The Scenery — Snorkel the spectacular coral reefs and relax on the world’s best beaches
A Whitsunday sailing adventure wouldn’t be complete without an unforgettable visit to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach. Considered one of the most beautiful beaches on Earth, Whitehaven’s seven-kilometre stretch of powdery shores are made up of 98% silica sand so blindingly white it appears surreal and shimmering waters of translucent blues.
Sink your toes into soft sands lapped by gentle waters and take in a jaw-dropping landscape you thought only existed on postcards. Stretch out your sea legs with a bushwalk up to the heights of Hill Inlet Lookout and South Whitehaven Lookout — two incredibly scenic spots that promise unforgettable 360-degree vistas. Admire a majestic hillscape cloaked in lush flora, rising above a border of silky white sands, beautifully interlaced with swirls of turquoise waves.
Below the shimmering surface lies an aquatic paradise of equal magnificence, a wonderfully rich world of coral and colourful fish, an underwater playground for an abundance of sea life — turtles, rays, dolphins and more — waiting to be explored. With plenty of spontaneous snorkelling stops throughout your adventure, you’ll have every opportunity to witness the very best of this pristine ecosystem.
When fun-filled days draw to a close, gather on the beach and bask in the orange glow of golden hour as the sun sets below the horizon — a magical moment shared with your nearest and dearest.

Your Itinerary — A two-night, three-day sail onboard Hammer with all meals and the services of a captain and crew
Your adventure begins at 10am in Airlie Beach, the glistening gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. Join your crew at the Coral Sea Marina and step onto your incredible 73-foot maxi yacht, Hammer, a newly renovated speedy sailing ship that’s perfectly equipped to slice through the impossibly blue waters surrounding the islands and inlets — and agile enough to hug the powder-white coastline, getting you as close as possible to the shimmering shores.
Let the wind guide you into the horizon as you set sail through the azure waves of the Coral Sea for three days of action and relaxation. With no set course to follow, allow your experienced crew to listen to the will of nature — and your personal requests — so they can tailor an unbeatable sailing adventure to ensure maximum enjoyment. One thing is for sure — an unforgettable visit to the world-famous Whitehaven Beach.
Stretch your sea legs and get your nature fix with up to two bush walks, ranging from 20 minutes to three hours, and experience the raw beauty of the Whitsundays on your choice of scenic trails. Whether you prefer a gentle coastal stroll or a more rigorous trek, the guides will follow your lead and show you the best routes, from Passage Peak to Hook Island, depending on where the wind takes you!
It’s near impossible to find anything more magical than a Whitsundays sunset. Join your friends to bask in the orange glow of golden hour and watch the blue sky burst into flames as the sunset reflects in the rippling tide. Afterwards, chill out on deck under a sparkling canopy of stars and enjoy a few drinks (BYO), then let the gentle waves rock you to sleep in the comfort of your cosy cabin.
Return to the Coral Sea Marina at approximately 3.30pm on your last day then keep the adventure alive with an after-party in Airlie Beach! Meet with your crew for a fun-filled catch-up and reminisce about your favourite moments from your trip; there’ll be a reserved table, drink and meal discounts available.
Three-Night Upgrade (Condor or Broomstick): Extend your adventure with a four-day, three-night sailing onboard the impressive Condor or Broomstick maxi yachts and enjoy an extra day in paradise. In addition to the incredible experiences featured in the two-night itinerary, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit the phenomenal Outer Reef, where you can plunge into pristine waters and snorkel among untouched reefs and myriad marine life in some of the clearest waters in the world (weather dependent).
