About this tour
Sail the Whitsunday Islands for three days aboard the maxi yacht Broomstick, with two nights sleeping onboard. You'll anchor at Whitehaven Beach, snorkel pristine coral reefs, and help work the yacht between stops. The crew handles meals—breakfast, lunch, dinner plus snacks—and keeps the vibe social and relaxed. Designed for active travellers keen on real sailing rather than floating hotels.
Highlights
- Anchor at Whitehaven Beach, Queensland's famous stretch of sand
- Snorkel healthy coral reefs with provided gear and wetsuits
- Sleep two nights in a proper bunk with clean linen
- Help crew hoist sails and navigate between islands
- Three daily meals cooked aboard plus tea, coffee, snacks
- Small group sailing—no massive cruise-ship crowds
What to expect
You'll board in the morning and spend the next three days actively sailing. Expect to pitch in when the crew asks—hauling lines, trimming sails, anchoring—nothing too technical, but you're not a passenger being waited on. Days split between sailing to new anchorages, snorkelling at reefs, and swimming off the boat. Nights are simple but comfortable: your cabin is small, bunk beds are solid, and the social hub is the deck at sunset. Crew cook decent food, cater to dietary needs, and set the tone for a lively group atmosphere. Mornings start early; evenings wind down after dinner.
Good to know
Bring your own alcohol (no glass bottles, no red wine). Transfers to the boat aren't included—public transport nearby or arrange your own. Suits all fitness levels, though you're climbing ladders and moving around a moving boat. Dietary needs catered for; just flag them at booking. Under-18s accepted case-by-case; ask when you book.
