Highlights
  • Coral Sea Marina - Unwind in the ambiance of a Whitsunday sunset, as you see in the evening from dusk to dark. Watch the lights of Airlie Beach while enjoying your favourite tipple from our fully licensed bar. Sundowner offers a relaxing social atmosphere for connecting to new people and sharing experiences.

Sundowner is a fully covered purpose built catamaran designed for socialising, and unlike a yacht, we have a flat surface and no trip hazards. There is ample room to move, and high heels are welcome.

Sundowner departs from Able Point Marina, Northern Village which is only a short walk from the main street of Airlie Beach. Abell Point Marina is a vibrant award winning marina which includes the award winning Hemmingways Restaurant with uninterrupted views across the marina and Sorrento’s Restaurant & Bar located alongside the boardwalk in the Northern Village.

We circumnavigate Pioneer Bay and as we have very little draft we are able are able to get up close and personal to the many points of interest, including Mandalay Point, Cannonvale Beach and a bit of Turtle spotting in Turtle Bay.

Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday islands provide the perfect back drop for our sunset cruises, as well as our other cruises including private charters for birthdays, corporate groups, weddings or any celebration.

Additional Information

Sundowner enjoys local popularity and has been in service for 16 years. It’s a purpose-built catamaran, constructed with a focus on social interactions, and, distinct from a yacht, it has a level deck and devoid of trip hazards. It delivers abundant space to roam, and high heels are not a problem.

The internal layout is ideal for mingling or cultivating romance. A lengthwise table at the center, flanked with chairs, is just right for relaxation and chatter or if it’s an intimate moment you seek with your significant other, opt for the side ottoman, presenting an impressive view of the islands as the sun disappears.

Sundowner runs a fully licensed bar from which you can buy extra drinks, choosing from 6 types of wine, 4 kinds of beer, and a range of basic spirits.

Fabulous Sunset Tour - The staff were fantastic they engaged very well with all guests right from when we stepped aboard. We were greeted with a glass of sparkling wine or soft drink and there was a shared snack platter. We had a very memorable sunset and a great photo opportunity, we had photos taken as part of the tour. The photos are on the website for you to download for free. On the return trip there was a party atmosphere with music we all sang along to. I would recommend this tour to other families, couples and even if you are single you will have the best time.

Great way to start the evening with family - What an amazing atmosphere! The staff were fantastic, and the drinks were reasonably priced. The food was as advertised - simple nibbles. The music was a mix of old and new tunes, and everyone was singing along. It really created a great vibe. We were lucky enough to witness a beautiful sunset, but then it started raining. Luckily, the area was fully covered, so it didn't bother anyone, it certainly didn't dampen our mood. Overall, I would highly recommend this sunset cruise to start your evening.

Stunning sunset cruise, great people and hosts - We love this sunset cruise! I've done it twice and it never fails to disappoint. The scenery is beautiful, we even saw turtles! This most recent time there was a slight delay in getting the captain on board (through no fault of the company's), and they couldn't have been more accomodating. They kept us entertained, gave us a free drink, and when the captain arrived they still took us out for the planned amount of time. So got even more of this wonderful experience than if everything had gone to plan! I'd recommend this to anyone looking to see a bit more of the Whitsundays. Your photos (and memories) will be incredible!

Party Boat - Great team and great service, very informative Captain. The boat was very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon around the foreshore of Airlie Beach topped off with a lovely sunset over the hills. The music was pumping!

Smooth sailing - Crew were friendly and good to speak with. It was good we did not have a full boat so plenty of room to move around. Unfortunately beyond control was a loud couple of men who obviously didn’t know time and place for behaviour. Otherwise very relaxed couple of hours.

Budget cruise budget service - I was looking forward to this cruise being a little more informative about the local area and marine life.. I felt it was a more of a party boat and the encouragement of alcohol was primary focus. Strict rules were expected of guests around food safety which was good however a staff member was handling food with his bare hands..
