Crewed Charters are regularly scheduled departures, usually twice per week. The vessels sail out around the Whitsunday Islands  and to the Great Barrier Reef for up to 6 days and 6 nights. The vessels offer differing accommodation ranging from shared (which means you bunk in with someone else) to private (which means you have the room to yourself). Some private cabins have their own en suite and other have shared facilities which means your bathroom will be somewhere else in the vessel and you will share with other guests.

Benefits of a crewed charter is that you don't have to hire the whole vessel yourself , because you will be sharing with other travellers and adventurers. You will get to meet people from all other areas of the world.
