We’ll be back!
What a great team operating a top notch vessel. The food Louise prepared and continually did the rounds with was sensational, and Adrian skippers and manoeuvres that massive beast like he’s flicking around on an electric scooter! Awesome night, plenty of places to sit back, relax with a well priced ice cold beer (cheaper than the pub) and soak it all in. Cheers guys, we will be back for sure.

An Incredible Experience
We had an incredible experience on our first sunset cruise in Mackay, celebrating our engagement anniversary. Despite cloudy weather at first, we were treated to a stunning sunset and an electrifying lightning show! The food was fantastic—so many delicious nibbles! My fiance’s favorite was the flavorful pork and beef meatballs, while I loved the prawns served on sourdough with a mouthwatering sauce.
