SAILING ADVENTURES

Luxury Cruises - Banjo Paterson is a luxuriously appointed 18 metre yacht that runs sailing cruises from Hamilton Island, specialising in entertaining visitors from all over the world in true Aussie style.

The full-day day cruise includes a 90-minute sail to Whitehaven Beach and the secluded Chalkies Beach (adjacent to Whitehaven Beach) where guests enjoy a BBQ lunch after snorkelling in the crystal waters or soaking up the sun.

Banjo Paterson also runs twilight cruises most evenings for guests to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of the sun melting over the Whitsundays.

Sailing on the Whitsundays - Sunsail Charters operate a Maritime Academy which teaches the basics of sailing in a one-day introductory course or more comprehensive qualifications over a longer time period. Courses include Introduction to Sailing, Competent Crew, Inshore Skipper, Offshore Skipper, Navigation, Instructor Training, Radio Operators, Speed Boat Licence, Shipboard Safety and First Aid.

Sunsail also has a range of yachts and catamarans for charter with overnight or weekly rates.

If you wanted to combine a sailing adventure with your Hamilton Island holiday, The Moorings have a great range of 34-50ft yachts. Skipper, host/hostess and cook services are also available so you won’t have to lift a finger.
