Overview

Step aboard Shaolin, the iconic Chinese junk with timeless charm, for a one-of-a-kind Sunset Sail in Port Douglas. Departing daily from Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, just moments from town, this authentic sailing experience is the perfect way to unwind and soak up the magic of Tropical North Queensland.

As you cruise along the picturesque coastline, you'll be captivated by sweeping views of the Daintree rainforest and the Coral Sea horizon, all bathed in golden hour light. Enjoy a complimentary drink and a yum-cha canapés, designed to be shared between two.

Let our experienced captain entertain you with fascinating stories and casual, informative commentary as you sail into sunset bliss. Additional drinks are available for purchase on board, and there’s time to snap stunning photos or simply sink into the moment.
