Sailing
As soon as Camira leaves the marina, setting the sails becomes the top priority. See how the crew use a combination of manual technique and powerful mechanical winches to pull up the mammoth sails to cruise through the calm Whitsunday waters. As you cruise along, you can relax on the bow nets, lounge on the comfortable seats or seek out the snacks in the spacious interior cabin. Camira is designed for comfort and space to make sure you have the best day on the water.
