Had a great night despite a small amount of rain early which the crew made a big effort to avoid. Relaxed and enjoyable crew whilst a focus on safety.

Fabulous sunset cruise. Clayton and Jasper were wonderful hosts, serving delicious wine and cheeses. My husband even had a chance to steer the boat! 100% recommend!

Absolutely stunning cruise!! Would highly recommend! From start to finish the crew made sure we were safe and all okay during boarding! I can’t recommend this cruise!! Absolutely amazing service from Paul, Chebone, Annabelle. The cheeseboard and unlimited wine was incredible! Would definitely go on this cruise again! I’m still gutted it’s finished!!! Thank you for such amazing cruise! Best highlight of our Aus trip so far!!! The sunset was absolutely stunning too!!!

Not just one of the best excursions we’ve done in Australia but one of the best on any holiday. The experience itself was amazing which was supported by the amazing crew. Not one thing to fault it.

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.
