On board the vessel there is indoor and outdoor seating, providing comfort while maximising your experience.

Great little cruise around with my son beautiful weather and nice atmosphere the staff were very accommodating and friendly will come back again and do this boat trip again
Hello, thank you for your review of our Cape Cruise, we are glad to hear that your family enjoyed the beautiful weather and how well the staff looked after you on board. We hope to see you on board again very soon.
Nice short tour along the coast, quite enjoyable. Gives you a different perspective of the area. Was a smooth ride. Didn't see any marine life
Hello Carla, thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed the Cape Cruise with a smooth ride and seeing the coastline from a different perspective. The Cape Woolamai area is primarily a marine bird habitat. We do see marine life feeding in the area however, marine life can be unpredictable. We would love to see you on board one of our Whale Cruises if you are interested.
Was such fun. You have the option to be upstairs or downstairs and out on the deck or below warm. They serve coffee and delicious cake. Wear warm clothing in colder months as it is quite cold on the water. I would do this again
Thank you Lisa for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise with us and look forward to welcoming you back on board in the future.
This was a nice trip from San Remo. 1 hour. Viewing Cape Woolami and the cave in particular was very cool.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed your experience with us, the cave certainly is a spectacular sight. Thanks again for joining us and we hope to welcome you back on board soon.
Excellent experience. Great views, punctual and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Must do activity.
Thank you for a lovely review! We appreciate the kind words and are very happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us. Thank you again for joining us onboard.
Fabulous. We just wanted a short trip and it was perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are glad our 1 hour Cape Cruise was exactly what you were after. Thank you again for joining us and we hope to see you again soon.
my only point is that the commentary could have been more in depth as we were only given information about the quarry, seals and birds. Nothing about the bridge - year built, span distance, the bridge it replaced and where it was, tides, the island itself, there was time for this on the way to the cape and on the return trip. Maybe it could put on a recording, to save repetition for the captain. everything else very good. Regards John
Hi John, Thanks very much for taking the time to share this feedback. You make a fair point about the commentary, and it’s helpful to know you would have enjoyed some varied information. We try to strike a balance between commentary and giving guests time to relax and enjoy the scenery, but your comments are a good reminder that there’s often room to add more depth, especially on quieter legs of the trip. Our commentary is delivered live rather than recorded so it can respond to conditions on the day and what we’re seeing at the time, but we’ll certainly take your suggestion on board as we continue to improve. Please also know that our crew are always more than happy to chat and answer any questions throughout the cruise, whether it’s about the bridge, local history, wildlife or anything else that catches your interest. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of the experience. Kind regards,
We had a great time on the cruise! The views were absolutely stunning and the experience was so relaxing and enjoyable. The crew was friendly and made the trip even better. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Phillip Island!
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re thrilled to hear you had such a relaxing and enjoyable time, and that the views and crew helped make it extra special. Phillip Island really shines from the water. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back onboard again soon
Beautiful ferry ride to see the sights of Cape Woolamai. Pefectly age appropriate for my 7 and 4 year olds who loved it. Scenery is beautiful - a good excuse for taking a boat ride. 1 hour length is perfect for the kids. Lucky enough to have seen some seals as well! Staff and crew all really professional and knowledgeable.
Hi Peter! Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear our Cape Cruise was a great fit for your family and that the kids enjoyed their time on the water. It’s wonderful you were able to spot some seals too! We hope to welcome you and your family back on board again for another coastal adventure!
It was refreshing, not too long, and not too crowded, good commentary too and exceptional navigation/driving skills
Hi Keith, thank you for your review! We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the pace of the cruise, the commentary and your time on the water. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to the skipper. Exceptional boat handling always makes for a smoother, more enjoyable experience. We hope to see you back on board again soon!
