THE WHITSUNDAYS ROUTE

WHITE SAND BEACHES. TROPICAL ISLANDS. DIVING PARADISE.

An archipelago of 74 idyllic islands located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef create the perfect sailing oasis. While a majority of the Whitsundays are uninhabited national park, 4 islands offer world class dining and nightlife, all with access to white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs at their doorstep.

The Whitsunday Islands are home to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. These uniquely Australian tropical islands are covered in lush tropical vine forest and are surrounded by a kaleidoscope of brilliant blue and turquoise waters, teaming with tropical fish, dolphins, turtles & whales

The laid back vibes of Airlie Beach coupled with the world-class sophistication of Hamilton Island create the perfect balance for the ideal getaway. By nightfall, the vibrant town of Airlie, often referred to as the party capital of Queensland, becomes a party mecca.

THE ROUTE

MAP

Nothing quite compares to the experience of a bareboat charter with the Bucketlust – we provide you with everything you need for an incredible adventure including your own yacht and an itinerary of events that you can travel to each day choosing your own routes and activities along the way.

Bareboating provides the utmost in freedom and privacy …you can do whatever you want, whenever you want to! 

When you book a charter with us you will be the skipper in charge, and your friends the crew, however if you are unsure of your sailing abilities, you can hire a professional sail guide who will be your tour guide, mentor, yachting instructor and best friend for the week.

A bareboat charter allows you to truly get away from it all. Even the most intimate hotel doesn’t allow the bespoke experience that you can achieve with a bareboat vessel. You’ll feel like you’re in your own little world on your yacht, cruising in your own special piece of paradise … this is the perfect recipe for a week away from the real world.
