Dreaming of an Exotic Vacation? Try Sailing Whitsundays or Diving the Whitsundays!

Is there anything that a day in the great blue outdoors cannot cure?  How many summer mornings have you wished you could be out sailing Whitsundays instead of doing absolutely anything else? The Whitsunday Islands are the ideal location to do just that! 

These beautiful islands offer the most scenic spots to create the perfect vacation for you and your loved ones. Let your hair down, bask in the sun and breathe in the fresh sea air as you enjoy the variety of experiences we have in stall for you.

We all need an escape from routine every now and then so give yourself a much needed therapy session (nature style) amongst these gorgeous Whitsunday islands. We have daily departures, so you can jump on board a scheduled tour or ask our staff about a private charter.

The Whitsundays is a group of islands a little off the coast of Queensland and is approximately nine hundred kilometres from Brisbane. The Whitsunday islands are believed to have been named after the Whitsunday passage that was discovered by Captain Cook. These islands are not only unchanged from humans for the most part but are also surrounded by one of the seven natural wonders of the world – The Great Barrier Reef.

We are lucky enough to have two kinds of reef around The Whitsundays. We have “fringing reef” which is coral reef that grows in the shallow waters surrounding the Islands. We also have what is called the Outer Reef which is several hours away from the mainland and furthest Islands.

Whitsundays Sailing Adventures operates out of Airlie Beach which is also known as “The Gateway to the Islands”.

It is a popular destination among tourists who travel to see the wonders of The Great Barrier Reef and the North Queensland coast.

Sailing Whitsunday will be the adventure of a lifetime and provide memories that will last forever.

A racing yacht is an experience that is as unique as it is adrenalin pumping excitement. You don't want to miss a chance to experience this in the Whitsundays.

A few words from some of our happy customers

whitsunday sailing tours

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

"Thanks Steve and Michelle for a super trip. We (and our boys) loved our outrigger experience - paddling, turtles, delicious snacks - Steve was a great guide and this was a truly relaxing and lovely way to explore some of the Airlie Beach waters. Would highly recommend. Katie, Angus, Benj and Lachie"

"My Fiance and myself went sailing with Steve yesterday. Had such a great time paddling, relaxing on the trampoline with the delicious food platter, and flying along the water in the gorgeous Airlie sunshine! Would definately recommend this tour for it's affordable price and experience. Thanks Whitsunday Sailing Outrigger!!"

"We had a fantastic time out on the water with Steve today on this fantastic tour :)! It was brilliant to be so close to the water while feeling safe. Steve was very friendly and gave us so much great information about the local area and it was really affordable. I totally recommend this tour!"

whitsunday sailing tours

"James and I spent a great couple of hours paddling/sailing on the beautiful blue waters off Airlie Beach with Steve. Our first time in an Outrigger - Steve was a great host and experienced paddler. We even saw a few turtles heads pop out of the water. I highly recommend this tour, a must do in Airlie Beach."

whitsunday sailing tours

"A BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE - My girlfriend and I went for a sail this morning and it was a great little adventure. We enjoyed the paddling against the northern winds in an unusually choppy sea before relaxing on the trampoline all the way back to shore in Steve's lovely company. Value for money = can't beat it! My girlfriend thought she was Moana"
