An evening on the harbour with drinks and the best sunset view in Darwin. The lighter way to see the city from the water.
Not everyone wants a sit-down dinner, and that's fine. The Sundowner cruise is about a cold drink, good company, and the best sunset view in Darwin. Board at 5pm, cruise out into the sunset, and be back by 8pm.
Perfect for couples, groups, or anyone who just wants a taste of the harbour without the full four course meal.
Licensed bar on board. No BYO food or alcohol.
The Cape Adieu is a 70-foot former working vessel with three open deck areas, so there's room to find your spot — up top in the breeze, out on the bow, or back near the bar. No crowding into a tour boat, no fighting for a view. Just the harbour opening up around you as the city lights come on.
Darwin's west-facing harbour gives you the kind of sunset the Top End is known for, and from the water there's nothing in the way of it. The licensed bar's open the whole cruise — grab a cold one and watch the sky do its thing.
Three hours on the water from 5pm to 8pm, a licensed bar, and the best sunset view in Darwin. Here's what's on board.

Your three-hour evening cruise on the harbour from 5pm to 8pm, aboard the MV Cape Adieu with its three open decks and the best sunset view in Darwin. There's a licensed bar on board where you can buy drinks — the ticket covers the cruise, not the drinks.
The Sundowner is a drinks cruise rather than a sit-down dinner, so there's no meal included and outside food isn't brought aboard. If you'd like the full four-course meal, that's the dinner cruise instead.
No — the boat is licensed, so all drinks are bought from the bar on board, and outside food and alcohol aren't brought aboard.
Three hours, boarding at 5pm and back at the wharf by 8pm, timed to put you out on the water for the sunset. We'll confirm boarding details when you book.
