Sail from Airlie Beach on the adults-only Lady Enid, with an Aperol Spritz, antipasto, sunset views, and glowing night lights.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise on the Lady Enid. We were first greeted with an Aperol spritz, then a lovely little antipasti platter of prawns, olives, sun-dried tomatoes etc (I have a dairy and egg intolerance and they gave me hummus and rice crackers instead of cheese which was lovely!). The crew were very friendly and made the experience really enjoyable for us! We were even able to have photos taken right at the front of the ship (Titanic style) which you can't do very often! Thank you, I would highly recommend for a classy evening on the water.”
