The Best Australia Yachting Destinations

The Whitsundays

A hypnotic blend of land and sea, postcard-perfect scenery, and world-class diving

Situated in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, the Whitsunday Islands encompass everything you would expect paradise to be. This collection of 74 wondrous islands is surrounded by the tropical waters of the Coral Sea, luring divers from around the globe with its crystalline, reflective waters and renowned diving sites.

As you cruise between the islands, you’ll be immersed in gorgeous, unspoiled white sand beaches, iconic landscapes including Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet, and the perfectly-shaped natural formation of Heart Reef. Named by Captain Cook, the islands were discovered in 1770, yet, to this day, remain largely uninhabited, with only eight of the islands offering resorts.

Underwater exploration is among the best you’ll find anywhere in the world. Swim, snorkel, and scuba dive with thousands of exotic tropical fish and the legendary corals of the Great Barrier Reef. Observe local wildlife in its natural habitat and spot an array of marine life, including humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, and dugongs. There is no limit to what you’ll discover in this magnificent haven.

With direct commercial and private flights transporting travelers from all over the world, the view from above allows you to experience the awe-inspiring landscape even before you set foot on land and board your superyacht.

To take advantage of the best weather for superyacht travel, plan your trip between May and September, when rainfall is low, the water is a refreshing 73ºF, and there are 11 hours of sunlight per day. Your journey will be filled with warm, sunny days, idyllic surroundings, and pure bliss.

Hamilton Island

Fly into Hamilton Island and board your luxury yacht. Stop in to Hamilton Island Yacht Club for some delicious local cuisine, or for a more upscale experience, request a private table at the exclusive, adult-only Qualia Resort. Return to your home on the water for a cruise around the island, stopping at Perseverance Reef or Dent Island to kick off your adventure with a refreshing swim in the glistening water.

Neck Bay

Make way towards Neck Bay and prepare for tranquil solitude at a gorgeous anchorage surrounded by mirror-calm, brilliantly-blue waters. Between the islands of Shaw and Lindemanm, snorkeling along the coast is the preferred recreational activity, where schools of diverse, brightly-colored fish and stunning coral formations are everywhere beneath the surface. Walk across the bay on the “neck” and leave your footprints in the sand of an isolated beach that’s blanketed with unique shells and pieces of coral.
