The Skipper Brave and Sure (couldn't resist--google it) - I booked this trip for myself and my 29 y.o. daughter. I expected a big ship and recorded narration (that was what we had on on Melbourne Yarra River cruise), but this was much nicer: a small boat with approx. 12 passengers and the captain, who was delightful. He had lots of information to share, but, being an actual human, was also able to interact with the passengers. Since I didn't catch his name, I'll mention that we departed the Cairns Harbor at 5:15 on Dec. 23, 2025, in hopes that he &/or the biz owners see my review. It's because of him that I'm giving a full 5 stars instead of 4. We had a lot of trouble *finding* the boat, but the captain gave us the extra few minutes we needed to get aboard. Staff at the ferry terminal gave us incorrect info, and the location wasn't marked on our voucher.
