DESCRIPTION
Broome Sunset, Seafood & Pearling CruiseA unique, all-in-one tour showcasing the best of Broome
Join us for a fully-inclusive afternoon and evening cruise on board our deluxe 69-ft triple-deck pleasure boat in Broome.
You’ll be treated to an exquisite 7-course menu of WA seafood and fresh local ingredients, prepared by a private chef on deck. Take in 360-degree views as you sip on premium beverages, served all-inclusive throughout the cruise.
We have proudly partnered with the oldest Australian owned and operated pearl farm, Cygnet Bay, to present Broome’s only pearl farm cruise. We give you a firsthand experience of seeing a live onboard pearl harvest. Cygnet Bay is part of the world’s only sustainable wild pearl fishery, growing the purest and rarest pearls on earth. Carefully cultured over many years, Cygnet Bay’s world-class pearls are over a thousand times rarer than diamonds!
Our chef then prepares a delicacy of rare pearl meat for your indulgence. This marine bounty has a fresh and sweet taste, with a lovely texture.
Your seafood feast continues as we cruise and anchor close to Cable Beach for seated dining. Be mesmerised by Broome’s famous golden sunset from this breathtaking vantage point.
The next day, visit Cygnet Bay’s headquarters in Broome’s central Chinatown to witness an exclusive grading of the harvested pearl by professional jewellers. See ceremonial Aboriginal ‘Riji’ carved pearl shell, or try on an old-style diver’s helmet!
Broome Cruises’ Sunset, Seafood & Pearling Cruise is a complete ‘best of Broome’ tour package ~ a breathtaking journey of the senses that is the only one of its kind in Australia.

There may be the need to do several rotations with the tender prior to our cruise being fully loaded/disembarked. Refreshments are provided throughout this time and this is a chance for you to relax on board the boat and get to know our crew.
CRUISE DEPARTURE LOCATION
Gantheaume Beach, Gantheaume Point Rd, Broome WA 6725.
Please note: On occasion (most relevant to September), this cruise may move around to Roebuck Bay in line with weather conditions, which may mean a different departure point (Roebuck Bay Boat Ramp). You will be advised ahead of time if the departure location changes.
ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
This tour requires all guests (under supervision from crew) to step from the beach or very shallow water onto a tender (about 30cm), and then from the tender onto the main boat, and so you must be mobile enough to do this.
