Sailing the Whitsunday Islands
Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia, the Whitsunday region is a sailor's paradise with 74 islands offering endless shelter and snug overnight anchorages. No two trips are alike as we sail from one idyllic island hideaway to the next.
The Whitsunday Islands are truly a remarkable natural wonder with excellent waterways, fringing coral reefs, and an abundance of marine animals and bird life. All this with the world famous backdrop of crystal blue waters, deep green foliage on the islands, and spectacular crimson sunsets.
