A Whitsundays by Superyacht Experience

28 August 2025

Seventy-four islands shaped for superyachts: Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet at the right tide, the calm hush of Nara Inlet, glass-clear water off Hook Island, and long, easy days where the sea stays in every frame.

This is a considered Whitsundays superyacht charter—experience-led, crew-curated and timed to the breeze—designed for guests who prefer unhurried mornings, toy-ready afternoons and evenings that feel distinctly Australian.

When to go: the Whitsundays at their best

May–October: steady trades, crisp visibility, comfortable sleeping temperatures—ideal for island-hopping and water days.

October–January: warmer seas and a lively summer mood for families and festive gatherings.

What a week feels like:

Whitehaven & Hill Inlet
Arrive on a slack-tide window and walk the lookout while the sands swirl below. Return to the yacht for a late swim and an unhurried lunch on deck.

Hook Island reef days

Butterfly Bay and Blue Pearl Bay are favourites for snorkelling; we time sessions for the right light. Expect turtles, coral gardens and calm water for paddleboards.

Nara Inlet evenings


A fjord-quiet anchorage with glassy, sand-bottom holding. Sunset canapés on the upper deck; dinner follows the curve of the hills.

Langford Spit & Black Island


Sand-spit swims, barefoot beach set-ups and gentle tender runs—perfect for families and golden-hour photographs.

Outer-reef option


When conditions invite, we arrange a private day with a licensed operator to take you out to the bommies—clear water, careful briefings, and a soft return to the islands by dusk.

A considered 7–10 night Whitsundays itinerary (sample flow)

Day 1 — Hamilton Island arrival, short hop to Cid Harbour for swims and a relaxed first evening.
Day 2 — Nara Inlet hush; morning paddleboards, dinner on deck.
Day 3 — Tongue Bay → Hill Inlet → Whitehaven at the right tide; long beach day.
Day 4 — Chalkies/Haslewood as Whitehaven’s quieter counterpoint; snorkel and a late lunch underway.
Day 5 — Stonehaven for reef time and soft sunset.
Day 6 — Blue Pearl Bay for a morning in the water; afternoon at Langford Spit.
Day 7 — Leisurely swim, then return to Hamilton Island to disembark.
Extend to 10 nights: hold an outer-reef day, add a lay day at Chance Bay, and include a northern loop towards Hayman when it suits the forecast.

We tune stops to the weather—keeping passages short and the water close.

Seamless arrivals

Fly into Hamilton Island (HTI) or Airlie Beach (PPP); we handle VIP transfers, baggage, provisioning and a smooth embarkation. From there, it’s all island time.
