Sailing dreams come true
Gliding between the 74 islands with the wind in the sails was unreal. Turtles on the snorkel, dolphins off the bow. Absolutely unforgettable.

Best two days of the trip
The catamaran was comfy, the food was great and the crew made it so much fun. Whitehaven Beach genuinely looks Photoshopped in real life.

Perfect Whitsundays trip
Great crew, great food and the most beautiful islands. We snorkelled with turtles, sailed at sunset and slept under the stars. Book it!

Whitehaven Beach is heaven
Sailing the Whitsundays was the best part of my whole trip. Whitehaven's white sand is unreal and snorkelling straight off the boat was incredible.

Whitehaven took my breath away
The lookout over Hill Inlet is the best view in Australia. Add in snorkelling, good food and a fun crew and it was a perfect couple of days.

Whitsundays did not disappoint
From Hill Inlet lookout to the coral gardens, every stop was jaw-dropping. Skipper and hostess were absolute legends. Highly recommend.

Below is a sample itinerary:
Meet your crew at the PORT OF AIRLIE at 8:00 for a head count, to depart the marina at 8:30am. Feeling energized? Help hoist the sails! Otherwise, sit back and relax as you float across the Whitsunday Passage to Whitsunday Island, finding anchorage at Tongue Bay. Take a guided bush walk to the Hill Inlet Lookout to get that awesome photo of the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. After taking in those picture-postcard views get amongst it and submerse your toes in the unique silica sand. Climb the drift wood tree, say hello to the local marine critters or try beachcombing for shells.
In the afternoon you’ll sail north to another island where you’ll anchor just before sunset. Enjoy a drink and pre-dinner snacks and be mesmerised by the golden hour as the sun sets over the Whitsundays. After dinner, grab a drink and get stuck into a conversation with new mates.
Early rise for breakfast, then kit up with snorkelling gear, ready to jump in over the fringing coral reefs. Stunning tropical fish and other marine life, a turtle if you’re lucky, will welcome you into their home as they swim, dart and go about their life. Time for morning tea before heading to another location for a swim, snorkel or a beach stop.
After lunch, it is time to set the sails once again and make way across the Whitsunday Passage. Arrive back into Airlie Beach at 4pm. (Perfect time to get to your accommodation, refresh and meet your new friends out for an after party!)
Below is a sample menu:
All meals and snacks are included for the duration of your trip. Our crew freshly prepares each meal for you to enjoy using locally sourced, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Usually served buffet style; you can choose to eat anywhere on board. Meals are a great communal time to get to know your fellow travellers.
