Bareboat Investment

Our Vision

Provide an exceptional holiday experience, leaving customers with a lifetime of memories that exceed all expectations.

The Market

Originally chartering a boat attracted a more affluent client. Now, bareboat chartering provides an economical option for cruising in the Whitsundays and accommodates all levels of experience. This significant swing in the market has been achieved by a system of control, developed over many years with contributions by all industry participants.

Our target markets include international travelers and domestic Australians consisting of small business owners, families, couples and of course ardent yachties!

The cost for this type holiday has become more affordable mainly due to the fact that prices for a trip like this have not increased proportional to rising incomes. Also, with larger vessels available, it is possible to share the costs between up to 12 people.

The Company

Established in 1985, Cumberland Charter Yachts were able to cater for an ever-increasing market for yacht chartering in the Whitsundays. In 1988, Cumberland was the first to introduce catamarans to the charter boat industry. Today we boast a fleet of over 30 sailing monohulls, sailing catamarans and power catamarans.
