What to expect
You'll board the Lady Mac at Booragul Public Wharf and settle in for a three-hour evening on the water. As you depart, you can order drinks from the licensed bar before the BBQ dinner service begins. The crew will serve your meal — prawns, steak, sausages, salads, and sides — as the boat glides past the foreshore. You'll have time to relax, eat, and watch the light fade across the water and mountains.
Toward the end of the cruise, dessert arrives along with complimentary tea or coffee. The experience winds down as you cruise back to the wharf. It's a gentle-paced evening rather than a high-energy activity; the focus is on food, views, and company.

Good to know
This cruise suits couples after an easy date night, families wanting a meal out on the water, and groups celebrating a low-key occasion. The meal is included, so no hidden food costs, though alcoholic drinks from the bar are extra. All fitness levels manage the cruise comfortably — you're seated throughout. Infants sit on an adult's lap; prams and strollers are permitted on board. Service animals are welcome. Timing matters: this is a sunset cruise, so departure time will shift with the seasons. Peak season (summer school holidays) will be busier. The licensed bar means alcohol is available but not included in the price. Restrooms are on board, which matters on a three-hour outing.
