A most enjoyable sunset experience. The boat crew are friendly, experienced and professional. The Skipper went out of his way to ensure we saw the coastline in the best light plus, unexpectedly, we came across several whales cavorting and entertaining us. We had a thoroughly memorable evening experience. The trip is well priced and value for money.

It was lovely gift to experience with my partner. Would love if they offered an adult only or couples only one!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the lovely review! We are so happy to hear the cruise was a special gift for you and your partner. We really appreciate the feedback regarding an adults-only option—it’s a great suggestion and something we’ll definitely keep in mind as we look at ways to expand our offerings. We hope the memory of that sunset stays with you both for a long time!

It was a beautiful flat sea, with a gorgeous sunset.
Free snack & sparkling wine. Interesting facts from our skipper about the area. Great music catering for the Average age of about 50+.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you, Catherine, for sharing your cruise experience. We are truly lucky to live in Hervey Bay, an amazing National Park with an abundance of beautiful sea life. I'll pass on your kind words to our skipper Mitch.

A nice relaxing evening on the water! Staff were friendly and welcoming, upon boarding the boat we received a glass of champagne and later followed by cheese and cracker nibblies.
There were many areas for seating and viewing of the amazing views of the Fraser Coast Region. Cruised around the local waterway of Urangan Pier, Big Woody Island and view of K'gari (Fraser Island), along with the lovely colours of the sunset.
Weather was a little rough but our Captain Phil, ensured he was keeping a sharp lookout on navigating around to ensure a smooth ride. Bar was open to purchase additional drinks and was offered 10% off meals at the local boat club upon return our trip.
Thank you for the experience, great value!

The sunset cruise was an absolutely gorgeous experience. The crew onboard were so lovely & even offered to take our photos when the sunset hit its peak. The captain was awesome, sharing facts about the surrounding islands & playing awesome cruising music. Complimentary champagne and nibbles was a great added touch. 11/10 would book again 😊
Response from Host, Dec 2024
WOW - Thank you Mikayla! We are happy that you enjoyed the magic of Hervey Bay and thanks also for your kind comments re our cruise and crew :)

Awful experience from when we boarded to when we got off. It ruined our evening. We have been on plenty of these types of cruises and this was by far the worse one. Stay away from this company.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
WOW Bec, We're sorry you were disappointed with our cruise. Your experience is the opposite to almost all our reviews. We invite you to contact us direct to elaborate on your experience so we can understand what went wrong please. Our feedback email is info@boatclub.com.au
Thank you Bec.

Being able to see Dingoes was good and seeing the bay side of the island was interesting. I’d wished for some more commentary as we went about history and events.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thanks Jim for leaving a review and your kind comments plus helpful feedback. We will take this onboad and forward to the Cruise Manager.

Excellent tour, well organized. Despite the rainy day it was interesting and a lot of fun. Definitely a must when you go to Frazer Island.
Warwick_P, Oct 2023
Chilling out with wine, tunes and communing with nature at its best made a perfect end to a perfect holiday.
Ian_H, Aug 2023
Was absolutely the best cruise ever…the captain did everything he could to ensure the experience was amazing and Katie was fantastic, she was so informative and just lovely. Highly recommended xx
Jill_S, Aug 2023
The captain went out if his way to take us to view some whales. It was the most awesome experience. And a real surprise. We didn’t know where to look as the sun was setting and the moon rising. And the juvenile whales playing. It felt like just for our benefit. This was the best day of our holiday. Thankyou to both Phil and Katie for a memorable time.
Ken_M, Mar 2023
Such a lovely evening... Crew was so nice, and the trip was so informative..saw a dolphin, flying fish, and a manta ray so delighted. We had a discount on the meal afterwards at the Boat Club, which rounded off a perfect trip.
Rick_C, Oct 2022
It was a gentle, relaxing time with much convivial conversation. The weather was against us but still a reasonable sunset. Lovely hostess.
glenda_B, Sep 2022
We loved the whole experience, crew were happy and friendly, and even though our kids were the only ones on board the captain and crew ensure the kids were accommodated and had fun. Relaxed casual cruise, added bonuses of sees whales and dolphins and really made the most of our cruise. Awesome experience.

Nice little cruise on the water, not ideal for kids but a learning experience for them anyway 😊
The staff were very friendly and the sunset was amazing at the end.
Tamara_M, Apr 2022
Went up and down the same spot, didn't see much at all. Got complimental glass of bubbles no other option if can't drink same. Unfortunately cloudy so we also missed the sunset.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback about our Twilight Cruise Tamara. I'm sorry we missed the sunset, unfortunately this does come down to the weather conditions. We do offer alternative complimentary drinks to the champagne, if we have the opportunity to host you again, please just ask the crew.
Sharon_O, Apr 2022
Due to weather, we had no sunset but Captan Phil anchored off a beautiful beach at Fraser Island. We really enjoyed seeing a part of Fraser Island we may not have been able to see from land. Great cruise and very much appreciate Captain Phil going the extra mile to make sure we all had a great time.
Chloe_J, Nov 2021
Beautiful cruise, we loved it. The nibbles were great. Staff were lovely. Such a wonderful afternoon
Marie_C, Oct 2021
Just been out on the water was fun. We didn’t quite get the sunset we hoped for but sometimes it can’t be helped. We had fun regardless.
Kirtika_R, Oct 2021

Beautiful sunset; glass of bubbly on arrival; cheese, kabana, crackers snacks (offered twice). Disappointed no commentary on board, just captain chatting with guests. Also no marine creatures sighted.
