We did the Sip & Sail Sunset Cruise with Pilgrim Sailing this week and it was a wonderful experience — a real highlight of our time on the island. Clayton did a fantastic job as skipper and made us feel completely safe and relaxed from the moment we stepped onboard. The sail itself was beautiful and unhurried, with a perfect sunset backdrop. A definite highlight was the cheese platter, especially the serving of Clare’s Pumpkin Chutney, which was absolutely delicious. The selection of wine and beer was excellent, with thoughtful non-alcoholic options as well. Relaxed, well run, and genuinely special — this is a must-do for anyone visiting Magnetic Island. Highly recommended.

We had our 1st booking cancelled by the company due to bad weather and tried again the following day and though the rain had eased with wind picked up Thankfully the company was more concerned about safety than anything

10/10. An amazing sunset cruise. We had Jasper and Clayton who were welcoming, polite and very attentive. Very nice food and drinks to choose from. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
