5.00We had a lovely sunset cruise with Sailaway in Port Douglas. The crew and skipper were fantastic and made sure all guests were looked after. The nibbles were great and drinks were good prices after you had your complementary drink. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a sunset cruise.
Great experience, lovely...

4.00Great staff, great experience. It was wonderful to be out on the water. At times it was a bit rocky but that’s the ocean. Mark our captain 🧑✈️ had it all under control.

5.00We went for a sunset cruise on the 7/10/25. The boat was awesome and the crew were even better. Highly recommend it for a relaxing couple of hours.
Beautiful trip except not enough covered seating in the rain.

4.00Although our experience started out not great it ended up better by the end. Unfortunately it was raining at the start and there weren’t enough covered seats for everyone. Several of us had to stand in corners in the cabin and the crew did not seem to make an effort to try to accommodate. However there were yummy snacks and beverages, the rain stopped about halfway through and we were all able to go outside and enjoy the return trip. So my recommendation would be to reschedule if weather iffy!
A must do!

1.00Wind and water were out of control many passengers sick we went around 20 minutes out and it was not relaxing everyone was getting thrown around. We came back and just went up and down the inlet. Cruise should have been terminated and credit given this was in there power, not seeing a sunset either was also disappointing but that is out of their control.
