Spirit of Cairns Cruise Boat. Cairns calm water dinner cruise in luxury catamaran. Buffet or set menu dinner, licensed bar. Locals discount.

From the time we stepped onto the catamaran the service and all staff were excellent. A great way to spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon and would recommend this cruise to everyone. The food was excellent.

We went on the lunch cruise. Couldn’t fault it. The boat was quite spacious with plenty of room to move around. Staff very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the day and would definitely recommend to everyone.

A big thanks to the crew who made our 2021 Melbourne Cup cruise such an enjoyable day. Food was amazing and the staff were so professional and friendly. Was certainly worth the trip up from Brisbane.

It was a great night out with a wonderful variety of great quality food. The staff were awesome and brought out a little cake and sang happy birthday to my better half. We both can’t wait to do this again.

Our comment from TraTraTravel about Spirit of Cairns:

The Spirit of Cairns offers a wonderful dining experience on the water, celebrated for its breathtaking views and exceptional service. Many guests have raved about the outstanding food quality and variety available, particularly highlighting the fresh seafood options. The staff are often described as friendly and attentive, making every guest feel special, whether it's for a birthday celebration or a romantic dinner.

Positive experiences include:

  • A beautiful atmosphere with lovely city views at night.
  • A delicious buffet selection that accommodates various tastes and dietary requirements.
  • Excellent service, with staff going above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable time.

However, some guests have noted a few areas for improvement:

  • Some food items were reported as being below expectations in terms of temperature and flavor.
  • A few guests felt the dining experience could be enhanced with live entertainment or commentary about the local area.

Overall, despite some criticisms, the Spirit of Cairns remains a highly recommended choice for anyone looking to enjoy a lovely evening on the water, with many guests expressing their desire to return.

Fantastic experience: This is a must to do when in Cairns. The lights of the City look amazing. The boat is beautiful and so smooth. The staff were all very friendly and the food was amazing. So much to choose from and beautifully cooked. The desserts went a step above.

Stu Manson 3 months ago

Positive experience: So disappointed with this experience. Food was average, desert was worse. All the boat did was cruise around the inlet close to wharf. Backwards and forwards, over and over again. Would never do this again! Waste of $129 per person

Debbie Caras 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: My husband organised this beautiful dinner cruise for my 65th Birthday. It was fabulous from start to finish. Well organised & relaxed. The food was amazing, especially the sea food. The staff were attentive & friendly & even surprised me with a happy birthday sing song & a special plate with desserts & a candle in one of them. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. Debbie Caras

Fantastic experience: This was a fantastic evening. We did the sunset cruise and even though the sunset was not great, the vessel was spacious and quiet so you could enjoy the atmosphere. The food was fantastic and plenty of it. The staff were great very friendly. A very enjoyable evening. Thanks Spirit of Cairns team.

Fantastic experience: I did the tour at sunset including dinner. Nice thing with delicious food. Very lovely staff. Maybe the tour could be moved 30-60 minutes earlier. That way you can enjoy the sunset more, at least in September.

Negative experience: One of the worst dinner cruises I have experienced and I have been on a few from Darwin, Exmouth to Sydney. Boarding the boat was great with a warming welcome and a gorgeous sunset. Everything went down hill from there. Every selection of hot food I chose was cold, stone cold. Baemar not controlled. Once the sunset has gone your on a floating restaurant and not a very good one at that. We moved to the front deck for some quiet time and then had to endure the birthday speeches from a party group through the speaker on the front deck. I am usually not a whinger but this cruise put a dampener to what was a wonderful day. Sooo disappointed. Sharon

Thank you for sharing your experience, Sharon. It’s regrettable to hear that the dinner cruise did not meet your expectations after such a lovely start with the welcome and sunset. We understand that having the food at the right temperature is important, and it’s unfortunate that this was not the case during your visit.Our crew and the boat work hard to maintain a high standard for all guests, and we appreciate your feedback about the noise from the birthday speeches, as we strive to create a relaxing atmosphere. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please reach out to our team. Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.Thanks from the Spirit of Cairns Team.

