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.

The cruise is great however disappointed with the food. It was left on bar and not announced to people. Do if you weren’t paying attention you missed out

Despite the weather during the day, it started to clear as the cruise set off. The overall experience was quite pleasant as the clouds cleared in time as the sun set to provide an almost perfect sunset. The cruise itself was very enjoyable.

We had a very lovely night sailing around the sea. Didn't see any turtles but that was out of your control. Lovely staff and went out of their way to make your trip enjoyable 😀

Very calm and relaxed cruise. Would recommend for anyone who has mobility issues as very easy on and off and can move around boat deck easily. My only complaint was not the quality of the food but the quantity. The nibbles platter only came around once, you could go to the bar and help yourself but based on other similar cruises I have been on this was my only complaint. The music was excellent. The atmosphere was the best I've been on.
