Details
Sail the tropical Whitsunday islands on a premium small-group sailing catamaran with just 8 guests. This adults-only getaway is designed for couples and friends who want space, comfort, and a relaxed, boutique experience rather than a party boat.
Guests stay in air-conditioned queen cabins, each with its own private ensuite, while a professional skipper and host take care of the sailing, the cooking, and the details. The flexible itinerary typically includes Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet lookout and sheltered coral bays for snorkelling and paddleboarding, with plenty of time to simply unwind on deck and soak up the views.
Freshly prepared meals are served onboard, there’s ample time for sunsets and stargazing at anchor, and the small group size means a more personal, unhurried way to experience the Whitsundays.
Itinerary
Day 1 : Airlie Beach to Hook Island, Sail & Sunset
Meet your crew at Coral Sea Marina, South End, Meeting Point C, 30 minutes before departure. At 3:00 pm, set sail across the Whitsunday Passage towards Hook Island. Settle into your air-conditioned cabin, then enjoy a sunset cheese and fruit platter on deck as the islands glow in the evening light. Dinner is served onboard, followed by stargazing and a peaceful first night at anchor in a sheltered bay.

Day 2 : Day 2 | Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet & Island Exploration
Wake to a tropical breakfast and fresh coffee before sailing to Whitsunday Island. Walk to the famous Hill Inlet lookout for sweeping views over the swirling white sands below, then spend time exploring the iconic Whitehaven Beach. After lunch onboard, relax on the beach, take a paddleboard for a spin, or enjoy a short island walk such as the Solway Circuit. In the afternoon, sail to a new anchorage where you can snorkel vibrant coral reefs before sunset drinks and another relaxed evening onboard.

Day 3 : Snorkelling Bays & Hidden Whitsunday Coves
Today is all about discovering the quieter side of the Whitsundays. After breakfast, sail to secluded bays around Hook, Hayman, or Border Island where colourful coral gardens and tropical fish await. Enjoy time snorkelling, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on deck as the yacht glides between islands. With the extra day, your skipper can explore more off-the-beaten-path locations and choose the best anchorages based on conditions. As the sun sets, enjoy dinner onboard and a final peaceful night anchored beneath the stars.

Take in the last island views as you cruise toward Airlie Beach, returning to Coral Sea Marina around 12:00 pm. The itinerary remains flexible and may vary depending on weather, tides, and your skipper’s local knowledge.
