Overview

Mobile ticket
The Sundowner Airlie Beach Sunset cruise sets sail from Coral Sea Marina Airlie Beach. Enjoy a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and nibbles while we cruise around the bay for two hours. The bar on board is fully licensed, for further drink purchases. Sorry, no BYO.
Sundowner is a fully undercover, purpose built catamaran designed for socialising, and unlike a yacht, we have a flat surface and no trip hazards. There is ample room to move, and high heels are welcome.
We circumnavigate the Airlie Beach waterfront around Pioneer Bay. As we have very little draft we are able are able to get up close and personal to the many points of interest along the Whitsunday coastline, and enjoy a bit of turtle spotting in Turtle Bay.
Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands provide the perfect back drop for our sunset cruises, as well as our other cruises including private charters for birthdays, corporate groups, weddings or any celebration.
This is a family friendly cruise.
