Relaxing Sunset Cruise

It was a very relaxing experience and everything ran right on time, just as stated on the ticket. We were welcomed aboard with a complimentary drink, and snacks were provided throughout the cruise. The views were absolutely stunning, especially as the sun began to set over the islands. It was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Whitsundays. I highly recommend this cruise for couples, families, or anyone looking to relax and spend quality time with their loved ones while taking in the amazing views.

Not very good

It state on ticket 5pm leaving and need to be there 15min before the time we arrived 4:36 to find boat left at 4:30 and after my email complaining i got a email to say cruise was cancelled due to weather not very professional

Operator response

Hi, Sorry about your disappointment. Checkin is at 1645 and boat sails at 1700 as is on ticket. If cruise was cancelled due to bad weather we always try and contact guests via the phone.If they don't answer we send a text and email usually well before scheduled sail time.

Bad service

Finally left port 15 minutes late after being told to arrive early. Weather looked threatening,although skipper told me he had checked weather radar.Neither of the crew introduced themselves. Lifejackets were ancient and safety demonstration poor on how to put them on. We got out of the Marina and it teemed with rain and blew a gale so skipper decides too windy and wet so heads in an hour early. This is not a good way to operate a business.crew were very disorganised and seemed very inexperienced. We all should have been offered a refund or better still check weather before we leave and cancel.

Operator response

Sorry to hear this Amanda. We have some inaccurate forecasts over the past two weeks which has led to unhappiness all round. So we do apologise. We always cancel if rain is on the radar and this time it hadn't shown up.

It was nice but not amazing. We were thinking about moving at sunset but the sailboat simply left the port and hovered for 1 hour. It was nice and the staff was really friendly but the experience lacks movement. Besides, we were pretty tight on the boat, about 25 people.

Beautiful evening on the water

This evening voyage actually does not do a lot of sailing, but it is a lovely way to spend a late afternoon! We cruised out of the harbor, the crew hoisted two of Providence V’s sails, and we sipped sparkling wine and enjoying a gourmet cheese and crackers tray while we waited for the sun to set. It was a wonderful way to spend two hours out on the water!

Operator response

Hi Barbara Thanks so much for your kind review and glad you got to catch our tropical sunset.

Complaint Regarding Missed Tour Due to Flight Delay and Lack of Customer Support

My flight was delayed, which caused me to miss this trip. I tried to contact customer service proactively before the activity started, but I did not receive any response. I wasn’t able to coordinate or resolve the issue at all, and the overall experience was very disappointing.

Operator response

Thanks for your review. We do offer cancellations up to 24 hours prior but we did not hear from you until the skipper was calling out your name at checkin.

We had such a wonderful time on the sunset cruise aboard Providence, sailing out of Airlie Beach. From the moment we stepped on board, we were warmly welcomed by the captain and his partner, who were both incredibly friendly, relaxed and genuinely hospitable. They made everyone feel at home straight away. The tall ship itself is beautiful and full of character, and watching the sun set while gliding across the water was absolutely magical. The atmosphere on board was calm and inviting, with drinks and nibbles served thoughtfully and plenty of time to relax and take in the views. The crew were happy to chat, share stories and ensure everyone was comfortable throughout the sail. It was a truly special experience and a perfect way to enjoy the Whitsundays. We left feeling relaxed, well looked after and very grateful for such a memorable evening. Highly recommended.

Operator response

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! 🌅 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the sunset sail aboard Providence V and felt so welcomed by the captain and crew. It’s wonderful to hear the atmosphere, views and overall experience made for such a memorable Whitsundays evening. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board again one day ⚓✨
