GIN FLIGHT CRUISE
'Spirit of the Coorong' welcomes you to our brand-new GIN FLIGHT Cruise... Aboard our alluring fully restored historic 1897 fantail wooden tiller launch M.V. Maranui.
M.V. Maranui is a immaculate wooden tiller vessel with rooftop canopy and open air sides affording a serene cruising experience. This vessel seats up to 12 guests comfortably, the quiet putt-putt of the diesel engine meanders us through the Coorong Quays lagoons & lower Murray River with ambient tunes, tasty share-platter, Gin tastings & casual botanical interpretations.
Join us for an intimate cruise exploring the waterways of the lower Murray River & Coorong Quays Marina while indulging in a flight of handpicked South Australian Gins paired with native Australian bush-food botanicals.
Immerse yourself in the flavours of three 'HEAPS GOOD SPIRITS' gins. Paired with garnishes and the effervescence of premium Fever-Tree Tonics or Soda.
