocated tables but still intimate too. Even experienced going down below in the boat to see the quarters.
Highly recommend - delightful 4 courses
main meal cooked to your liking
Plenty of food with stunning sunset.
Easy to meet other people a s have a laugh as small vessel.
Dinner tables allocated and staff were attentive and friendly.
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience - beautiful food, sunset and hosts. I have done other cruises in Darwin but this one is definitely a must!
Very relaxed make sure you have a big brined hat or baseball cap to keep the sun out if your eyes perfect.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Gday Heather,
Thanks for a lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed a relaxed evening on the harbour. Great tip about bringing a big brimmed hat or a cap to keep the sun out of your eyes. Sunglasses and sunscreen help as well and we always have chilled water on hand. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon.
Cheers,
Munro and Grace

We had a lovely evening aboard the Cape Adieu. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. Sailing in the bay as the sun went down and the twinkly lights came on made for such a really memorable time. Thank you so much!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for coming aboard and sharing this. Sounds like the harbour put on a beautiful show and the crew took good care of you. We would love to welcome you back for another Taste of the Top End when you are next in Darwin.
