We did the Moon Rising and Sunset tour on the 4th November which just happened to be the night of the super moon. The sail was fantastic and we were so well looked after by Paul and Jasper. The drinks and platter of cheeses, chutney and fruit was very generous and delicious. Just a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend

Wonderful hospitality, very friendly crew. Once we had motored out of Nellie Bay the sails were employed. Wine and beer were plentiful and the nibbles platter was lovely. Due to the clouds the sunset was not easily seen but it gives us an excuse to do this again. Highly recommend this experience.

We had a mid-week sunset cruise on the Pilgrim. There were a total of 14 passengers and two crew. There is conventional seating as well as beanbags. The cruise was pretty smooth and comes with complimentary drinks and a cheese board. This experience comes highly recommended and I can see why.

The Sunset sip 'n' sail is an experience we have had a few times and we are already looking forward to our next time! The timing, the care and hospitality, and the warmth of the crew make the spectacular trip comfortable and rewarding. The drinks menu and platters offered are first class and next time I'll remember to get the recipe for the labna!

As an island resident I have often seen Pilgrim sailing the beautiful waters of Cleveland Bay taking lucky people on a sunset experience. With my granddaughter and partner visiting from Victoria I thought it was the ideal time to join the lucky ones and go on the sunset sip and sail cruise. We had a wonderful time leisurely sailing out into the bay and tacking around to sail home as the sun gently faded below Cape Pallarenda, a beautiful sight. All credit to the crew of Clayton and Jasper who made the cruise enjoyable and safe and to the owners Paul and Clare for making their boat available for tourists.

Great sunset sail experience. Beautiful views and knowledgeable skipper and crew. Lovely local nibbles and wine. Definitely worth doing. My mum really enjoyed and she’s 82 and not very mobile but was able to do this.

This sunset cruise was a fabulous opportunity to view the island and learn about the locals, definitely recommend if you’re after an eye opening escape at Magnetic Island.

This was the most relaxing afternoon I spent on Maggie. Wonderful skipper and deckhand spoilt us as did the beautiful sunset.

A glorious view of the island and sunset with a well informed skipper in Clay and deck hand in Jasper . Supply of drinks and nibles was generous. The vessel was very comfortable and we felt safe at all times. Would recommend to all from novice to experienced.

From the start we felt welcomed and well informed. Drinks kept coming and the platters we all got were absolutely delicious and locally sourced. And the experience of being on the water on sunset was stunning.
