Chose to go on the lunch cruise for a belated birthday present for my mum. 4 Adults and 1 child. Beautiful spot next to the window although there are options to sit upstairs on the deck too. Bar available with cocktails. beer, wine etc pricing is regular Prosecco $66 per bottle. Food was lovely - simplistic but great. Mussels, prawns, ham and chicken. Garden salad, pasta salad and coleslaw. Bread rolls and pavlovas for dessert. Staff were great. Nothing too much trouble. Provided our son with a colouring kit too. Thoroughly enjoyed this day - perfect weather and gorgeous experience

The sightseeing cruise was an excellent experience. My wife and I both enjoyed it, as did the food. The ambiance inside the cruise was pretty relaxed and well organised by the crew.
