A great experience. The staff were helpful and informative. We sat in comfortable chairs, sipping drinks, eating cheese and biscuits, while enjoying sailing across beautiful waters out of Port Douglas.

A beautiful cruise into the Sunset aboard the Sailway sipping a cold one and enjoying the spectacular views.
A great cruise out of Port Douglas. Skipper and deck hand were terrific. Got a little right, though haha.

Vodka & Oxyshred afloat !!
We couldn’t speak more highly of these guys! From the moment we arrived, they were both so accommodating towards the entire group. They both constantly walked around the boat, checking to make sure no one was getting sea sick and offered to refill our drinks and cheese platters.. They made the entire experience very enjoyable.

Wonderful experience- highly recommended!

So relaxing
Beautiful, sunny afternoon with very calm waters. This tour only takes about 12 people and there was one other group and ourselves, 2 people, which makes this cruise were personal. Brought our own drink and very much enjoyed the platter. We sat out the front and the hostess served us out there and kept checking if we needed anything. It was just so relaxing. Would very much recommend this cruise

Must See in Port Douglas
We had a fantastic private sunset sail aboard Indigo in Port Douglas. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made everyone feel welcome with their friendly, relaxed, and professional service. The boat was beautifully maintained, and sailing along the coastline as the sun set over the mountains was absolutely stunning. The atmosphere was peaceful and unhurried, making it the perfect way to unwind and take in the beauty of Port Douglas. The drinks and snacks were excellent, and the crew shared interesting local knowledge while ensuring everyone was comfortable throughout the cruise. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality really made the experience special. If you're visiting Port Douglas, I highly recommend a sunset sail on Indigo. It's a memorable experience, great value, and one of the highlights of our trip.

Great cruise
Had a lovely time, we booked out the whole yacht for our family of 11, catered for us all, and when a few of us got a little sea sick they were happy to alter the course so we all had a great time, would very much do it again.

A lovely way to spend a couple of hours. This was my third time on the boat and have enjoyed it every time. Will do it again.

Sailing Bliss
Very relaxing. A perfect way to start your evening. Sit back, breathe in the ocean breeze and take a moment to appreciate where you are, and appreciate the views of the hinterland as the sunsets over it.