Cathy Graham 4 months ago

Positive experience: For the price of the dinner cruise, I would have expected more seafood (was only given 3 prawns and 3 oysters) and bigger quantities of dessert as there was next to nothing left by the time our table could go to the buffet table. Service was good; a little slow on drink delivery. Great company of friends and family made up the difference.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were in Cairns for a holiday and our 1 year wedding anniversary, so we thought we would spoil ourselves and have a beautiful dinner on the water and just wow! The quality of the service food and drinks is worth the money we have got no complaints. There was plenty of food for everyone, even the desserts. Yes, they were small, but you could go back as much as you wanted. The atmosphere we great not crowded and for a Saturday night it was lovely. We were served by Lisa and Trinity, both outstanding and happy to have a chat and make sure we were enjoying our food and experience. We could not fault these guys at all great safety briefing as well. Thank you, Spirit of Cairns.

Fantastic experience: We were fortunate to set off in perfect weather conditions and then entire evening did not disappoint. We were there to celebrate a birthday. We were 3 couples and we all booked separately and were allocated different tables. On arrival the crew member that greeted us realised we were all together and while most passengers had already been seated, they made us up a special table upstairs so we could all be together. The smorgasbord was amazing and plenty of food for extra helpings. The crew even brought the birthday boy a special dessert and sang Happy Birthday. The entire evening was fantastic. Definitely will do it again if we get back up to Cairns.

Negative experience: My husband and I used to the Sydney harbour cruises , booked for spirit of cairns , whilst in Cairns. Little did we realise that the cruise just goes up and down for the 3 hours. I was vegetarian so limited dinner options which I expected. No veg options were many , but I think a lady at the table next to us got a bad oyster. I suppose we should’ve read it properly before booking. This review is to not find fault with anyone , but to alert others on what to expect.

Fantastic experience: We had a Sunday night dinner cruise so it was a bit quieter. The whole cruise was calm and great atmosphere. The staff were great at accommodating our requests, if you were sitting on the decks they would come by and take drink orders so you didn’t miss any of the view. Sitting on the back upper deck as the boat leaves Cairns, then sitting on the front deck as you arrive back worked great for us.

Renae Lulham 6 months ago

Negative experience: Spirit of Cairns provide a sunset dinner cruise. It’s only half right. There was dinner but no sunset. The timing needs to be adjusted across different times of the year to ensure this lives up to what is being sold. The facilities are very clean and for a buffet style menu it was ok. The staff were friendly but you need to literally grab them to get their attention and they would try to clear your plate before you had finished. Serious lack of ambience. No music, no commentary regarding the area that was passed, or anything on the sights or history of Cairns. I will say that this was underwhelming and requires a major revamp.

Fantastic experience: We are locals and were given a 2 for 1 voucher for this dinner cruise. Was excellent and would highly recommend to visitors. We would go again even if having to pay full price (Even though Spirit gives a 20% discount to locals which I won't knock back lol). Cocktail prices were surprising ... were cheaper than in the local eateries and were yummo

Sanchez labro 6 months ago

Positive experience: We were a little disappointed with the service and food on our experience. The spirit of Melbourne provides an amazing set menu and included drinks instead of the buffet menu in Cairns. The buffet had run out of food at a few stations by the time we got to serve and the food wasn't overly great. Trying to place your entrees and mains on the one plate is messy. If the entree serving was separated from the main that would make it a bit better.

Positive experience: The dinner buffet was not bad and had a lot of options, the drinks were nice and the wait staff was lovely. The cruise trip was a bit disappointing, mostly cruised up and down the coast of Cairns city, and had a couple views of the city skyline at night which were nice but we were expecting a little bit more excitement. Recommended for a very quiet dinner cruise.

S L 6 months ago

Positive experience: 3 hours sunset cruise Professionally staffed with proper safety briefings Very attentive and friendly service Food was plentiful and excellently cooked Only comment was why they grouped all the couples against each other on close-by tables around the edge of the saloon, which stifled conversation. The centre area was full of tables and we could have been more relaxed and spread out. Maybe it kept cleaning simpler, post-cruise, but it wasn't the most relaxing environment we thought

Positive experience: Good cruise around calm inshore waters. Staff service great. Summer will be better since sun will let later on in evening. We went may, by the time you set sail it’s already dark. Food was ok. They really need to put the “fresh but frozen” seafood on ice. The prawns and oysters were already set up when checking on board. On a table with no refrigeration. You eat maybe 45 mins after settling in. Prawns were not cold enough for my liking or food safe. Didn’t touch the oysters. Salads were good, hot selection again ok but , luke warm. Overall it’s a restaurant on a boat. You don’t see anything but it’s relaxing. Staff all friendly and kind. Toilets great. 3 hours is long enough.

