A few words from some of our happy customers

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

With boarding beginning at 7.30am your delegates will be welcomed aboard the boat by our professional crew and offered an array of pastries, tropical fruit, tea and coffee and given some time to settle in and find an area to relax for the journey out to the Great Barrier Reef.

We begin cruising at 8am and travel at high speed for 30 kilometres to reach our first dive and snorkel reef of the day.

Dependant on the tides and weather on the reef at the time, we will be cruising out to Upolu Reef which has a pure white sand cay that is visible at low and mid tide. 

Guests can get off the boat and choose to snorkel from the sand cay or of the back of the boat into the alluring turquoise waters.

It's here that guests can ride around the coral reef systems in the glass bottom boat with the Marine Interpreter who will be identifying the species of fishes, talking about the hard and soft corals and the inhabitants each variety attracts.

The changing colours of the blue water here will delight your private charter boat guests and no doubt they will be planning on bringing back their own family after visiting such a spectacular location on a business trip like this one.

After enjoying Upolu Reef it’s time for the piece de resistance of all diving and snorkelling destinations, the Wonder Wall!

Travel time to the Wonder Wall from Upolu Reef is only 10 minutes so it gives you time to have a quick snorkel before a sumptuous lunch and for the adventurous people you can join the complimentary adventure drift snorkel tour with one of the boats guides.    

Should any of your guests not be swimmers or very confident in the water the dedicated crew will be there with flotation equipment and some good advice so they may also enjoy the day.
