This catamaran takes you out to the Low Isles. These are closer to Port Douglas than the outer reefs where most other boats go to. We already did the latter (big boat, lots of people, mechanical organization) and were a bit disappointed. Our lodging host recommended Aquarius since it only takes 12 or so people (no kids), actually sails to... More

We did the Low Isles trip on an absolutely beautiful boat, looked new, was spacious. There were only 12 of us on board and 8 of us were travelling together. Very capable and attentive staff. Snorkelling was brilliant,though we all looked a sight in our stinger suits!! Delicious lunch included. A magical day out at the reef. Would thoroughly recommend. More

Went out on a choppy day so the ride out and back was a bit bumpy but the catamaran is so luxurious that it didn't really matter. Food and service were exceptional with the crew doing a fantastic and informative job. The visibility was low due to the choppy conditions but the low tide still meant visibility was ok. As... More

Our sunset cruise exceeded all expectations; despite the 'not quite ideal' weather conditions, (a little choppy on the outbound leg due to wind). The friendly skipper and his mate; a wonderful young Scottish lady, made every effort to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. We took along a BYO chilled bottle of wine, as did most other passengers, and were thrilled... More

We sailed to Low Isles aboard Aquarius on 8th May 2012 as members of a family ranging in age from 26 to 70. Drew and his crew were attentive, friendly and extremely knowledgable. Our 70 year old lacked confidence and was taken snorkelling out over the reef by crew member Giselle and had a great time. The little ship was... More

Fancy Boat! Very professional and hilarious crew. The captain of the boat was a big story teller and funny. Was a rough arvo at sea but was still really enjoyable. The cost was only $50pp and it included one beverage (Beer, Wines, Vodka, Softdrinks, Juices) and yummy canapes. More
