Half way along the Queensland coast, nestle a group of 74 lush, green islands bordered on the east by the magnificent Great Barrier Reef, and to the west by wooded headlands and sandy bays of the Whitsunday coast.

In 1770, James Cook had no idea that he was sailing through what would become one of the world's best yachting and holiday destinations. There are a myriad of resorts and accommodation houses both on the mainland and the islands to choose from, and getting here is easy. There are daily flights from major cities in Australia, or train and bus services.

The climate is sub-tropical, with winter day temperatures (June to August) around 20 degrees C, and summer temperatures up to the mid 30's. The best time to visit is between July and October, but, as our climate suggests, we operate all year round.

Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands is where we are based. It is fast becoming one of the most popular holiday destinations in Australia, and it has rapidly become a "mecca" for yachting enthusiasts. There is lots to do, with great restaurants, hotels and resorts, regular ferries, charter operators and flights out to the islands, parties and events happening all the time. During the winter time you may even get to see the Hump-Back whales as they migrate through the islands!
