So, without further ado, here are our top five reasons to take a COVID-safe adventure on a private charter!

1. COVID-safe

Not only do private charters keep up with the comprehensive COVID precautionary measures of all of our sailing experiences, but they also allow you to bring exactly who you want on your adventure! The perfect way to minimise your contact with other travellers, private charters keep it intimate, small and personalised. Private charters really are a getaway that allows guests to get away from the masses, making for a worry-free, fabulous family holiday, romantic escape or social fun sail!

2. Quality time with your loved ones

Craving some time to unwind and reconnect with your loved ones? Want to escape to the tropics with your favourite bunch of mates? In need of some romantic, quality time with your partner? Well, our array of private charters have you covered! This personal experience allows you to make incredible memories and spend quality time with a select few in one of the most wondrous natural destinations in the world. Escape the crowds and focus on those who matter most as you explore the Whitsundays like never before! 

3. Create your own itinerary 

One of the most enticing perks of a private charter is your ability to design your very own, personalised itinerary for your sail. Whether you’re a snorkelling fiend, island adventurer, beachside sunbaker, sailing enthusiast or luxury reveller, you can take your journey at whatever pace you desire, to whichever corners of the Whitsundays call your name! Discover the wonders waiting for you in the Great Barrier Reef with a snorkel, frolic amongst the silica sands of Whitehaven Beach and enjoy the swirling sands visible from Hill Inlet Lookout. Or, venture to the abundance of quieter, hidden gem islands such as Hook Island, Langford Island, Haselwood Island and Molle Island to name just a few!

4. Slow down 

Escape the hustle and bustle of life and slow down amongst the stunning Whitsunday Islands, known for turquoise waters, bright white sandy beaches and chilled-out island vibes! Once you hop aboard your own private charter, you’ll be breathing in that salty ocean air and setting your watch to island time in the blink of an eye. With a selection of family-friendly private charters, you can reconnect with the kids amongst nature's beauty, or wine and dine your other half with our array of romantic private charters! Sail from one stunning destination to the next as you slow down and soak up some much-needed r & r in the dreamy Whitsunday Islands! 

5. Flexible cancellations 

Many of our private charters have flexible cancellation policies that are particularly handy when it comes to planning a holiday during a pandemic. In the unfortunate case of any last-minute restrictions, many of our sailing experiences are able to be rebooked, without the hassle or stress! We want to make travel during these unprecedented times as practical, worry-free and realistic as possible, for both you and us! Enquire with our friendly travel agents to recommend the best private charters with flexible cancellation options, so you can book your holiday and take it whenever you are able to!
