Colin and Ali were exceptionally friendly and professional with all needs and requirements on board met, they definitely made us feel safe to have our relaxation time with no hassles. So our group would all like to say thank you too you both and definitely will be back when up this way again 🙂

We couldn’t speak more highly of these guys! From the moment we arrived, they were both so accommodating towards the entire group. They both constantly walked around the boat, checking to make sure no one was getting sea sick and offered to refill our drinks and cheese platters.. They made the entire experience very enjoyable.

Overview

We had a windy day, close to 25knots and we had ventured out which for me was a lot of fun crashing over the waves and getting soaking wet. Then we turned back in and sailed down the river. Unfortunately we didn’t see any crocs but the scenery non the less was tranquil. Colin and his second mate were fantastic hosts. Thank you for the memories.

A beautiful cruise into the Sunset aboard the Sailway sipping a cold one and enjoying the spectacular views.

A great cruise out of Port Douglas. Skipper and deck hand were terrific. Got a little right, though haha.

A lovely way to spend a couple of hours. This was my third time on the boat and have enjoyed it every time. Will do it again.

Sailing Bliss

Jarrod_H, Jul 2026
Very relaxing. A perfect way to start your evening. Sit back, breathe in the ocean breeze and take a moment to appreciate where you are, and appreciate the views of the hinterland as the sunsets over it.

🥰 Best Sailing experience ever 🥰

Sail Away Into A Sunset

Julie_D, Jan 2026
Absolutely loved our trip as a family. The crew was fantastic and educational. Even the rainy weather couldn’t spoil our sunset sail and kids were begging to extend it by at least an hour. The grazing platter was very yum too! I also believe that this experience was very fairly priced and wasn’t too crowded with other passengers. In overall, highly recommend! Loved every second of it! Thank you.

A lovely afternoon sailing unfortunately there was no sunset on this day ,but a beautiful tropical storm which the skipper handled with experience and professionalism. Thank you Sue and Richard for your attention to detail in every area.

Excellent hospitality,...

Natasha_R, Aug 2025
Excellent hospitality, delicious nibbles from local produce felt like it was your own boat. The sunset views were amazing. Highly recommend

Indigo 2 is amazing!

Lisa_D, Aug 2025
This experience was amazing! With only 12 guests at a time the service was second to none. We noticed that similar charters were very full of guests . But not this one , we felt very special. Being able to take your own drinks was also great. The cheese platter was a really nice touch and also delicious 👌 We will definitely do this on our next visit.

Had a lovely time relaxing out on the water and snacking on some yummy nibblies. The captain did a good job setting the mood with his tunes and the lady was amazing making sure everyone had their snacks and drinks :)

Highlight of our trip to Port Douglas ❤️

Julia_W, Apr 2025
Fantastic!! Very intimate experience, very few people on this cruise. Wished we chartered this catamaran for personal Great Barrier Reef trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

The sunset yacht cruise in Port Douglas was an incredible experience! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome with their warm hospitality and expert service. The yacht was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering stunning panoramic views

5 ⭐️Captain Colin & Crew

Relaxed and friendly vibe for a short trip out on the beautiful waterways of Port Douglas. Captain Colin and his crew were friendly and attentive and served a tasty platter.

Maintenance

Karen_S, Jan 2025
This experience did not happen due to maintenance. We were given notice a few days before we were to go. I have been on this before and it was fantastic.

This 2 hour Cruise is the best one to book

Belinda_H, Jan 2025
The only 2 hour sunset cruise, this is just a stunning afternoon. There were 12 of us on the boat, and we had a fabulous cheeseboard. Being allowed to BYO with a fridge on board to keep things cool was just incredible. The Skipper, Colin and Ali were just so friendly, informative and lovely. Highly recommend that this be the cruise you book.

Wonderful
