Arriving at the marina for check in at 2.30pm is the beginning of your luxury catamaran sailing experience – Waiting to welcome you aboard our magnificent catamaran are our skipper and hostess. After an on board vessel briefing, and waiver signing, we sail out to explore the very best the Whitsundays have to offer. We cruise effortlessly across turquoise waters toward your first night of rest and relaxation amongst the islands of the Whitsundays. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks as you get to know your new friends. At the first quiet anchorage your hostess will be preparing your sumptuous feast. After your meal, kick back and relax under the stars. After a last glance across the shimmering waters, you fall into your huge, comfy berth and enjoy the best nights’ sleep you’ve ever had while Getaway floats peacefully in her secluded anchorage.
Day Two
Don’t sleep in – there’s too much to do! The crew are up early to make you a cup of tea of coffee and prepare your fabulous continental breakfast. After a quiet pleasant sail we head off to visit the vast silica sands of the magnificent Whitehaven Beach. Wading through crystal clear water over brilliant fine white sand with the ocean vista before you is an experience never to be forgotten. You may never want to leave, but once back on board you will devour a superb smorgasbord. We then up anchor to visit one of the many sensational islands fringed by stunning coral reef. After a full day of snorkeling, swimming or simply relaxing and soaking up the magnificent views, our palatial cruise boat drifts gently to another spectacular anchorage, to watch the sun set.
Day Three
Your last breakfast on board and another opportunity to get wet if you’re up to it. Getaway will take you on one last swim or snorkel. After morning tea Whitsunday Getaways will set sail for home. On the trip back to Airlie Beach, lounge around on the huge forward nets and soak up the stunning views… Sure to be with you for years to come. Whitsunday Getaway has to be the very best way to visit as much as possible of our beautiful island archipelago. With our friendly crew, fine food and spacious accommodation, you will love cruising the wonderful Whitsundays.
