Our fleet includes monohulls, catamarans and motor cruisers – sure to include a vessel to suit your needs and experience. All our vessels are beautifully fitted out and have modern fixtures and equipment.If you are unsure on which type of vessel would best suit your Whitsunday adventure, give our expert team a call. We have boats that can sleep up to 10 people! If your sailing experience is limited, we can also suggest which boats would be just right for you. Some charterers choose to hire a sailing catamaran however only use it under motor for the duration of their trip.
