Start with the Whitsundays and expand your DREAM to include exotic destinations such as French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Thailand, Seychelles, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Bahamas and more. We are specialists in bareboat (skipper yourself) holidays where you can do Whatever you Want, When you Want.
For the adventurous holiday maker, you can sail, swim, snorkel, bushwalk, catch that big fish, climb a mountain & kayak down an inlet and for the less adventurous sail to a secluded anchorage, picnic on the beach, gaze at the scenery, read a book & eat,drink, laugh and enjoy the warm tropical breezes of the Whitsundays.

Since this time we have consistently proven to our clients that we are the leaders in our field, delivering a quality product second to none. This is one of the reasons why we have our clients return year after year.

The Whitsunday Islands are situated in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and are protected from the ocean swells by the Great Barrier Reef itself. Whilst a bareboat cannot visit the Outer Barrier Reef, there are many superb anchorages in the Whitsunday group that offer extraordinary snorkelling and diving experiences. Whitehaven Beach is a must visit on everyone's itinerary and Hamilton Island Resort offers a great mid charter stopover.
Queensland Yacht Charters are based at Abel Point Marina in the heart of Airlie Beach. Within a 3km radius we have a major supermarket, restaurants, accommodation, liquor stores and the main CBD all at your fingertips.
