Australia’s pristine coastal waters promise a blissful holiday for those who seek time-out on the water. Relax on deck and discover Australia’s beautiful coastline and waterways from the decks of a range of vessels through the country. The maritime reserve of the Great Barrier Reef including the Whitsunday Islands, are among the best areas for a holiday afloat. Explore island-studded bays, tranquil and secluded inlets, and the crystal clear waters of the Tasman. Or the glorious bays, island-studded gulfs and harbours of Sydney and out to Lord Howe Island.

On a skippered charter you’ll be guided by an experienced sailor so that you’ll have not a care in the world. You can stop in a secluded bay giving you the opportunity to swim and explore or simply sit back with a glass of wine and take in the scenery. By boat you’ll find magnificent scenery not visible from the roads, as well as marine and bird life which may include penguins, seals or dolphins. Sightseeing can be combined with a range of activities like cruising the Sydney Harbour, fishing, diving, swimming with dolphins or even whale-watching.
