Sailing Holiday Whitsundays

Fancy a relaxing sailing holiday exploring the Whitsundays?

The Whitsundays lie on the Queensland coast on Australia's eastern seaboard between latitude 20 and 21 south in a warm tropical climate, ideal for a Whitsundays bareboat charter.

With 74 islands in the chain, only six of which are inhabited, the Whitsundays offers everything from the get-away-from-it-all idyllic and secluded anchorage to the nightlife and restaurants of an international resort.

The weather in the Whitsundays is often inconsistent and generalisations are sometimes meaningless. Having said this, the strongest winds tend to be March to May. The driest months August and September and the wet season is generally January to March.

With your Whitsundays sailing holiday costing up to $1000 per day, you would expect a high level of service to back up a quality vessel in excellent order with a basic inventory of safety and galley equipment.
