Due to choppy seas our departure was changed from Nelly Bay to Horseshoe bay. Plenty of notice given with an Urgent email sent advising us what bus to catch to be there on time. We were transferred by tender to Pilgrim. Interesting experience boarding up the “ ladder” to get onboard. Once onboard and settled Eris was very welcoming and offered us drinks. My husband has an allergy to cheese. The pre ordered snack onboard was delicious. Beautifully presented. Lots of selection and perfect for my husband. I’d love to have seen a bit more scenery but totally understood why we remained in Horseshoe bay for our comfort and safety. Leyton was very interesting to talk to.

The crew and Paul were incredibly attentive and anticipated all the questions we could have had. We felt very well looked after the whole time. We had a wonderful time cruising around even with the little bit of wind and rain. The pumpkin chutney was a hit as well!

Pilgrim's Sip'n'Sail was a wonderful experience. Skipper, Paul, and crew, Siobahn, were interesting and delightful, and obviously very good at what they do. Yacht, Pilgrim, was a treat and a great place to be. Arrangements were very well organised and ran to scheduled times. Catering and service of drinks was also very smooth and worked amazingly well in the limited circumstances of a yacht. A little pre-sailing apprehension as regards potential for seasickness proved to be unfounded and both of us were absolutely fine in that regard. Many thanks to Pilgrim Magnetic Island for a delightful late afternoon/early evening.

This was the highlight of my trip to Magnetic Island! The most incredible sunset sail on a stunning sail boat (and yes, we sailed the whole time (no motor)). We got unlimited drinks (including local wines and beers) and a cheese board (dietary requirements catered for). Was very chilled vibes but absolutely incredible.

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.
