A typical itinerary

Here is what a voyage can look like, and a flavour of the places and activities you might enjoy along the way.

The itinerary is never fixed. Our skipper plans the route and each day’s activities around the weather, tides and winds, to give guests the best possible experience: a range of activities, while ensuring safety and comfort for all. That means the order of stops, the anchorages and the activities can change from trip to trip, and even from hour to hour. We cannot confirm the exact itinerary in advance, but whatever the conditions, you will see the best of the Whitsundays that the day allows.

Day 1: Setting out

You step aboard at Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach and meet your crew. In the first afternoon you sail out towards the Whitsunday Passage to find a safe anchorage for the night. Dinner is eaten together, followed by stargazing from the deck.

Day 2: Whitehaven Beach and the reef

Conditions permitting, the day begins at Tongue Bay. You can join a guided bush walk to the Hill Inlet Lookout, then explore the northern end of Whitehaven Beach, go beachcombing, climb the Whitehaven Tree or look for stingrays in the shallows.

Back on board there is a fresh lunch, then a leisurely sail to a sheltered bay for swimming and snorkelling. Pull on a stinger suit and drift over tropical fish and coral, or have a go at stand-up paddleboarding from the ship. In the evening you have dinner with the people you have met and watch the sun go down.

Day 3: Your pick of the best bits

On the final day you might repeat your favourite activities, explore another island, or join the crew and help sail the ship before returning to Airlie Beach.

Slow pace, good food and new friends are the point of the trip.
