We did the 2 hour BBQ cruise with 3 other couples, total of 8 of us. Very comfortable sitting in the boat and easy with the bbq in the middle. Our drinks were pre ordered and all organized for when we arrived. Staff were friendly and quickly ran through all the details for steering, safety etc. We all really enjoyed the cruise. A great way to do something different and get out about and enjoy beautiful Adelaide. Would highly recommend to friends to do.

The experience was absolutely amazing! We both agreed it was the best date we've been on. A highlight was being able to drive the buoy ourselves and have to freedom to go at our own pace. Would recommend this to anyone, it's a great way to view the Adelaide city while relaxing at the same time. Also the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
