With so much endless blue water, the number one activity in the Whitsundays is sailing. Here Bareboat Charter refers to skippering yourself on your own private yacht or catamaran through clear waters, surrounded by abundant coral and marine life. Many companies offer bareboat charter sailing holidays, with supplies and provisions also included.
If you don't have a licence, you do get a thorough briefing and trial run prior to sailing, but it is wise if someone has past sailing experience. What better way to see Australian beaches and islands!
Choose from luxury yachts, catamarans, tall ships to racing maxis, from 2 to 12 berth vessels. Set sail into the beautiful sunset and the Whitsunday Islands are yours to explore, with many private beaches and inlets around every corner.
Moor at one of the islands like Hamilton, Hayman Island, Brampton or Daydream and make use of all day facilities and activities. Bask in the sun on deck or snorkel and swim with turtles through the safe, protected waters of Whitsunday Passage.
Whitsunday Rent a Yacht can organise romantic getaways, honeymoons, group sailing adventures or fun family holidays. Hoist the mainsail on a Benetau, Catalina or Seawind Luxury catamaran and feel the exhilaration and wind in your face. Sleep to the serene sound of ropes flapping and gentle water lulling on the side of your boat. Sunsail, Charter Yachts, Queensland Yacht Charters or Sail Whitsundays are some of the companies at Airlie Beach providing unique bareboat charters. There is even a sailing school available for those who want to continue the experience.
