Our Yacht Hire Services
Our Whitsundays yacht charter services are designed to give you the perfect time on the water. Whether you want to experience the freedom to explore while living aboard one of our immaculate Whitsundays yachts, develop your sailing skills, or even invest in the Whitsundays boat hire industry, our local team will ensure your needs are met and your adventure is incredible.
If you have limited sailing experience but are still dreaming of experiencing sailing in the Whitsundays, we have a guided Whitsundays yacht charter service. This is where an experienced Sail Guide accompanies you on your vessel for a nominated period of time to help you find your sea legs.
For those who would rather enjoy the beautiful scenery without having to worry about running the boat, our Skippered Yacht Charter option means an experienced Skipper will handle the boat for you so you can focus on relaxing.
At Whitsunday Rent a Yacht, we provide access to a high-quality fleet, allowing you to find a yacht at the perfect size and price for your needs.
Rent a Yacht Shute Harbour
Located only 10 minutes from Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour is the closest mainland port to the Whitsunday Islands. Beginning you Whitsundays yacht hire journey from Shute Harbour means you have several overnight anchorages within an hour of leaving our private Rent a Yacht Shute Harbour jetty.
Sailing Whitsundays
WHEN TO SAIL
The Whitsundays are a sub-tropical climate which means the conditions are suited to sailing all year round. Each season provides its own pros and cons, however, so we advise researching first to decide which season aligns best with your holiday plans.
WHERE TO EXPLORE
As there is a set charter limit around the islands for bareboat visitors, it is important to check where you are allowed to sail before organising your journey. Our interactive map is designed to show our charter limits, as well as popular anchorages and attractions.
ITINERARIES
At Whitsunday Rent a Yacht, we are experts in the local area and assist you in planning the perfect Whitsunday holiday. We have itinerary suggestions available to suit a range of durations, from three to ten nights. Our itineraries showcase some of the best sites and attractions around the islands.
What Our Customers Have to Say About Our Sailing Whitsundays Service
How Self-Sail Whitsundays Boat Hire Works
When you organise a self-sail Whitsundays yacht charter with us, your hire does not include a professional crew. Instead, you and your family or friends are provided with a fully equipped yacht or catamaran which you will operate yourselves. This allows you to decide the itinerary and the pace of your holiday, meaning you get to pick where you anchor each night and the activities you do.
Whether you want a holiday focused on sailing and snorkelling adventures, or you want a relaxing escape where you hop from resort to resort, our bareboat charters are the perfect choice. No qualifications are required to hire our yachts, and we provide a comprehensive briefing on how to safely operate the vessel.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Yacht in the Whitsundays?
The price of our Whitsundays boat hire service depends on the time of the year, the type of boat you hire, and the duration of your trip. Our handy online booking system is designed to provide you with boat options and prices for your desired holiday dates.
