Description

The Sundowner Airlie Beach Sunset cruise sets sail from Coral Sea Marina Airlie Beach. Enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and nibbles while we cruise around the bay for two hours. The bar on board is fully licensed, for further drink purchases. Sorry, no BYO. Sundowner is a fully undercover, purpose built catamaran designed for socialising, and unlike a yacht, we have a flat surface and no trip hazards. There is ample room to move, and high heels are welcome. We circumnavigate the Airlie Beach waterfront around Pioneer Bay. As we have very little draft we are able are able to get up close and personal to the many points of interest along the Whitsunday coastline, and enjoy a bit of turtle spotting in Turtle Bay. Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands provide the perfect back drop for our sunset cruises, as well as our other cruises including private charters for birthdays, corporate groups, weddings or any celebration. This is a family friendly cruise.

Great cruise with a...

Great cruise with a sunset, we even saw dolphins. Probably no need to come 20 min before scheduled departure as they say as the boarding started 20 min AFTER the scheduled departure time.

Service was amazing

Service was great, Kira was so friendly and helpful making sure everyone was well taken care of. Even though it was only her behind the bar she still made everything run so smoothly and looked after everyone. I don’t remember the captains name but he was also super friendly and we had a great boat ride. Platters were delicious and was a great atmosphere
