- 587wendyz0 contributionsLUNCH CRUISE - MooloolabahThe day we joined the seafood lunch cruise the weather was fantastic. The bar was open for cold beverages. The captain and tour narrator was entertaining. His wife was bar person and another crew person was photographer and general assistant. All three pleasant to be on the short canal cruise. Lunch orders were taken from a menu and forwarded to a wharf seafood market during the tour. Collected at a wharf by pulling up alongside the market and issued to guests. No problems. There were additional seafood platters available for additional monies. The share platters looked nice. I chose crumbed calamari and my Husband the fresh cooked prawns. My meal was adequate for lunch however my Husband's meal left him a bit hungry as he only received about 7 prawns. We were expecting more prawns as the Captain had announced that usually there were X amount. I can't remember the exact number said at the moment, but significantly higher number than received on that day. That said it was still pleasant to participate in.Written 5 January 2025

Great relaxing sunset cruise. Nice commentary from Shorty on the houses of the rich and famous. Recommend 2 people share the seafood platter for one and a small or medium chips. Beautiful fresh seafood.
Assorted drinks available for purchase also on the boat.

What a wonderful tour around the canals and Harbour! Shorty and his wife Sandy were simply fantastic - making everyone feel so welcomed. Not only was the food and drink top notch, Shorty's commentary about all the houses and boats really helped us feel right at home in Mooloolaba. This cruise is a must for any visitors and locals!!

Was a great date experience the staff were very lovely. Lots of fun facts about the area as well. The food was incredible! Even got to see a couple dolphins playing in the waves. Was a little cloudy but on a clearer day I bet the sunset would be breathtaking but still enjoyable regardless.

This cruise surpassed my expectations. The cruise itself was as expected but made into a social but informative event by a hard working and pleasant crew. Jarrod was informative, funny (mostly) but above all an expert captain of the boat and his actions put our boat and its passenger’s welfare first. My deduction of 1 star is capricious as the multi talented deckhand come bartender only had outdated tomato juice. If I could only deduct half a star I would. The boat was clean and shipshape, the equipment quite serviceable. Excellent value as the food and drink prices were moderate.

This is the 3rd trip we have taken and every time it’s better, and have been taken on different avenues of the inlets. We were lucky and seen a pod of dolphins chasing fish, Captain Shorty allowed us to watch them over our allocated time so we all could catch the perfect photos.
Shorty and his lovely wife Sandy are beautiful and entertaining which make the journey very enjoyable. Highly recommend this for couples or families to take some time and enjoy our beautiful waterways while enjoying a few drinks.

What a fabulous experience we had. The crew were helpful and friendly and the captain's commentary was informative and interesting. Seafood meal was excellent. By far the highlight of the cruise was when we reached the mouth of the river and saw a pod of whales breaching, with Mount Coolum as a backdrop. It continued for some time and was truly breathtaking, and completely unexpected on a sunset river cruise! Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great evening.

Captain Jarrod and First Mate Kikki were just the best team ever! They were so very entertaining and Kikki's talent at getting everyone's drinks out quickly was phenomenal. Jarrod's knowledge of the area and great stories were so very funny and interesting and they certainly made the cruise extra special for all of us. Would thoroughly recommend it!!

We went on cruise with a group of friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. Skipper very knowledgeable and informed of Aboriginal meaning of the area. Ordered food from very fresh food place and enjoyed cocktails listening to music and watching a sunset on a beautiful stretch of the coast . Lovely evening.

The food is fresh, well priced and serving sizes will not disappoint.
My family and I can not wait to book our next tour.
Well done Brendon and Kai from Sunset Cruise Mooloolaba.
