Wonderful! - We did the Sip and sail sunset cruise and I can't recommend it enough! This was definitely the highlight of our quick trip away to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
The boat was beautiful and comfortable. The wines were great with a vast selection to choose from, as well as the lovely cheese and fruit platter.
Clayton and Jasper were amazing hosts who looked after us splendidly.
It's evident that the organisers of this tour take great pride in providing a first class, quality experience to their customers and at a very reasonable price... A must do when visiting Magnetic Island and Townsville.

A must do experience, more relaxing than a massage ❤️ - The whole experience was so good. I thought I might get a little seasick but I was fine and it was such a lovely and relaxing experience. We learnt a lot about the Pilgrim and the captain and first mate were wonderful, friendly and great hosts. Thank you

Superb Sailing Experience - The sailing boat was beautiful and crew members, Clayton and Vron, took great care of us right from the get-go. I had some trepidation as I have suffered from motion sickness in the past and hadn't sailed before. My partner and I are also in the 60-70 age bracket. Clayton made sure I was sitting in least rolling part of the yacht and Vron's sail wrangling and hosting skills were awe inspiring. Whether on the ropes running up sails or balancing food and drink while repositioning guests on beanbags at the front of the yacht, her poise and kindness were fantastic. She also took photos of all of the three couples on the yacht. Ours turned out much better than any selfie we could have taken.

Perfect way to end the day - Perfect way to end a day, sailing into the sunset. Unfortunately I got a little seasick, but the crew looked after me very well.

Serene cruise on a fabulous boat, with great crew - I very rarely give five star reviews, but this cruise was the perfect ending to a fabulous holiday. Not only is the boat fabulous, the cruise very serene and calming, but the food supplied was great (we have dietary requirements) and the crew amazing. The history of the boat is very interesting, as is the experience of the Captain. If you get an opportunity to chat with him then take it, as that was an equally satisfying part of the cruise.
