Operating from May to September
This authentically Australian experience by Broome Cruises is a showcase of the region’s unique character, exquisite local cuisine, pearling heritage and magical sunsets – all in one 6-hour deluxe experience.
A Uniquely Interactive Kimberley Seafood Experience
Join us on an all-inclusive afternoon and evening cruise, transported aboard our deluxe vessel where to indulge in a 7-course menu showcasing fresh Kimberley seafood prepared by a private onboard chef, while you sip on free-flowing premium beverages, served complimentary as you cruise.
As part of this experience, we have proudly partnered with Australia’s oldest cultured pearling company, Cygnet Bay Pearl Farms so you can get hands-on with wild pearl fishing. Learn about these amazing creatures that produce the finest jewels on earth, in the world's only certified sustainable pearl fishery, while you help us harvest and enjoy the meat of this exquisite marine bounty.
Once fishing is complete, we then take you close to shore for the rest of your banquet, to be mesmerised by Western Australia’s acclaimed Broome sunset from the most breathtaking vantage point there is – one of three decks overlooking the turquoise waters and sandy beaches of Cable Beach.
Broome Cruises’ Sunset, Seafood & Pearling Cruise - the only one of its kind in Australia. Catch, wine, dine, and savour the rich cultural flavours from this world-renowned location.
Leave the hassle to us.
After being picked from or close to your Broome accommodation, enjoy a refreshing welcome smoothie on board our high-quality coach as we take you to our departure location, Gantheaume Point. From there, you are whisked to the boat without even getting your feet wet, on our speedy amphibious 'Sealegs' vessel. Once aboard, our crew makes you at home with onboard drinks and Tropical Fruit Salad while you wait for accompanying guests to join the boat.
Wild Pearling Experience
Enjoy your first course, as the boat departs the mooring, just the start of a wonderful seafood feast. We travel approximately 8 kilometres offshore for our live pearling demonstration, where you will help the crew catch Cygnet Bay's Pinctada Maxima pearl oysters, learning about these animals, their lifestyle and habitat, possibly even finding a wild pearl! Enjoy the Pearl Meat course, a rare, expensive delicacy prepared by our onboard chef before journeying back to Cable Beach, to enjoy seated dining for the remaining banquet courses. It is here, at anchor, that you can witness the most beautiful sunset in the West: the descent of golden Kimberley skies creates a magical skyline you will simply never forget.
Sips
Complimentary drinks are served throughout the cruise, and your 7-course seafood banquet menu is paired with a selection of premium still and sparkling wines from Howard Park, with local Matso’s Ginger Beer, Spinifex Beer, 150 Lashes and Corona. Soft drinks are also available.
Seafood
You will dine on fresh local ingredients and seafoods, in a sumptuous 7-course banquet menu prepared on board by our private chef. The full menu is shown below - designed to lovingly showcase Kimberley ingredients, and give a taste of Broome.
Sunset
As you finish with delectable Kakadu Plum pearl dessert, soak up the magic of what will feel like your very own Broome sunset, while relaxing on the front sun lounge. Take advantage of this exclusive vantage point to capture photos and videos to your heart’s content. Here you are not only watching this incredible sunset, you are part of it. Then, the crew will take you safely back from the boat to shore, in a staggered departure, using our amphibious vessel, from where our coach will transport you back to your pickup location, after a glorious day on the water.
