Delicious degustation whilst cruising along the bays - a must do - My husband and I love degustation experiences and the ocean so having these combined into a seven course degustation whilst on a 4-4.5 hour cruise along the many bays out of Dunsborough was simply heaven.
The boat caters for 24 people and as you can join the slipper upstairs it never felt crowded. It was a very relaxed experience eating delicious seafood whilst coasting along the ocean.
We were welcomed on board with a cocktail - replenished several times. The first course was oysters which are not my thing so I was happy to await course two but the crew insisted in making something else for me so I enjoyed a lovely bruschetta.
Second course was kingfish - wow… the best kingfish dish I’ve ever eaten.
We also had scallops, octopus, a vegetarian fish, local barramundi and a scrumptious dessert.
Wine pairings were suggested but if you wanted to continue with one wine you preferred that was no issue. There were also soft drinks and beers.
As mentioned in a previous comment for seven courses expertly cooked in front of you plus free flowing drinks and a cruise the price is very fair.
The crew under skipper (Raz?) were so knowledgeable, relaxed and good fun. The chef who designed the menu was there himself and we could ask questions about how he was cooking certain dishes etc.
A must do as a lovely treat whilst in Dunsborough.

THE BEST BOAT TOUR!! - We were picked up in Busselton and driven to the boat ramp in Dunsborough. Received a delicious cocktail upon boarding, and a rundown of what to expect.
Our group of 4 really enjoyed the whole experience. The food was fabulous (the chef also catered to my fussy non shellfish request) and the crew kept the drinks flowing. Highly recommend enjoying the views from upstairs.
Being delivered to the door of our hotel on our return was a really nice touch.
Granted the weather was fabulous, but the crew made this a really fun day out.
Would definitely like to do again.

A degustation afternoon on the Bay. - The cruise was a pleasant surprise as we weren't really aware of it until we arrived in Dunsborough. We were initially a little wary being no office and having to book online but we're so glad we went. We did the cruise on the 24 March, it was a beautiful day and the sea wasn't too choppy! The crew were very friendly and good fun, the degustation seafood was lovely and the drinks were plentiful. Those who wanted a swim could jump off the boat and do so. A bonus was towards the end of the cruise was seeing a school of dolphins frolicking in the ocean.
A superb afternoon, strongly recommended.

What a great experience to share with a group of friends or family! - This is a very relaxed & fun dining/tour boat experience with excellent, friendly staff & service! Food courses, paired with wines from Howard Park which were very good & plentiful. 7 small (degustation style) courses of mainly seafood. All prepared fresh by staff in a very good & well organised kitchen galley. Plenty of room on upstairs deck to enjoy the sun & coastal views as well as downstairs dining set up. Would recommend this to groups of 20-24. Bus pick up/drop off included. Thank you to Peter, Tony & hard working staff for a relaxing afternoon cruising the beautiful waters & coastline Dunsborough to Busselton
