WOW a must do - Wow,Wow, Wow,Absolutely fantastic afternoon. Well and truly exceeded expectations. Clay, Annabelle and Jasper were nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail and the way they looked after us was excellent. The lunch was very good and more than enough for everyone. We all had a wonderful day that we will not forget. It fitted in with our cruise ship stop which was great. Thanks

Fantastic Alternative Work Function. - Fantastic Day, Clare and the team were so easy to deal with. kept me up to date and communicated weekly prior to our trip. The crew knew what they were doing, plenty of knowledge and experience on the boat, we all felt safe and in good hands. The food and drinks were all locally sourced and of great quality. brilliant alternative for Xmas work function

Wonderful experience in casual setting - Good experience with an excellent crew that is responsive to each other and set up as a good host and hostess. Very serviceable and respectful which resulted in a nice and casual Mood on board. Birds and fish were occasionally fed which resulted in a beautiful spectacle. An experience we will not forget in a beautiful setting.

Top Magnetic Island Sailing Experience - We all enjoyed our day on “Pilgrim” immensely. Our skipper and his crew were excellent and made sure all on board had a most enjoyable time. This included swimming from the boat while at anchor for lunch. Lunch in Radical Bay was beautifully presented and of the highest quality. Sailing back to Nelly Bay showed us what a beautiful boat “Pilgrim” is. We highly recommend an outing on this boat to anyone visiting Magnetic Island.

Superb cruise and lunch. - Absolutely perfect experience. Weather was ideal, crew (Clayton and Siobhan) were first class, food was innovative and delicious and the boat was very comfortable for 2 (not so) young ladies with dodgy legs. Couldn’t recommend this cruise highly enough. First class from start to finish. Well done Pilgrim.

Lovely lunchtime cruise - We all had a great day out! Clayton and Jasper we exceptional hosts. The lunch with local produce was beautiful, especially the macadamia cheese! Swimming off the boat and seeing the turtles were the highlights of the day, along with hand feeding the local Kite! Would highly recommend this tour :) p.s Clayton had some interesting info about the yacht and its parts.
