5.00The Cape Adieu Sunset Dinner Cruise was a five star experience we are so very pleased we did. When we got to the wharf just before the 5pm the weather wasn't looking great as black clouds had appeared. The staff were great and suggested we relax and get a drink at the nearby bar as they were going to delay the start until the rain passed. This is exactly what happened - there was a big downpour which we enjoyed the spectacle of after our three week holiday in Northern Territory in complete dry and extreme heat. We were then called onto the boat and allocated to Table 2 on the front deck which suited us perfectly. We had no cover but the rain had stopped and the staff were busy drying the tables and seating so all was quickly dry. Darcy was our server and she attended to us and the fifteen or so others on that deck with friendliness, helpfulness and efficiency. There was an extensive drinks menu with cocktails, wine, beers, spirits, etc. I opted for a Pink Panther cocktail (Pink lemonade, vodka, Malibu,lime) which I'd never heard of but was the perfect drink as it was so refreshing. My husband had a Green Ant Gin and Tonic complete with green ant which is apparently a delicacy in this part of the world. I resisted that one. The sun was back out and we were only half an hour or so late leaving. This was added to the end of the cruise so we didn't miss out at all. Apparently this was the first time rain had disrupted their sailing since starting the business last year but we didn't see any sign of that as all the staff handled it so well. Everything was fantastic - the sunset, the food, the people we chatted to on the next table and we even had a marriage proposal! One minute a young couple were taking photos at the bow of the boat near us and next he was down on bended knee. She said yes! The food was outstanding - how they produced this in a boat galley I do not know - it was worthy of a Michelin starred restaurant. We had a delicious appetiser - an 'Amuse Bouche' and then a platter with ceviche, oysters and prawns. All were delicious. For main course there was a choice of Local NT Barramundi or Wattle Seed and Pepper Berry Scotch Fillet and we chose one of each. Both were perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Dessert was a creme custard base with strawberries, blueberries and kiwi fruit. Again all delicious and beautifully presented. I was avoiding drinking too much as being on a boat I was not sure of the toilet situation. Then the lady next to me told me it was fabulous and I should go and see it. She was right! It was down some steps behind the captain (so I got a great view of the ship's bridge) and was really nice to my amazement. Spotless clean and spacious with lovely toiletries - it could not have been further from my expectations. Too bad I didn't have time for another cocktail! There were other rooms next to it - the boat was a lot bigger than I expected below deck. All the guests were seated on the outside level decks - this was the private area of the boat for the owners. Top tip: We only booked Cape Adieu a couple of days before when we were arriving in Darwin on The Ghan. Lots of people on the train seemed to be doing a sunset cruise once in Darwin so we started looking at them. The one everyone seemed to be doing was booked up so we quickly booked Cape Adieu as there was space (the last two places I suspect as it was full). How lucky we were! When we came to board the vessel that The Ghan people were on was near Cape Adieu - it was a huge catamaran with most seating inside a big cabin that looked soulless. We were so glad that one was full and we got on Cape Adieu. We can highly recommend everything about Cape Adieu - we had the most lovely evening and will always remember it.
A "5 Star Experience"

5.00This is no ordinary harbour cruise. Right from the 'welcome aboard' we knew that this was going to be a memorable experience. An amazing four course meal, apparently prepared by the versatile skipper Munro - amazing seafood and steaks, worthy of a 5 star restaurant. Grace and the rest of the crew could not have been more obliging. We recommend this to anyone visiting Darwin.
Wonderful relaxing evening

5.00Very relaxed make sure you have a big brined hat or baseball cap to keep the sun out if your eyes perfect.
