Collaborate With Us
Located on the East Coast of Australia, the Whitsundays is home to an abundance of white shores, flourishing reefs, glassy waters and lush island forests. Essentially, an ideal playground for content creators looking for some unique, breathtaking shots! Here at Sailing Whitsundays, we work hard to align our collaborations with brands that reflect our love for the adventure and natural beauty found in the Whitsunday Islands.
So, if you’re an influencer, photographer, model, travel blogger or anything in between, with an engaged and substantial following, we want to work with you! Ditch the home office for some time the Whitsundays, where you can soak up the sun's rays and immerse yourself in tropical bliss! For some inspiration, check out some of the wicked content (and downright fun) that has been created during some of our previous Whitsunday collaborations!

Jordy created so much content during her Whitsundays adventure, and made sure we had just as much fun watching it as she did living it!

We are thrilled when Tim reached out to let us know that he'd be coming to Australia and passing through the Whitsundays! We helped him organise a thrilling sail and scuba adventure onboard Summer Jo. Tim documented the whole tour on Instagram and TikTok for his followers to see and it looks like he had a wicked time out on the reef. The boat, which recently underwent a $1 million revamp, took Tim and his fellow adventurers out to Whitehaven Beach, as well as the outer Great Barrier Reef for daily scuba dives.
