Description
A tranquil 2hr evening cruise through the pristine waters of the Sandy Straits at twilight watching the sunset over Hervey Bay is the perfect appetizer for your evening ahead.
Enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne as you soak up the changing colors of the bay. Keep your eyes peeled for our local dolphins and other wildlife that frequent the Marine Park at dusk. Kick back and relax as the sun sets behind the yardarm.
Early evening is a special time to be on the water. As everyone else heads for harbour marine wildlife comes out to play. You'll find the peacefulness of the water perfectly reflecting the evening light, and the lights of Hervey Bay twinkling in the distance mesmerizing.

Went in the sunset cruise. Whilst the experience was enjoyable the snacks are a small amount of cheese crackers, pickled onions and olives. The champagne was 120ml with no refill.
Staff matched the food.
Ate at the boat club with 10% discount food was reasonable. The courtesy bus ride home however was atrocious. The driver drove at speed and ran a red light.

Tropical champagne sunset cruise
Beautiful way to spend the end of the day. Sipping champagne while watching the sunset floating out in the water.
The sunset cruise has one drink included but you can then purchase drinks at at very low cost. $8.50 for a Sav Blanc!! So good.

Fabulous Sunset Viewing.
A most enjoyable sunset experience. The boat crew are friendly, experienced and professional. The Skipper went out of his way to ensure we saw the coastline in the best light plus, unexpectedly, we came across several whales cavorting and entertaining us. We had a thoroughly memorable evening experience. The trip is well priced and value for money.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you had such a memorable sunset cruise and enjoyed the whales and beautiful coastline. Captain Phil and his crew will be delighted to hear your kind words. We’re so glad you felt it was great value and hope to welcome you back for another special evening on the water.

Relaxing sunset cruise
It was an enjoyable cruise with family and friends. The staff were professional and very helpful. The ride out and back was calm although a bit slow at times. We had the opportunity to see dolphins and to get some fabulous photos of the sunset. I would definitely recommend this cruise to my family and friends.
