Amazing staff, Zac and...

Tracy_H, Oct 2025
Amazing staff, Zac and Elle were so friendly and funny. The only reason it lost 1 star was the view, weather, not a great view of the sunset, no dolphins, nothing to do with the crew or sail

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you for your feedback and the 4-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed the company of Zac and Elle — they’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words. We completely understand that sometimes the weather doesn't quite cooperate, but we hope to welcome you back on a sunnier day for the full experience! 🌅🐬⛵

BAD COMMUNICATION.

Pieter_R, Dec 2024
NO EXPERIENCE AT ALL. The Sunset Cruise was cancelled, yet my wife and I were not informed despite my wife calling earlier in the day and not being told there may be a cancellation. We were staying in a Hotel less than 100 meters away and our contact numbers registered with them. We went to the Marina on time only to find there would be no Cruise. We would like our money back.

Evening well spent.

Melita_C, Nov 2024
Such a fun way to see the Adelaide coastline! Would really recommend, great way to sepend and evening.

Spectacular trip, fabulous crew and perfect length to take advantage of sunset. Had international friends and were really proud of being a local to showcase our beautiful coast.

A gorgeous sunset, incredibly helpful staff, the thoughtfulness of the company to provide fleece blankets! A truly memorable experience!

Have to do it

Selena_E, Aug 2024
Such a great experience, saw heaps of dolphins and they even out on a show for us jumping up out of the water. Blankets were provided and also the crew went around and took photos of you with the sunset in the background just added to the great service you get from the moment you arrive

Magical experience

Natarsha_M, Apr 2024
Such a magical experience. The vibe throughout the experience was majestic. Great value for money. On boarding/safety instructions clear. Tour left on time. Staff were fantastic. Good variety of drinks on board available. Beautiful sunset and got to see some dolphins. Will be doing the experience again

A delightful evening trip, soothing and enjoyable.

It was lovely trip, with a really kind crew who looked after us very well. They were very helpful and took photos for anyone who wanted them.

Just Beautiful!

Jasmin_H, Jan 2024
Had the most wonderful experience, worth every cent! Friendly and accommodating staff, beautiful views and sunset and nice drinks on board!

Interesting evening boat cruise with friendly helpful staff.

ThomasRoland_C, Dec 2023
Though unseasonably cool & windy & no sunset. It was still an interesting boat trip along cost from Glenelg. Affable captain & captivating first mate Caitlin . Think afternoon cruise to c dolphins would b fascinating.

Beautiful sunset cruise!

Christi_W, Dec 2023
We had a lovely time. Sea was calm and the crew did a terrific job! Highly recommend this sunset cruise.

Twilight view with gentle rolling waves

Catamaran cruise fun!

Michael_J, Mar 2023
While the clouds spoiled our sunset, the trip out skipping over the waves was fun especially from the front!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Sunset cruise

Liz_M, Feb 2023
Lovely welcoming helpful crew. The large catamaran experience was great and stunning views of the sunset. Not recommended for large groups of senior citizens with inability to climb steps or balance as no proper sitting or rails on board and otherwise could be uncomfortable and unsafe. Otherwise my experience was great and even saw dolphins swim by. 🥂❤️🌅

Response from Host, Mar 2023

It was freeeeeezing, wet...

Estelle_V, Jan 2023
It was freeeeeezing, wet and disappointing as no sundowners photos. Lots of clouds. The trip away from Glenelg was quite scary. I don’t think that sitting on top of the yacht is safe enough. Felt volnarable. However, my 85 year old mum went with and the sailor captain and the lady was extremely friendly and helpful getting her on and off the yacht. The service onboard was excellent.

Had a great time ! Lovely...

Jacqueline_B, Jan 2023
