Lovely night for a Sunset Cruise
Heather211, September 2026
A beautiful way to finish our holiday, Sunset Cruise and 3 course dinner. Staff friendly, small group, sunset perfect. Would recommend this trip.
Response from the operator · Munro Hardy Gday Heather, thanks so much for the review and the recommendation! What a way to finish a holiday, a perfect sunset over the harbour with dinner on deck. Next time you're up, come out on a fishing charter with us in the morning and we'll cook your catch on board for your sunset cruise that evening, our Catch, Cook & Cruise.
Cheers

The most hospitable cruise on Darwin Harbour
I8029UVelizabetht, September 2026
Grace and Munro were fantastic hosts. The atmosphere was lovely, meals delicious and Gus our server was incredibly attentive to our needs. The best cruise I’ve had on the harbour, can’t wait to do another one!
Response from the operator · Munro Hardy Gday Elizabeth, thanks so much for the lovely review! We'll pass that on to Gus, he'll be stoked. There's nothing more Top End than a harbour sunset with a good meal, and the only thing that tops it is a fishing charter with us in the morning then us cooking your catch on board that evening, our Catch, Cook & Cruise.
Cheers
