Whitsunday Sailing Highlights

Sailing the calm waters of the soothing Whitsunday Islands is a spectacular experience, whether you are an experienced yachtsman or novice. Taking the helm of a 72 foot schooner, Maxi yacht or relaxing aboard a cruise or charter boat, while a crew does all the hard work, is a magical way to explore the many islands of the Whitsundays.

Why not pull up and drop anchor at one of the many resorts on Hamilton, Daydream or Brampton Island and enjoy leisure activities or have lunch by the pool. Weddings in the Whitsundays are also very popular amidst the romantic secluded surroundings of Hayman Island or on a cruise boat.

For a more relaxing afternoon, the lapping of the water against the hull will surely lull you to sleep, or you could dive or snorkel among the stunning underwater world beneath you.

The natural wildlife and sea life of the national parks and Great Barrier Reef will astound you. Colourful fish, anemones and coral provide a constant show of colour and wonder.

Whitehaven Beach is a stunning white sand beach stretching 9km in length along Whitsunday Island, accessible by boat or plane from Airlie Beach.

Boom netting, banana boat rides, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing or jet ski are some of many activities available at island stops. Reef tours or luxury cruises to the Outer Reef World pontoon offer spectacular day trips.

For the ultimate honeymoon escape, Whitsunday sailing is perfect for two. If you prefer a larger group, take a bunch of friends to crew your catamaran or cruiser.
