With its views of The Great Barrier Reef and white sand beaches, the Airlie Beach area is one of the most beautiful locations in Queensland. With this much natural beauty at your disposal, decorations can be kept minimal. But where to hold your ceremony and reception or the cocktail party? From choosing a beach venue or looking for a smaller venue to enjoy with close friends and family, Sundowner Cruises can help you get there.
About Sundowner Cruises
Sundowner Cruises has created beautiful memories over the past 14 years in Airlie Beach. However, this vessel has been operating in Whitsunday for over 25 years. She was initially built on the Gold Coast at SeaWorld to be used as a floating camera platform while making a movie. Then, after being refitted and extended, she worked faring Hamilton Island and Dent Island guests. A catamaran built with purpose and a spacious open plan entertaining area that comfortably accommodates 48 passengers. The ship is open to be not just a people-moving vessel but also a full wedding venue and wedding transportation service with Sundowner Cruises.
