Sailing in The Whitsundays
Lying just off the Queensland coast and sheltered by the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays are Australia's answer to the sailing / cruising grounds of the Caribbean, and home to Australia's largest fleet of charter yachts.
The 74 islands most of them in pristine national parks offer a lifetime's worth of quiet anchorages and empty white-sand beaches fanned by steady breezes virtually every day of the year.
Situated on 20°4'S
and 148°5'E, the Whitsundays has a welcoming tropical climate
with an estimated average 8.25 hours of sunshine daily and mean annual
temperatures of 27-24°C max. and 21°C min. Perfect conditions
for your bareboat sailing charter.
A bareboat yacht
charter in The Whitsundays, allows you the freedom to sail in
a World Heritage Listed Marine National Park and as there are only 8 island resorts here, the area is basically an untouched wilderness.
