Frequently Asked Questions
Food & Menu
1. I do not eat seafood are there other alternatives available on the buffet?
 

Our buffet includes a wide range of dishes suitable for non-seafood diners. Please view our menu for more information.
   
2. Are any other menu options available?
 

On our scheduled lunch or dinner cruises, we only offer our deluxe harbour buffet menu. However, if you are wishing to privately hire a boat or deck, we have a range of different menu options to suit a variety of functions. Please contact our Functions & Events Team for more information.
   
3. Do you cater for special dietary requirements? Eg. Vegetarian, Halal, Gluten Free etc?
 


We will make every effort to cater for your dietary requirements and allergies including vegetarian, halal and gluten free. However, due to our large operation, we cannot 100% guarantee that certain ingredients will not be in our food and the company explicitly accepts no liability.

For serious food allergies we want our customers to make their own decisions on selecting their meals. Our staff comments are only to assist you in making an informed decision. In exceptional circumstances, if you or one of your guests wishes to bring their own meal we are happy to accommodate them.

We have a dedicated Executive Chef that is flexible in catering to most special requirements, however, please submit any special requests at least 3 days prior to your cruise date. Please phone reservations on 02 8296 7222 for any special requests or alternatively please send us an online enquiry form.
