The Vessel
One Boat, Four Very Different Nights
Cape Adieu runs a single boat on the harbour, and she turns her hand to all of it — a four-course dinner with the tablecloths out, a casual sundowner with a drink in hand, or the whole vessel booked out for a birthday or a work do. The boat, the wharf and the west-facing sunset stay the same. What changes is the evening.
Whichever you pick, you board at Dock 3, Stokes Hill Wharf, the licensed bar's open the whole way, and Grace and the crew run the night so you don't have to lift a finger. The menu, the pace and the size of the group are what set the four cruises apart — here's how they compare.

Sunset Cruise FAQs
Which cruise should I choose?
If you want the full evening, the Signature Dinner Cruise gives you four chef-prepared courses as the sun goes down. If you're after a lighter night — just drinks and the sunset — the Sundowner is the one. For your own private night on the water, look at Special Occasions or Corporate Events.
When do cruises run?
Cruises run through the Dry season, April to October, boarding at 5pm and back at the wharf by 8pm. Outside those months, get in touch about private charters.
Where do we board?
Dock 3, Stokes Hill Wharf in Darwin — central, easy to reach and right on the waterfront. We'll confirm your boarding time when you book.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Let us know when you book — gluten-free, vegetarian, allergies and the like — and the kitchen will sort an alternative for you.
Is it suitable for children?
Families are welcome on the dinner and sundowner cruises. Let us know how many in your group and the ages of any kids when you book so we can set the table right.
Can I bring my own drinks?
There's a fully licensed bar on every cruise, so no BYO alcohol. On the Sundowner you're welcome to bring a food platter to share.
Can we book the whole boat?
Yes. The Cape Adieu can be hired exclusively for up to 60 guests — a birthday, engagement, work event or any occasion. See Special Occasions and Corporate Events.
