About this tour

A customisable private yacht charter in the Whitsundays for up to 6–8 hours, where you book the entire vessel and set the itinerary. Snorkel coral reefs, explore island trails, beach-hop between bays, or simply relax on white sand — your skipper navigates while you decide what matters. Ideal for groups wanting flexibility without the day-tour crowds.

Highlights

  • Full vessel exclusivity — no other passengers sharing your boat
  • Snorkel gear included; access to abundant coral reefs
  • Flexible itinerary: beaches, bays, trails, or reef dives
  • Personal skipper manages navigation and safety
  • Water and refreshments provided throughout the day
  • BYO alcohol permitted; catering available for extra cost
  • Suitable for families with infants and mixed fitness levels

What to expect

You'll board your private vessel with a dedicated skipper who works with your preferences to shape the day. Morning typically involves snorkelling at a reef site with provided equipment, or a beach landing if that's your priority. Mid-day you can explore island trails, relax on sand, or move between multiple bays depending on conditions and your group's energy.

Breaks include water and light refreshments as standard (catering packages available separately). The skipper handles all navigation, safety protocols, and anchor management. The experience wraps around late afternoon, with departure timed to get everyone back to the marina within your 6–8 hour window.

Good to know

This suits groups of friends, families, or small teams wanting a day tailored to their own pace without fitting a fixed itinerary. It's strong if you want snorkelling flexibility and don't want to share boat space with strangers. Catering is not included in the base price (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea available at $30 per person extra); plan accordingly if you're a larger group with varied appetites. Infants travel free but must sit on an adult's lap; prams work on deck but not while underway. Not suited to anyone with significant heart or cardiovascular concerns. Weather can shift sailing conditions; the skipper will advise on safety and alternative plans. BYO alcohol is welcome; bring what you like.
