A fantastic dinner and cruise. Easy to board. Welcoming crew. Beautiful yacht. From start to finish we totally enjoyed the food. Excellent wine and drinks list. The four course menu was a taste sensation which displayed great Australian foods. And the cruise itself was exceptional- along the coast and into the sunset which was stunning. Highly recommended.

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.

What an amazing way to spend the night. Sailing on the Cape Adieu was so nice we didn't want it to end. The service from the staff was 5 star, so friendly and fun to chat with.
