A few words from some of our happy customers

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

Splash the Dog

Sunrise on Hope island, waking up to the sound of bird noises …. Not the classic Midnight Oil album.

Wet season 7 day charter with lots of beautiful snorkelling, islands and a variety of conditions. Great company and solid crew make the experience all the more enjoyable. Off to hope island this afternoon for some island time.

Sailing home after a nice day out on the outer reef.

As a Portuguese waterdog Splash is always happy in her element.

5 days of calm seas with a sailing family from Georgia was not really ideal weather for the sail side of things but pretty good for the drift snorkelling. They were Great music lovers with a rich history and unique playlists and stories from Elvis, Who and Stones shows to Texas Blues legends from the early days. We are lucky and privileged to meet and spend time with some fascinating people.

Watermark is based in Hervey Bay, presenting an amazing range of options to experience local waters and beyond.

First impressions are always important, and Watermark delivers the wow factor when you approach her from the dock.

Watermark's design and construction provides for an efficient sailing vessel capable of achieving windspeed sailing. As the wind builds, she will comfortably maintain her speed under reefed sails, and guests will enjoy the inherent stability of her 9m beam.

Watermark has 4 double guest cabins with private amenities, a full size chef's galley, tender, and plenty of space on board to relax and enjoy your time away.  She has been lovingly maintained, and presents as an impressive juxtaposition of engineering and art.

Catamaran Hire Whitsundays

Hire a powered or sailing catamaran and holiday in style.

You don’t need a boat licence to hire a catamaran in the Whitsundays. You have the option of bareboat or skippered. Bareboating means you hire only the boat – no crew, no supplies and you do the skippering. Queensland is one of the only places in the world where you can charter a yacht without a boat without a licence. 

The other option is to hire the boat with a skipper allowing you to totally relax as you drift around paradise on earth. The skippers have intimate knowledge of weather patterns, places to see, activities to do and are a great source of information for the local knowledge and history of the area.

Hiring a catamaran to sail around the Whitsundays is one of the most popular holidays in Australia. Clear blue waters, world class beaches, bushwalking in heritage listed parks, the choice of adventure is endless. If you are a keen sailor, you will relish the opportunity to sail one of our luxury catamarans. The boats are meticulously maintained to a high standard and your comfort, safety and enjoyment are a main priority.

If one of the items on your bucket list is cruising the Whitsundays, now is the time to book. What are you waiting for? Check our website for current deals and specials. Give yourself and your family the trip of a lifetime to look forward to. It is a memory you will cherish for years to come.

Born of an ambition

To design the ultimate performance cruising catamaran, every element of the new Cure 55 was designed not to reinvent the wheel but to raise the bar in every area that Catamarans in this class are judged by.

With a power to weight ratio that assures high performance but with a design philosophy focused on safety, the Cure 55 was conceived to be able to cross oceans with speed and comfort whilst still being easily single or short handed.

Technology and process underpin any great project. Production of the Cure 55 catamaran has its foundations in the Designed For Manufacture principal and is underpinned and supported by some of the latest technology currently in use in Global boatbuilding.

Design of the Cure 55 catamaran was undertaken by Paul Bury with support from the in-house Cure Design team.

An absolute design focus on safety, performance and comfort has resulted in a vessel that redefines the way cruising catamarans are seen.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Between a Sailboat or Catamaran for Your Sailing Adventures

C hoosing between a sailboat and a catamaran for your sailing adventures is a significant decision that depends on various factors, including your sailing preferences, experience level, budget, and intended use. Here's an ultimate guide to help you make an informed decision:

1. Sailing Experience:

• Sailboats: Typically require more skill and experience to handle, especially in adverse weather conditions. Ideal for sailors who enjoy the traditional feel of sailing and are willing to invest time in learning and mastering the art.
• Catamarans: Easier to handle, making them suitable for beginners. The dual-hull design provides stability, reducing the learning curve for those new to sailing.

2. Space and Comfort:

• Sailboats: Generally have a narrower beam and less living space. However, some sailboats may offer comfortable cabins and amenities.
• Catamarans: Wider beam creates more living space. Catamarans often have multiple cabins, spacious saloons, and expansive deck areas, providing a more comfortable living experience.

3. Stability:

• Sailboats: Monohulls can heel (lean) while sailing, which some sailors enjoy for the thrill but can be discomforting for others.
• Catamarans: Greater stability due to the dual hulls, providing a more level sailing experience. Reduced heeling makes catamarans suitable for those prone to seasickness.

4. Performance:

• Sailboats: Known for their upwind performance and ability to sail close to the wind. Some sailors appreciate the challenge of optimizing sail trim for efficiency.
• Catamarans: Faster on a reach and downwind due to their wide beam. However, they may not point as high into the wind as monohulls.
• Sailboats: Typically have a deeper draft, limiting access to shallow anchorages and requiring deeper marina berths.
• Catamarans: Shallow draft allows access to shallower waters and secluded anchorages, providing more flexibility in cruising destinations.
• Sailboats: Generally more affordable upfront, with a wide range of options available to fit different budgets.
• Catamarans: Often more expensive upfront due to their size and design. However, maintenance costs may be comparable or even lower in some cases.

7. Mooring and Docking:

• Sailboats: Easier to find slips and moorings in marinas designed for monohulls.
• Catamarans: Require wider slips and may have limited availability in certain marinas, especially in crowded anchorages.

8. Intended Use:

• Sailboats: Ideal for traditional sailors who enjoy the art of sailing, racing enthusiasts, or those on a tighter budget.
• Catamarans: Suited for those prioritizing comfort, stability, and spacious living areas, especially for long-term cruising and chartering.

9. Resale Value:

• Sailboats: Generally have a more established resale market, with a wider range of buyers.
• Catamarans: Growing in popularity, and well-maintained catamarans often retain their value.

10. Personal Preference:

• Consider your personal preferences, the type of sailing you plan to do, and the kind of lifestyle you want aboard your vessel.

In conclusion, both sailboats and catamarans have their advantages and disadvantages. Your decision should be based on your individual preferences, experience level, budget, and intended use. If possible, charter both types of vessels to experience firsthand how they handle and to help make a more informed decision based on your own preferences and needs.
