| About Whitsunday sailing holidays |
Climb aboard a legend of ocean sailing or a fully
crewed yacht that will literally blow you away... Holidays Allover
represents the largest fleet of ocean racers and cruising yachts
in the world, and they are all based in the Whitsundays...
You'll spend your days sailing between the Whitsunday islands
and the reef, snorkeling, diving, sunbaking and exploring...
Nights are spent either at anchor off remote beaches and inlets
or at island resorts. Either way, it's party time with other
like-minded adventurers who REALLY enjoy life!

You can be as active as you like
- help sail the boat, troll a line, chat up the person in the
next cabin, watch out for dolphins, turtles or whales, (June
to October is their period here) or just read a book. It's up
to you.
All your meals are included and prepared for you by the crew...
If you would like slower paced Whitsunday cruises or Whitsunday
sailing holidays, try one of the magnificent tallships or a
big power catamaran. They offer 3 to 6 day charters with private
air-conditioned cabins, but have a lot more space and a little
less pace than the ocean flyers!

Small ship cruising in the Great Barrier Reef takes you far from the beaten track and close up to places only the locals know. Experience islands, reefs and dive sites where the flood of tourists has not overrun them and will not overrun you... Young, enthusiastic crews delight in providing personalised service... Bright, multi-skilled, often locally recruited, they are eager to share their extensive knowledge and make your small ship experience personal. Because you are in a smaller group, there is more time for learning and understanding... Onboard and on-site experts provide detailed insights into the history, landscape, biology and ecology of the Great Barrier Reef you have come to explore. |

These cruises are for folk who love to travel by sea and crave something different from the theme park spectacle of large, 2,000 passenger cruise ships... The joy of small ship cruising includes the opportunity to talk to everyone - passengers and crew. Numbers are normally limited to 50-70 passengers and these are invariably an assorted international group... and the small ship size means you go where the others don't! |
