Protected from the oceans by the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays offer sheltered waterways for cruising or sailing.

Each of the islands in the Whitsunday archipelago has it's own special identity. Some fall to the turquoise sea as a spectacular rocky outcrop, others gradually slope away to beautiful sandy beaches while others offer sandy inlets, fringing coral reef, bays and coves. With hundreds of safe anchorages the Whitsundays is the place to “realise your dream”.

Secluded anchorages are seldom more than an hour apart where white sandy beaches await you and crystal clear waters entice you to explore the coral kingdom below. Cruise to uninhabited islands for lazy days under Queensland’s famous sunshine where your only companions might be whales, dolphins and turtles. Hail a seaplane direct from your boat for a scenic flight or take a day trip to The Great Barrier Reef.

Palm trees fringe the handful of island resorts which occupy a very small part of this aquatic national park. Each resort has its own character and charter vessels are welcome to visit at most of the resorts.

The best way to see this natural wonderland is from the deck of your own boat with a fresh breeze in your face and the sun warm on your back...
