It is great, exactly as described in their website. Boat is comfortable, food is excellent. However they have done the last one for 2026.

Lovely night for a Sunset Cruise
A beautiful way to finish our holiday, Sunset Cruise and 3 course dinner. Staff friendly, small group, sunset perfect. Would recommend this trip.
Operator response
Gday Heather, thanks so much for the review and the recommendation! What a way to finish a holiday, a perfect sunset over the harbour with dinner on deck. Next time you're up, come out on a fishing charter with us in the morning and we'll cook your catch on board for your sunset cruise that evening, our Catch, Cook & Cruise. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

The most hospitable cruise on Darwin Harbour
Grace and Munro were fantastic hosts. The atmosphere was lovely, meals delicious and Gus our server was incredibly attentive to our needs. The best cruise I’ve had on the harbour, can’t wait to do another one!
Operator response
Gday Elizabeth, thanks so much for the lovely review! We'll pass that on to Gus, he'll be stoked. There's nothing more Top End than a harbour sunset with a good meal, and the only thing that tops it is a fishing charter with us in the morning then us cooking your catch on board that evening, our Catch, Cook & Cruise. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

A great night out on the harbour for sunset.
Loved this journey on the harbour. Couldn't have asked for a better evening. The whole meal was fantastic but the pannacotta was just sensational! Thanks!
Operator response
Gday Sean, thanks so much for the review! We'll let the galley know the pannacotta was a hit, it's a crew favourite too. So glad you had such a good night out on your own harbour, come back and see us anytime. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

Unmissable top end experience
My God the food was good! The lovely friendly man helping us with drinks from Brazil, a beautiful heritage vessel and an expertly skippered smooth sailing experience all contributed to making this an evening to really remember. Thank you to all at Cape Adieu!
Operator response
Gday Sean, thanks so much for the review, all the way from Orange! We love our old girl and our crew, so it means a lot that you noticed both. Next time you're up, come out on a fishing charter with us for some bluewater action. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

Sunset cruise
Great sunset cruise! Service, food and overall experience was fantastic. Recommend!
Operator response
Gday, and thanks so much for the recommendation! So glad the sunset, the food and the crew all came together for you. If you want to go one better next time, come fishing with us in the morning and we'll cook your catch on board for the sunset cruise, our Catch, Cook & Cruise. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

Outstanding food and service
This was an incredible evening of deliciously prepared and presented gourmet food, excellent service, very gentle cruising! And all shared with the love of my life, my hubby of 38 years!!! The captain’s wife was so sweet to bring a hat for my husband when she noticed him squinting in the sun. Very thoughtful. And she made special accommodation for us to sit on the lower deck so he didn’t have to navigate stairs. This was well worth the money and so glad we discovered this smaller and more intimate cruise.
Operator response
Gday Carla, thanks so much for such a beautiful review! 38 years together is something special and we're honoured you spent an evening of it with us. Grace will be chuffed you mentioned the hat, that's exactly how we want everyone to feel on board. Come back and see us anytime. Cheers The Cape Adieu Crew

Darwin harbour cruise
Friendly staff, harbour is beautiful - bring sunnies and a hat! Dinner was okay - nothing to write home about.
Operator response
Thanks for the honest feedback Rina. Really glad the crew and the harbour were good to you, but dinner should be a highlight rather than just okay, and we are sorry it fell short. If you would like to talk it through, give us a call on 0439 893 939. — The Cape Adieu crew
