"The sunset fish 'n chips cruise was a beautiful way to end our day in Darwin. It was well organised and informative, with nature throwing in a pod of frolicking dolphins, sea eagles and a gorgeous sunset. The boat was clean and comfortable and the fresh fish and chips, delish! It was a highlight of our NT visit. We would definitely do it again."
Diana and Eduard, from NSW
All aboard for a sunset cruise on Darwin Harbour! Leaving Stokes Hill Wharf with a complementary refreshment in your hand, we’ll potter out from Kitchener Bay stopping to draw your attention to the magnificent expanse of Darwin Harbour and its fascinating landmarks. And then, hold onto your hats!
We’ll leave other boats in our wake as we take you up close to the sights and sounds of the Darwin city seascape. You’ll be treated to stories of this part of town while the crew picks up your dinner of deliciously fresh, local, wild caught fish with chips from our award-winning catering partners..
"We had a wonderful Sea Darwin experience. My wife and my daughters really enjoyed it, and we love the fact that it's a family run business".
Luis, from San Fransisco
As you eat your dinner on board, we’ll use our local knowledge to take you to the best place to enjoy the delightfully warm breeze, exquisite tropical sunset and harbour full of intrigue. The tide, wind, weather and season will be considered as the Captain turns the boat in a particular direction.
You may experience a walk on the Fannie Bay sandbar or enjoy your meal amongst a pod of frolicking dolphins or dugong. Sometimes we may visit the Sadgroves bird sanctuary and other times we'll just cruise around the glistening harbour, taking in nature's extraordinarily-coloured sky at this time of day - it's like an artwork!
"We really enjoyed the cruise, it was really good value. The fish'n chips were fresh and tasty and it was great to see so much of the harbour."
Rex and Marlene, from Tasmania
