Sail or motor your own yacht through 74 tropical islands. No licence required. Supported by Australia's multi-award winning bareboat charter company, operating since 1985.
Set your own itinerary, explore secluded anchorages, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and wake up to a different view every morning — all with the backup of our experienced local team a radio call away.
Boating licences and qualifications are not a requirement for charter hire — however your experience and boating know-how is important to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment on board.
A comprehensive half-day briefing is included with every charter. If you're low on experience, we'll suggest spending the first day with our Sail Guide. Or if you'd prefer to have someone else do the navigating, hire a Sail Guide for the full duration of your charter.
From your first enquiry to departure day, we go the extra mile to make your charter feel smooth, supported and special.
Get underway sooner and make the most of your first day — our early briefings are standard, not an upgrade.
