Queenstown's only dinner cruise. The Spirit of Queenstown leaves the wharf at 6.30pm and is back by 8.30pm, crossing Queenstown Bay towards the sheltered water beneath Cecil Peak while you eat.
The boat is a proper little restaurant — light-filled, glass most of the way round, tables at the windows, the mountains sliding past. There is a deck outside if you would rather watch from there between courses.
The set menu is put together by the onboard chef around southern produce: cheese and charcuterie to start, then mains built on New Zealand beef and lamb, with a vegetarian option. Central Otago wine by the glass.
Wednesday to Sunday, departing 6.30pm, $139 per person. Book at least 24 hours ahead — only a very limited number of same-day spaces are released.
