Overview

Sail the Whitsundays in a 62-ft gaff rigged schooner - one of the only tallships to sail regularly to Whitehaven Beach. Help out with the sails or chill on deck as the sails fill in the breeze. Head for the Whitsundays' iconic beach - Whitehaven. Disembark at Tongue Bay for a 10-minute walk to the Hill Inlet lookout. Capture some pics of the world's most photographed beach before heading down to experience the soft, white sand. Spend an hour and a half on the beach before heading back for lunch on board as you sail to a beautiful snorkelling spot where the water is teaming with fish and the coral is dazzling. Then it's homeward bound while snacking on a fruit platter and the sails, winds permitting, carry you back to Coral Sea Marina North.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT AT CORAL MARINA SEA MARINA SOUTH WHICH IS FIVE MINUTES WALK FROM US. Also you will need to park there as it offers longterm parking. Coral Sea Marina North does not offer longterm parking. If you are staying at Coral Sea Marina Resort we are only a five minute walk down the boardwalk.
  • CHECKIN IS AT 7 AM. THE BOAT DEPARTS AT 7.30 AM.
  • We reserve the right to change the route or destination if necessary e.g. weather conditions
  • Our minimum numbers are fifteen people in order to sail. You will be offered an opportunity to transfer to another day or can ask for a full refund.

  • All departures and itineraries are subject to weather and maybe changed or cancelled at the discretion of the Master.
  • Please note we operate sailing vessels. We do endeavour to use our sails but that depends upon winds and weather conditions. Please also note that it takes 3 hours to reach Whitehaven Beach which is some distance from Airlie Beach. The journey is part of the day. Also, as we have sailing vessels, please also note you may get wet from waves, depending on the conditions. We are inside the Great Barrier Reef which means we are more sheltered than in the open ocean but if you have not experienced a sailing vessel, it is quite different for e.g. from a ferry. If you have any questions at all about this, please contact us.
  • Prior to boarding should you be suffering from COVID symptoms (or are in close contact with someone who is) please inform us immediately.
