Casual feel with very professional service and a locally driven cult following. In a beautiful old Queenslander building - packed for lunch and dinner. You will see many locals here and reputation is well earned. Yabbie pasta is my fav!

Sunset cruises are BYO and gorgeous! They also do Low Isles & Reef trips - lovely crew who always look after us. If you don't have 'sea legs' go on a 5-10 knot night Sunset Cruise and you will be fine

Great for those with little kids or grown ups who want a smooth water tour, no need to worry about sea sickness. Very gentle paddle boat. Spot croc's along the esturary and other wildlife. Kids get to steer the paddle boat also.
