History She won her division in the three month race around Australia, and proved herself very seaworthy in gales off south west Tasmania. This was a two handed race and so she is comfortably set up for short handed cruising and racing, as well as being comfortable to live on. Whitsunday Passage boasts three double cabins, perfect for three couples. The largest of the private cabins is the 'V' berth at the bow. The other two doubles are on either side of the yacht at the stern. *Please note double cabins have curtains for privacy. For those who don't want to get quite so cosy, there are also four single berths in the main saloon ensure that whatever your accommodation requirements, everyone gets their own space. Whether your ideal vision of a vacation is lounging on the sun drenched, sandy, white beaches or snorkeling in the turquoise waters with the marine life and vibrant coral formations, or maybe a little of both, you can definitely experience it all aboard the Whitsunday Passage while sailing the exquisite Whitsunday Islands!

Whitsunday
Passage is a 40 foot cruiser that was built in 1988 specifically for
competing in Australia's Bicentennial celebration. Built in Victoria,
Whitsunday Passage was outfitted right in Airlie Beach by Leon and Judy
O'Donoghue who helped set up the very first charter boat company in the
Whitsundays. This comfortable vessel has been offering exciting
adventures in the Whitsundays ever since. She is a modified Adams 40, a racer/cruiser.
After this long race she was "retired" back to Airlie Beach where the present owner purchased her as a perfect cruising boat. Some modifications were made, mostly to increase comfort, but all the "extras" not found on a normal bareboat (radar, boom brake etc) were retained or upgraded. She is now in skippered charter and is particularly suited as a training boat for anyone considering cruising or racing.
