More than half a million visitors come to the Whitsundays every year. With 74 islands of beauty to be explored, there is so much to see and do. Many tourists frequent Whitsundays resorts and experience the fun of various activities, however, a better idea is to see the Whitsundays from a unique angle: from the deck of your own chartered yacht.

Stay Out on the Water

The Whitsundays are one of Australia’s–and the world’s–premier sailing destinations. Why spend all your time in one area of the islands? Why not enjoy the Whitsundays from the glorious blue waters? With your own chartered yacht, the Whitsundays are completely at your disposal. The use of your own sea vessel allows you the freedom to design your holiday in a completely unique way. Set off to find a remote and beautiful island cay–your time can be spent exploring as many of the Whitsundays islands as you choose. Mooring your boat where you’d like allows you to spend an entire day fishing for some of the many delicious varieties of fish to be found in these waters. Swim, walk along the sandy beaches—the world is your oyster when you’re experiencing the Whitsundays from a unique, personal angle.

Find the Hidden Gems

If mooring your boat for a walk into the bush is more your style, this is an excellent choice for holiday adventure. There is so much to be found within these 74 islands. See untouched Aboriginal cave paintings, stroll within the trees to find enchanting waterfalls, or climb up to island crests for incredible views of the surrounding blue waters. Avoiding the typical resort stay or the common day trips around the islands lets you have an exciting array of options for accommodation. While chartering your own luxurious yacht, you can remain onboard in the cosy, spacious cabins. A private yacht is truly a home away from home; many travellers love spending time sleeping on the water. Another wonderful choice for visitors is to anchor their vessel and seek out one of the innumerable camping spots to be found throughout the islands. Discovering an isolated, lovely camping location is one of the absolute best parts of a trip to the Whitsundays, and there are many spots like this. When you see the Whitsundays from a unique angle, you can truly make the experience one of a kind.
