Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was our first time on a sunset cruise, and it was such an amazing experience. Very organized. Great crowd of families and couples. Had booked a private picnic table. You can get your own food and non-alcoholic drinks. I saw people had got their own charcuterie boards, which was amazing. The cruise had a food truck as well serving alcohol, and another food truck serving tea, coffee, crisps, cupcakes etc. which you can purchase, at an economical price. They had portable toilets on board. There was live music by Bluez Katz Blues Band; they were quite nice. The sunset view from the cruise is so breath-taking. Overall, a very good and enjoyable experience. Please be mindful that it can get a bit chilly during the evening, so do carry a light jacket. Kudos to the staff onboard for ensuring safety of the passengers.

Really fun experience, the string band was great crack, and the staff were really nice,
It’s rained however it didn’t seem to take away from the experience, the staff was so quick to hand out rainproof ponchos so it was fine,
Definitely worth the money

What a fantastic experience! The Rambling String Band were fun & lively...they had us jiving on the deck. Lily Finnegan's horsebox bar provided a wonderful service. Staff were wonderful...magical to see the Lough & Lighthouse at dusk. I'll be back with more friends & family soon.

Lovely evening.. So well organised. The weather was fab which adds more to the atmosphere. And you can't help but notice that everyone else onboard are also really enjoying it. From the very young and not so young and the odd dog it's for everyone..

We attended the Twilight Cruise for our staff summer party and thought it was excellent! The cruise itself was beautiful, the sunset was stunning and the firework display when it got dark was such a bonus. The sailing was so smooth and the music on board had us all up dancing and singing! Derek at the bar was so helpful and accommodating, as were all the staff on board. From the guy greeting us at Greenore whilst we waited for the boat, to Aishling who took our initial booking, everyone went above and beyond!
The only suggestion is more toilets on board if possible - particularly for the ladies.

Give it a miss
Boat was 15 mins late departing and same arriving back late. We ordered a cheese board which arrived 75 mins after departure. The music was meant to be blues but certainly not blues. So loud sitting at end of the boat you could not even be heard. We booked a table for two we ended up with two strangers joining us at the table. My daughter did a cruise in July they were back 70 mins late. Wine while cheap was plonk bring your own but your not allowed

We had a fun night with a good crowd of people on the ferry which provided a fantastic atmosphere, picnic tables, food and drink available to buy (or BYO as many did), music and dancing. We had good weather which provided a beautiful sunset and clear moon. Would definitely recommend

A great time spent on the Jazz sunset cruise, a lovely atmosphere. The jazz band had a great time with the crowd. Thankfully we were prepared for a windy evening but others weren’t! Even if sunny be prepared to take warm clothes/blankets. You can also take your own picnics as well as buying from the bar & coffee stall. We used the ferry the next day to drive over to Carlingford which is a lovely little town. Also thanks to the staff on board always very helpful.
See you again ….

My husband and I had the best evening on the sunset cruise. The cruise was well organized, with a great selection of food and drink available on board. And the entertainment provided by Henry Mac made the evening even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and do it again.
