Private half day catered & crewed yacht charter- Airlie Beach

About this tour

Charter a 60-foot catamaran for six hours and sail the Whitsunday Islands with a skipper who knows these waters intimately. You'll have the entire vessel to yourselves, complete with crew, chef, and snorkel guide. Drop anchor at fringing reefs around the islands, explore coral gardens with SUP and kayak gear included, then head back to Airlie Beach with lunch freshly made aboard. Bring your own drinks and settle in for an afternoon that feels less like a tour and more like borrowing a mate's boat.

• Snorkel pristine fringing reefs, Whitsunday Islands
• Skipper with 30+ years local knowledge

What to expect

You'll depart at a time you've arranged with the operator, heading out into the Whitsunday passage under sail. The catamaran is spacious—plenty of room to move between the fore deck, back deck with shade, and below. Once at a reef, the skipper and guide will brief you on what you're about to see, then it's into the water with mask and fins. Expect genuine coral life, not a bleached garden. Between swims, you'll lounge on deck or try the kayak. Lunch appears fresh and substantial. The crew keeps things relaxed and unhurried.
