Destination - Whitsundays
The Whitsundays
is the jewel in the crown of Queensland. The Whitsundays has 74 islands within its group. Only a handful of the islands
are inhabited, leaving plenty of secluded sandy beaches awaiting your footprints; bushwalks in unspoilt
National Parks and pristine coral reefs just waiting to be admired.
Bareboat
chartering has long since been the best way to see the Whitsundays, allowing you to get around
at your own pace among the islands and many anchorages. Bareboat chartering means ‘You are the skipper
and your friends are the crew’, and you're all free spirits bound only by your imagination, not your
schedule.
The Whitsundays
has long been appreciated for its many safe anchorages, each within easy sailing distance of the next. Finding refuge from
prevailing winds and protection from any kind of weather is not a problem in the Whitsundays.
Anyone for a game of tennis? If you wish to jet ski/water ski, play golf, go for a horse ride along the
beach, have a café latte or enjoy fine dining in a five star restaurant, you may do many of these
activities and others provided at the island resorts throughout the Whitsundays. You're welcome to anchor
at the resorts (for a minimal fee) and go ashore to use their facilities.
The entire Whitsundays cruising area is in protected waters as it's surrounded by the outer reef providing
protection from the open seas. September is a very special time of year as whales are often seen breaching
and providing spectacular performances often close to your cruiser...what an honour to be part of nature
at play.

between 23°C and 28°C and warm to very warm summers with temperatures ranging between 28°C
