Whitsundays Sailing
Sailing in the Whitsundays and the Whitsunday islands is one of the best holidays imaginable. Sunsail and Whitsunday rent a Yacht are two of the major companies operating sailing charters in the area. There is now a thriving industry based in the Whitsunday Islands and in Airlie Beach catering to those who wish to take a fully crewed or bare boat charter holiday. Sailing Cruises are available from Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour and Hamilton Island and there is an almost endless array of vessels to choose from, each offering a unique experience in sailing the Whitsundays.
From Airlie beach you can hire your own bare boat from a number of companies.

Oz Adventure Sailing are the largest operators of crewed sailing adventures and you can do a day tour or an extended tour into the Whitsunday Islands area. All standards are catered to and you can choose everything from an old-world square-rigger or schooner through to a modern maxi racing yacht. Barefoot Cruises is another operator to offer a range of quality boats.
Many Whitsundays Sailing Charters adventures depart from Shute Harbour, here you will have the opportunity to join Whitsunday Rent a Yacht for bare boat adventure or join any number of other crewed day or extended sailing cruises.
