About this tour
Sail the Whitsunday Islands aboard Lady Enid, a classic Australian yacht reserved for adults, over 9–11 hours. You'll steer if you wish or simply soak in the scenery as the crew navigates to Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet. Swim in clear waters at Betty's Beach, snorkel the reefs, and feast on gourmet meals throughout the day—morning tea, lunch, afternoon refreshments—finishing with sparkling wine and antipasto as you return to port at sunset. With a maximum of 24 guests and four crew, service feels personal rather than perfunctory.

What to expect
You'll board at Coral Sea Marina at 7:40am for an 8:00am sharp departure. The day unfolds under sail with stops for swimming at Betty's Beach and reef snorkelling with supplied gear. A walk to Hill Inlet viewpoint involves climbing a small ladder into the dinghy, then an uphill trek across sand, dirt, stone and steps—moderate mobility required. Meals are staggered: morning tea, lunch, then afternoon tea before the sunset return journey. The crew treats you as a guest; there's a toilet on board and seasonal fruit available. Bring your correct contact details for emergencies.
