EVERYTHING! The cruise was awesome, seeing the city and the sunset from the water was beautiful. The drinks and food was fresh and catered for all, just A-MAZ-ING. The staff were exceptional! They made us feel so welcome from the moment we boarded until we had to go home. Everyone in our party of 38 had a fantastic night. Everyone was smiling and chatting and laughing and wandering the boat and taking pictures. Excellent value for money. Will do again.

Vey much enjoyed the cruise, the sunset, the ambience, the friendly crew, and the dining, However.... when it came to the desserts I was very excited to see Apple and Muntrie crumble on the menu but when I fronted up to the bain-marie imagine my utter despair at seeing the Muntries had been replaced with Mangoes. WHERE ARE THE MUNTRIES ? Look, rather than risk a diplomatic incident with the French crew member who wasn't even sure what a Muntrie even is, I humbly forward you a link to https://www.niniwell.com.au/ who is a mate of mine who farms them in Western Victoria and sends them all round Oz. He advises there is a shortage due to climate constraints but he has plenty freeze dried with your name on them. I'm here to help so if you get a supply of them please send a couple of portions down to me in Melbourne and I'l try and give you that fifth star.

My sister-in-law and I enjoyed our sunset cruise. Our outdoor dining was amazing. A perfect dining experience to see the sunset. Our only complaint unfortunately, was that by the time we came to get our meal there was not much left, especially your desserts, apart from this we had a very memorable cruise. Rosanna and Gisa

Well it would be easier to say what dislikes as there were none. Anyway for the likes the boat was layed out well with plenty of room to move around without being overcrowded and stuffy. The staff were very polite and helpful throughout. The meal was enjoyable with enough variety to satisfy everyone's taste buds and plenty of it. Then to top it off the view of the lights gave us a good understanding of the size of Darwin. Congratulations, well done by all involved. Thank you, Garry.
