A Glimpse at Your Private Sunset Charter for Two
What to Expect
Your Private Sunset Charter begins at the marina in Nelly Bay, Magnetic Island. One of our friendly crew will meet you on the Peppers Blue on Blue deck and show you to Pilgrim — our beautiful 58-foot sailing yacht.
Once you are settled on board, we’ll run through a short safety briefing before we cast off. Then it’s sails up and engines off as we head out into Cleveland Bay. Depending on the breeze, your skipper (Paul or Clayton) will choose the smoothest and most scenic route for the conditions, always lining up the boat for the best views of the sun setting over Magnetic Island.
After the sun has dipped behind the horizon, we’ll drop the sails and cruise back into Nelly Bay just in time for dinner plans.
Wine, Cheese & Local Flavours
As we sail, you’ll enjoy unlimited Champagne or a selection of Tamburlaine Organic Wines — Sparkling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Rosé and Moscato (please note, we don’t serve red wine).
We’ve also got local beers from the Townsville Brewery and Maggie Island Brewery, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic wine or non-alcoholic gin cockatils.
Alongside your drinks, we serve a delicious grazing platter of local cheeses, fresh seasonal fruit, and accompaniments including our delicious homemade pumpkin chutney — it’s a guest favourite.
