A crewed day out of Airlie Beach

Boarding with skipper: the Airlie Beach marinas, gateway to the archipelago. The itinerary is composed around the day's sea state: Whitehaven Beach and the Hill Inlet lookout, the Hook Island anchorages and the archipelago’s coral reefs.

What the skipper brings on these waters

The crew knows the Whitsundays, 74 islands set on the Coral Sea between the Queensland coast and the Great Barrier Reef — they pick the lunch anchorage. Check the fuel policy: billed on actual use, it can reach 20% of the total.