Wendy Saathoff 9 months ago

Negative experience: Started the evening by trying to locate the boat. There was no signage and no lighting. Once we located the boat we were served by a young lady who was very rude. We were to find our own seat where we sat on pool chairs for 3 hours (Very Uncomfortable) The boat was freezing and there were fans located on the floor on full blast. Moving on to the food, very very underwhelming and ordinary. The food was cold and boring. (Lacked Flavour) The toilets had a big step in with no signage so easily could have tripped. Once the boat had stopped back at the dock there was no farewell or thanks for coming. We were simply rushed off. Again there was no signage on the pier where you exit and the gates where shut. We tried opening doors and because there was no signage at the exit one of us fell and tripped over the step of the gate. Overall this experience was not worth the money and we will not be returning in the future nor recommend.

Mark Mundy 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Booked dinner cruise for my mother and I before she returned to NZ. It was a rainy overcast evening but that in no way impacted our experience. The boat was very comfortable with ample viewing deck to take in the lights of the city. Staff were attentive and friendly and the buffet had a good variety to suit all tastes. Cold drink on arrival and good bar selection. We were fortunate to be seated next to a lovely couple from the UK who had just finished a 5 week trip of New Zealand, so great banter and conversation. It was a quiet night (Monday) so recommended always booking direct as we got a generous discount.

Fantastic experience: Snorkelling at the great Barrier reef was amazing. Can't speak highly enough of the the crew. Most amazing set of people, looking after us on the boat and off it. Guided tours of the reef was the highlight, the guide we had was very knowledgeable and awesome. The boat ride takes a good 2+ hours one way, so if you get sea sick, it's best to take medication or pick a different service that takes you to nearby reef. We went to the Hastings reef and it was beautiful.

Fantastic experience: What a great dining experience. Me & my wife loved all the food. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to keep us happy. They had run out of strawberries and in a flash one of the staff members ran downstairs to grab another bowl for my wife. After dinner we relaxed out on deck with the beautiful backdrop of the lights of Cairns and the calming sound of the ocean water. I would definitely recommend this dinner cruise. Awesome.

Melanie BW 10 months ago

Negative experience: Wouldnt say money well spent. ### 5 stars to the staff ### We walked on the ship, greated by lovely people with a smile and a nice cold great northern or a rose wine. - not told were to go, we all were squished on the balcony. Until we thought we will find some sort of entry to get inside the boat and sit down. We sat down at our table. My 1x lemon lime and bitters was $15.50 - I did mention the price was super steep the table we were sitting next to had also commented about the prices on the drinks as well as paying for a ticket for the dinner - the set up of the dinner cruise was very nice, it is a very spacious boat downstairs in the seating dinning area, the customer service was great, the food was average, noodle stir fry, potato bake, normal take away cheap meals. Nothing fancy until you get to the 7 x prawns,a small barramundi serving and 3x oysters - they were the only food that was delicious for myself. My partner seemed to feel the same. Desert wasn't exact what we had expected neither. We hardly touched any of the servings as we tried them, though they were not great. Wouldn't say it's money well spent. 72 each and from 15.50 a drink $176.00. We stopped at 1 drink each... Wouldn't be something I'd recommend being a local.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing night out on the Spirit of Cairns dinner cruise! We received a complimentary drink on arrival and the sun setting behind Cairns City was picture perfect! Dinner was an all you can eat 3 course buffet of delicious salads charcuterie boards, oven bakes, seafood and dessert bar. I recommend taking a light cardigan or pullover as it can get cool out on the water and inside the a/c cabin. Plenty of amazing options for Vegetarians and they can cater to some special dietary requirements if notified ahead of time. The Mango Mousse was heaven!

Louise MacDonald 11 months ago

Negative experience: Overpriced for the quality of food. The skipper was creepy and the staff were too busy talking to each other to give a good service to the tables. The boat (esp considering where we were) just did laps inside the harbour. The food was nearly all gone by the time it was our turn and none of it was topped up. We had a lovely night as it was Valentine’s Day but for $300 it was an absolute rip off.

Positive experience: Paid $119 each for seafood buffet dinner. However, there is a very limited seafood supplied. It could not be called seafood buffet. We only have had only 2 oysters and few prawns for 2 people. Requested few more oysters but they did not bring out. Very disappointed

Hello Suet,We specifically do not advertise our buffet to be a seafood buffet for this exact reason.

