Sailing with eight guests in four private cabins with ensuites, Whitsunday Blue is a relaxed and spacious 41ft catamaran suited for those looking for a fun trip with gourmet meals and scuba diving available. Whitsunday Blue departs from Abel Point Marina, Airlie Beach for a 2 day/2 night sail through the Islands visiting destinations such as Hamilton or Daydream Island and Whitehaven Beach. One of the few vessel to offer snorkelling, water kayaking and fishing.

The inherent stability of a catamaran means you can relax and unwind in comfort as your hostess and professional skipper guide you around the calm anchorages of the magnificent 74 Islands. The ultimate getaway as you meet new friends and are taken to exclusive beaches that the larger cruise ships cannot access.

Enjoy sumptuous meals prepared by your on board chef and delight in the aromas of freshly brewed local coffee. Snorkeling, fishing, diving and kayaking are all available, or simply enjoy a good book and a quiet relaxing sail. Another option is to visit well known Whitsunday Islands such as Hayman, Hamilton, Daydream or Club Med Lindeman and explore their collection of cocktails bars and pools.

Whitsunday Blue was designed to be flexible so as to take, where possible, the desires and wishes of our guests, and make the most of all the Whitsundays have to offer. No two trips are alike as we sail from one idyllic island hideaway to the next, and with no strict itinerary we endeavor to use your choices as our guide. A quiet afternoon sunset sail or snorkeling with a 2 metre giant Maori Wrasse amongst a massive school of Yellow Tailed Fusiliers.

With our shallow draft we can back right up to the beach, each hull has transom steps for easy access in and out of the water. At night watch the stars dance across the heavens on the comfortable foredeck or enjoy a good movie on the large outdoor home theatre in the aft cockpit. Take advantage of the freedom and splendour of a Whitsunday sailing holiday onboard the fully air-conditioned Whitsunday Blue.

We will endeavor to amalgamate all our guest wishes and design an individual voyage to cater as best as possible to all your wishes. It really is your choice! We would love you to join our experienced professional staff onboard our newest vessel Whitsunday Blue so we can share with you the place we call home, our little piece of paradise known as The Whitsundays. A tailored voyage around one of the world’s great playgrounds on fully serviced luxurious catamaran from a company with an exemplary reputation, what better way to spend a couple of days? So what are you waiting for? Come sailing with Whitsunday Blue!
