Depart Airlie Beach or Hamilton Island
Most superyacht charters depart from Airlie Beach or Hamilton Island. When you meet the yacht staff at the marina, you'll be blown away by the level of service, passion, and commitment that everyone on the team has for giving you the best possible experience! Board your magnificent vessel and take a tour around the superyacht. Chat with the crew, settle in, and maybe enjoy a welcome drink or two. Find somewhere comfy to lounge and enjoy the scenery as you set sail for the Whitsunday Islands!
Visit Whitehaven Beach
Most guests in the Whitsundays want to visit the world-famous Whitehaven Beach, so this is a popular first stop for a superyacht day charter itinerary. As you pull up to this glorious beach, you won't be able to pull your eyes away from the brilliant white silica sand and the vibrant turquoise water! The superyacht will anchor at a reasonable distance and fire up the tender so you can ride to shore in a smaller boat.
While at Whitehaven Beach, you can partake in any number of activities like swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding, sunbathing, or bushwalking. Hike up to Hill Inlet Lookout for the best views of the iconic swirling sands, or take on a less touristy bushwalk near South Whitehaven. You could have an upscale picnic on the sand, float around on inflatables, or just sunbake and relax. Whatever you choose to do, Whitehaven Beach is a must-see in the Whitsundays!
Try Water Sports
All superyachts are equipped with an impressive array of water sport equipment. Take some time to have a blast in the warm, calm Whitsunday ocean with water toys! Most yachts include paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, fishing gear, sea scooters, and inflatables. Some yachts even have jet skis, foil boards, waterskis, waterslides, wake-surfing gear, and scuba-diving gear. The experienced crew will help you get sorted with your gear and ensure you feel safe and confident using any of the water toys.
Have Lunch
Superyachts have premium catering and beverage packages onboard so you can dine in luxury during your day charter. Many yachts have world-class chefs onboard to design exquisite menus, featuring freshly prepared meals with locally sourced ingredients. Every yacht is different, and some have set food and beverage packages while others offer a bespoke menu that you can help create for your charter.
Take a break from your day of adventure and tuck into a delicious meal at one of the fabulous eating areas. Superyachts often have a few dining areas to choose from, so you can sit at a spacious table in the main lounge area or find a nice spot to sit outside in the sunshine.
Visit Another Reef Site or Island Location
After lunch, it's time to explore more of the Whitsunday Islands and make the most of your day charter itinerary! Again, the day is up to you, so you can choose if you want to visit more unique island locations, spend more time at Whitehaven Beach, or just cruise around and enjoy the views from the yacht.
The Whitsunday Islands are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, so there are wildlife-filled fringing reefs all over the area. Though day charters won't have time to get to the Outer Reef, you can still snorkel or scuba dive in the flourishing reef elsewhere in the Whitsunday Islands! Choose to visit unique reef sites for some amazing diving, or head to other island destinations to see secret beaches, hidden coves, and gorgeous lookouts and viewpoints.
Relax Onboard
Finish up your superyacht day charter with some much-needed rest and relaxation. A superyacht is like a five-star hotel on the water, so take advantage of all the high-quality amenities and lounge areas. Chill on a sunbed overlooking the ocean, soak in the jacuzzi, or sip on a gourmet cocktail while watching the sun drift lower across the sky. Listen to music, chat with your loved ones, and kick your feet up as your superyacht glides over the Coral Sea on its way back to the Marina.
This example itinerary is just one of the ways you can spend your day on a superyacht! Charters are flexible, so don't hesitate to discuss your itinerary plans with our travel agents during the booking process and we'll do our best to make your day everything you've ever dreamed of!
