Whitsunday Sailing Adventures - Charter Yachts from Airlie Beach

The ultimate Whitsunday Holiday experience would have to be a 'bareboat charter'. Generally, a bareboat is a charter sail or power boat that comes without a skipper or crew. In other words you're the skipper, free to go where you want with your friends and family as the crew. It may sound scary, but with some guidance and state of the art equipment; most land-lubbers can safely enjoy the perfect Whitsundays. Bareboat charters are extensively equipped and include a range of luxury yachts and standard sailing yacht vessels as well as power boats.

There are 74 islands within the Whitsunday group. These are tropical islands fringed with coral reefs, white beaches and numerous safe anchorages. The outer Great Barrier Reef protects reduce ocean swells. Sailing time between anchorages is in most cases less than 2 hours. The area is a part of the Great Barrier Reef National Park, which is a protected area for marine life - hence fishing is restricted in many areas.

There are 7 resorts in the Whitsundays, most welcome visiting yachts, offering evening entertainment, dining, and the use of their facilities.

Scenic Flights to the Great Barrier Reef

What better way to discover the islands and reef than from the air?  There are a range of scenic flights which will be sure to leave you breathless.  You could sneak away for a romantic picnic on a deserted island, propose while flying over Heart Reef, be awed by the spectacular aerial view of Hill Inlet or even fly to Hayman Island for a day of luxury!  Whether it’s in a sea plane or a helicopter, or even in a bubble helicopter with the doors off - you’ll be able to take your own postcard pictures of some of the most stunning scenery in the world.

Queensland's Most Beautiful Beach

Titles like that aren’t given out easily, yet it’s immediately obvious why Whitehaven Beach considered to be so special.  The 7km of pure silica sand glistens in the sun (but the sand doesn’t get hot), and the crystal clear aqua waters are entrancing.  At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach is Hill Inlet, a stunning cove where the tide shifts the sand and water to create a beautiful fusion of colours.  Don’t miss the walk to the lookout on Whitsunday Island where you can take advantage of the best views of both Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet.

However you choose to explore Whitehaven Beach, it will be an experience that you will remember for a lifetime.

Airlie Beach and Surrounds...

Exploring Airlie Beach and it’s surrounds will surprise you! There are just as many exciting and beautiful locations on the mainland to experience as on the water.  Adventurous groups will enjoy the stunning views and at times challenging walking tracks of the Whitsunday Great Walk.  Walk the whole 28km in one day, or camp out at one of the two camping grounds along the track.  The views make it all worth it! 

For the slightly less adventurous looking to enjoy national park, head to Cedar Creek Falls, along Conway Road.  During the wet season the stunning waterfall flows freely, and the water pools at the bottom offer swimming year round. Relax at the Airlie Beach Lagoon, let the kids play in the water or on the playgrounds, while you sizzle up a bbq lunch and enjoy the ambience and view out to the islands.  A great family day, all free!

Airlie’s weekly Saturday markets offer a quaint range of local arts and crafts, fresh fruit and vegetables and much more.  Set up right on the Airlie foreshore, the mood is relaxed and friendly.

The Esplanade, Airlie’s ‘Eat Street’, provides a range of restaurants and cafes where you can sit and watch the waves lap on the beach and enjoy cool sea breezes while you sip a coffee or cocktail.  A range of delicacies is available to fulfill your breakfast, lunch and dinner needs in a relaxed atmosphere only Airlie can create.

Airlie Beach is the gateway to Queensland's magnificent Whitsunday Islands.  Airlie Beach Motor Lodge is the perfect haven to prepare for your adventure out to the islands, or refresh after fun filled days.
