Every visitor can be assured of a great Whitsunday sailing holiday when you go out on a bareboat charter yacht.

A bareboat yacht charter lets you indulge in the creature comforts of island resorts which cater for everything from family fun to couples seeking the last word in style, luxury and romance... but if a Whitsunday Islands resort is not your thing, you can spend the days relaxing on your bareboat or one of the Whitsunday Islands many beaches.

Geologically, the Whitsunday Islands are all drowned mountains. Prior to the last ice age, they were connected to the mainland and would have all been prominent mountains in the area. The melting of the polar caps drowned the valleys between the mountains, creating what are now called the Whitsunday Islands with seven of these Islands having resort facilities... Other than the resorts, the whole area is part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the uninhabited islands are all controlled by National Parks and Wildlife.

You can visit the uninhabited islands by renting a bareboat charter yacht, private boat, or water taxi. However, it is necessary to obtain camping permits from the National Parks office if you are intending to stay the night... Many of the smaller islands have no paths or tracks, and exploration is often restricted to walking around the beaches and rocky points.

If there is a perfect holiday destination on the Queensland coast, it is probably the Whitsunday Islands. It is here that you can enjoy the delights of the Great Barrier Reef, the warmth of the tropics and a range of activities from bareboat yacht charters... to scuba diving and bushwalking... a diversity of lifestyles from backpackers and takeaways to luxury hotels and international a la carte restaurants all meet in a wonderfully harmonious combination of delights.
