Im a local of Airlie Beach. I've been on this trip 3 times in the last 4 years or so when family come to stay. We have never been disappointed. The crew are fantastic and it's a peaceful way to watch the sunset with friends and family. It's great to see the town from a different perspective. We will go again!

Short wait to get into the boat but once on board we were offered one complimentary drink. Staff were friendly and engaging and happy to interact with clients. Great music and photo opportunities and good variety of drinks to purchase on board. Sadly no sunset on this day but calm waters and nice breeze.

Had a great couple of hours on the boat.Great team who work together to ensure the guests have a good time. The drinks are not as expensive as I expected in fact cheaper than the pubs. The nibbles were lovely and regularly replenished.A nice excursion which doesn’t break the bank.Thoroughly recommend it.

Nice experience, but didnt exceed expectations on any front. Sunset is beautiful, staff are helpful and boat is comfortable.We had been expecting a bit more of a quiet cruise over the water, but this boat was what I would describe as a 'Party Boat'. Hen's parties, intro to a night out- then this is the experience for you. My partner and I had hoped for a more intimate, calming cruise over the water to take in the sights so were disappointed on that front. Also as described as a catamaran, we had expected an open deck to sprawl out on but it was more a covered deck surrounding a bar.Do not count on getting more than a couple of crackers from the tasting platter; this was definitely an area that was lacking. Very much budget type 'platter' and really only enough for a couple of crackers and dip each.

Such an amazing experience on the Airlie beach at sunset. The crew were amazing, especially Rob. Thanks for the great vibe you created on the cruise. Thanks to Capt. Tim for letting my wife steer for a while. Great music and lights. Free bubbles, yay, and snacks. The view was amazing and so romantic.

Jasmine and Adrian were an absolute vibe. They really lifted up the vibe even when the weather wasn’t the best. Bar onboard is reasonably priced. Bring cash so you can tip the legends 💕

My Wife and I had an amazing sunset Cruise and dinner at Sorrentos, the staff were amazing, they displayed great professionalism and Hospitality, a light hearted sense of humour leading to a relaxed atmosphere. The views were spectacular and the ride was exceptionally smooth. The short of it is that your holiday has not started until you have had a sunset cruise and dinner

We went to celebrate our birthdays. Wonderful way to see the water and land around Airlie Beach. Great nibbles and glass of bubbly with attentive service if you wanted more drinks. Free sunset photo was an unexpected surprise. Thanks to the two Robs for making our night and the start of our holiday.

This was an amazing cruise with such a lovely captain to guide us through it, sailed around the harbour and saw a beautiful sunset. The highlight for me however, was the incredible hospitality of the staff... I booked this for my girlfriend's birthday, and despite leaving plenty of time to arrive for boarding, the taxi services of Airlie completely failed me that night. Miraculously, the captain agreed to wait 10 minutes past the scheduled departure time for the groundskeeper of my accommodation to drive us over in his ute. I was extremely grateful for good people in the world that day, thank you so much Sundowner for allowing me to treat my girlfriend to an amazing experience.
