A few words from some of our happy customers

whitsunday yacht cruise

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

Dreaming of an Exotic Vacation? Try Sailing Whitsundays or Diving the Whitsundays!

Is there anything that a day in the great blue outdoors cannot cure?  How many summer mornings have you wished you could be out sailing Whitsundays instead of doing absolutely anything else? The Whitsunday Islands are the ideal location to do just that! 

These beautiful islands offer the most scenic spots to create the perfect vacation for you and your loved ones. Let your hair down, bask in the sun and breathe in the fresh sea air as you enjoy the variety of experiences we have in stall for you.

We all need an escape from routine every now and then so give yourself a much needed therapy session (nature style) amongst these gorgeous Whitsunday islands. We have daily departures, so you can jump on board a scheduled tour or ask our staff about a private charter.

The Whitsundays is a group of islands a little off the coast of Queensland and is approximately nine hundred kilometres from Brisbane. The Whitsunday islands are believed to have been named after the Whitsunday passage that was discovered by Captain Cook. These islands are not only unchanged from humans for the most part but are also surrounded by one of the seven natural wonders of the world – The Great Barrier Reef.

We are lucky enough to have two kinds of reef around The Whitsundays. We have “fringing reef” which is coral reef that grows in the shallow waters surrounding the Islands. We also have what is called the Outer Reef which is several hours away from the mainland and furthest Islands.

Whitsundays Sailing Adventures operates out of Airlie Beach which is also known as “The Gateway to the Islands”.

It is a popular destination among tourists who travel to see the wonders of The Great Barrier Reef and the North Queensland coast.

Sailing Whitsunday will be the adventure of a lifetime and provide memories that will last forever.

Whitsundays Yacht Charters

A luxury yacht charter in the Whitsundays provides an infinite range of possibilities to visitors keen to experience the very best of Australia. Whether it’s indulging in the inviting climate of the Coral Sea, or exploring the incredible range of 74 islands along the Queensland Coast, renting a yacht in the Whitsundays is sure to create memories that last a lifetime. An untouched haven in the South Pacific, the Whitsunday Islands also boast a glittering array of beaches, with the Whitehaven Beach located at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef being among the most unmissable.

Whitsundays Luxury Yacht Charter Guide Sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef and fringed by an indigo ocean, the Whitsunday Islands is in every sense a perfect yacht charter destination. Perfect for cruising as well as sailing, the waters are perfectly still, making them an ideal place to rent a luxury yacht. With an appropriately warm climate the whole year round thanks to the trade winds which protect them, the Whitsunday Islands are also home to the fringes of the Great Barrier Reef. Alive with possibilities, visitors can divide their time between exploring the iconic reef and enjoying the restaurants and bars on offer around the island of Hamilton. When cruising from one destination to another, those on board superyachts are also treated to the company of whales and their calves who typically pass through in the months between June and September.

Superyacht Charters in the Whitsundays Whitsunday Islands luxury yacht charters typically begin in North Queensland and head over to Hook Island before exploring the other islands situated along with the Ngaro Sea Trail. It's also possible to begin at Airlie Beach at the Nara Inlet and cruise over to the likes of Cateran and Bay and South Molle before returning. With so much to see and to experience, it's advised that charter guests plan to spend at least a week in the Whitsundays, with there being so much to see and do, it is not uncommon for vacations to take place over two or more weeks. Replete with dry rainforest, postcard-perfect beaches, and spacious anchorages, the variety and views on offer around the Whitsunday Islands are perfectly suited for a luxury yacht charter.

Charter Itineraries in the Whitsundays Comprised of more than seventy islands, the Whitsunday Islands are unquestionably best experienced by renting a private luxury yacht. With snorkeling opportunities to be had around Blue Pearl Bay, tranquility to enjoy on Shaw Island, and a quaint culture to absorb on Hamilton Island, the Whitsunday Islands promise to set only the most perfect backdrop for a luxury yacht charter vacation. Thanks to a large number of anchorages located around the various islands, it's possible to find a convenient place to stay should you decide to spend awhile in a certain spot. One of the more popular hangouts for adventurers is Stonehaven, whilst Langford Island is unrivalled for daytime stops.