Mura Consultancy Services 1 year ago

Negative experience: We had our 2023 Christmas lunch on the Spirit of Cairns and were very disappointed. The air conditioning needs to be fixed as it clearly wasn't working. It made the experience very uncomfortable as we were sweating and hot. I lost my appetite due to this. We paid $500 as a couple for Christmas lunch on the boat and the food was also very disappointing. The 'rainbow salad' was raw shredded red cabbage with strips of carrot and green rocket that was drying. The pork was very tough and no crackle on it! As locals, we wouldn't recommend spending the money for the lack lustre experience unfortunately.

Wayne Opie 1 year ago

Negative experience: We had been looking forward as a group of 4 to this day for some time especially what we had all endured this past week with the cyclone and extensive flooding and also given the amount we paid, to say we were somewhat disappointed would be an understatement. Firstly I must congratulate the wait staff who were friendly albeit not local but friendly. When we entered the boat it was very underwhelming in light of it being marketed and charged accordingly as a Christmas luncheon. We arrived early as most did to find the air conditioning not operating properly or basically not operating at all in fact we were told once the boat the moves on the aircon would start to circulate ?? It was some 35 minutes whilst being seated in an almost unbearable conditions that the boat moved on only to have the aircon not circulating at all. Every passenger on board were in a lather of sweat and all looked distressed. With fixed windows and no opening doors to allow any ventilation the inside temperature was unbearable and on our table alone we drank some 5 bottles of water. There was no indication of any Christmas feel on the boat aside from a sprig of rosemary and piece of a very dried orange slice on the table , the ambience was nil, music was at a low level and honestly it felt like we were in bad movie of the eighties. As for the meal and choices that was to compliment the disgusting humid room temperature’s. I felt it was if the kitchen staff had gone to Woolies to cater and with the wait staff rationing out the oysters and prawns added to the humility. No narration by the Captain as to where we were going or what we may expect to see. As we are locals we know the area quite but the many on the boat weren’t and we’re surprised how far we didn’t travel and not see anything of interest. The boat looked tired and if this was a tourist first experience to Cairns then I could easily understand why they wouldn’t want to return let alone recommend this outing. We made quite a few new friends as a result of this unfortunate experience, all in agreeance that this was an incredibly underwhelming Christmas lunch charter where it lacked value for money, and the faulty air conditioning was bordering on a serious health risk and concern. Cairns is seen as a premier tourist destination to Far North Queensland and this experience was well below standards accepted anywhere and what we and everyone else encountered is just not acceptable.

Hayley Metcalfe 1 year ago

Negative experience: Christmas lunch cruise 2023 was $250 pp. food was fine. Staff were lovely but the biggest problem was the promise of an air conditioned cabin which was not delivered. No ventilation and sealed windows in a cabin that had already heated up on a warm December day, made the environment in the cabin terribly uncomfortable. Nicely dressed guests were saturated with sweat. Not good enough for the price that we paid. Would not recommend the lunch cruise.

Great ambiance, delicious food with a decent spread of veg and non veg dishes. The oyster you see in the photo was one of the freshest I have tried, must try if you are a fan. They have a good selection of wine, beer, cocktails and more. All in all they provide a different unique kind of dining experience with great service and care.

Fantastic experience: Really loved the sirit of Cairns. The food is typical Buffet but very tasty and the experience on the boat is fantastic. The scenary of Cairns is just so beautiful and on the evening we went the weather was simply perfect. Plus the cost is really good value when you consider how much you pay for a regular restaurant for a 1 hour experience. We were on the boat from 6pm to 9pm and loved every minute. Plus all the people on the boat are in holiday/party mode so we had some really lovely conversations with the turists on the boat. I'd highly recommend the Spirit of Cairns

Fantastic experience: The experience was fantastic, they take you with a catamaran to a reef and then there are activities that are very good. First, they feed the fish, then there are scuba diving sessions with tanks, and the instructors are very kind. Then, the instructor Alba treated us very well and was concerned the whole trip about how my partner was doing since he got seasick on the boat. She then showed me all the types of fish that inhabit the area, and it was really great. Afterwards, you can go snorkeling, and they also have a glass-bottom boat. It was a fantastic day despite the fact that it rained a little at first, but then it stopped. 5 stars for the company.
