Celebrating Excellence: Finalist in the Whitsunday Tourism Awards 2025 12:15pm, Tue 05 Aug 2025
We’re proud to announce that we’ve been named a finalist in the Bareboating category of the 2025 Whitsunday Tourism Awards! This recognition is not only a celebration of our team’s hard work and dedication, but also a nod to the importance of the bareboating industry in showcasing the natural beauty and adventure of the Whitsundays.
Recognised as a Best of Queensland Experience
Our finalist status stems from achieving the coveted Best of Queensland Experience recognition — a program that identifies and promotes tourism operators who consistently deliver exceptional customer experiences. This award is based on stringent criteria including online reviews, customer satisfaction, and industry best practices, meaning it's not something you can simply apply for — it's earned through performance and guest feedback.
Why This Matters
The Whitsundays are one of Australia’s most iconic travel destinations, and bareboating plays a vital role in giving travellers the freedom to explore its many islands at their own pace. As one of the few regions in the world where you can skipper your own yacht without a licence, being recognised in this category highlights the uniqueness of what we offer and the trust our guests place in us to deliver unforgettable adventures.
Looking Ahead to the Awards Night
The Whitsunday Tourism Awards will take place on Saturday 18th October, 2025, and we’re thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with other outstanding tourism operators across the region. Win or lose, we’re honoured to be part of a community that is passionate about providing world-class experiences.
We want to thank all our incredible guests who’ve shared their adventures, left glowing reviews, and supported us over the years — this recognition wouldn’t be possible without you. Stay tuned as we count down to the big night in October, and continue delivering unforgettable bareboating holidays in the heart of the Whitsundays!
