Water Activities
There is a wide range of water activities you can enjoy while on your Whitsunday bareboating charter. All of our boats have a dinghy with outboard motor so you can explore the anchorages, get closer to snorkelling spots or go beach combing. For some extra fun we can also arrange a range of options that you pre-book when completing your charter booking form. These are provided by external suppliers and will already be on board your vessel at commencement of your holiday. The extras include fishing gear, beach fun packs, beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, kayaks, wave skis, stand up paddleboards and board games. See our Extras Prices for more information.
Fishing in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
What Type of Fish Can You Expect to Catch in the Whitsundays?
Bluefin and mackerel are in abundance all year round. They can usually be located by the sight of seabirds skipping over the surface of the water where the tuna are. Casting or trolling around the headlands and in the passages between the islands should also land you a few good tuna for dinner. There is excellent estuary fishing to be found in Gulnare Inlet, Hill Inlet, Nara and Macona Inlets.
Coral reef fishing can provide the likes of Coral Trout, Sweetlip, Emperor, Gropers etc. Before visiting the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, it is important you study the zoning map for the area you are visiting to be sure of the activities that you can do and where you can do them. The information for the zoning map can be found at
