Location

Join us on board a beautiful 58-foot yacht for a sunset sail in Cleveland Bay. Enjoy the magic of sailing while you sip Australian organic wines or premium local beers, nibble on our hand-selected cheese platter.

There is plenty of space to sit back and dream, with no more than 12 guests on board.

Our attentive crew will ensure you have everything you need to relax. If you're up for a chat or want some recommendations about things to do on the island, don't hesitate to ask the crew, or if you want some time out to yourselves, we'll understand and will leave you to it!

Note

  • If you are allergic to anything or have special dietary requirements - please advise at time of booking.

How It Works

Your Sip & Sail begins at Magnetic Island Marina, Nelly Bay. One of the crew will meet you on the Pepper's Blue on Blue deck and show you to Pilgrim, the beautiful 58-foot sailing yacht.

The Cruise:

After a full briefing to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe, we'll head out of the marina and pull up sails and go sailing.

Once under sail, you will enjoy wines from a selection of Tamburlaine Organic Wines, which include Sparkling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and a Rose. (Note, we don't serve red wine onboard)

Alternatively, for non-wine drinkers, there is the locally brewed beer from the Townsville Brewery or soft drinks. All drinks are unlimited and included in the price.

There is also a delicious cheese platter to enjoy with your wine - be sure to try the homemade pumpkin chutney!

The route of the cruise in Cleveland Bay will depend on the wind (strength and direction). The skipper will ensure that it is the most comfortable ride for the prevailing conditions and will also line the boat up for the perfect view of the sun setting over Magnetic Island - make sure your cameras are ready!

Once the sun has dropped below the island, we will lower the sails and motor back into Nelly Bay Harbour in time for your dinner plans.
