We've all had dreams of sailing off to sea at sunset, watching the sun soften to a beautiful palette of orange and red. What better time to do this than on your trip to the Whitsundays Islands?

The boat itself is a staple to the Whitsundays; Providence is a replica of American Blackfish, a Gloucester Schooner, some of the first boats to compete in America's Cup. As well as making an appearance in the Hollywood movie Survive the Savage Seas (1992), which was filmed in Australia.
