Sailing with eight guests in four private cabins with ensuites, Whitsunday Blue is a relaxed and spacious 41ft catamaran suited for those looking for a fun trip with gourmet meals and scuba diving available. Whitsunday Blue departs from Abel Point Marina, Airlie Beach for a 2 day/2 night sail through the Islands visiting destinations such as Hamilton or Daydream Island and Whitehaven Beach. One of the few vessel to offer snorkelling, water kayaking and fishing.
The inherent stability of a catamaran means you can relax and unwind in comfort as your hostess and professional skipper guide you around the calm anchorages of the magnificent 74 Islands. The ultimate getaway as you meet new friends and are taken to exclusive beaches that the larger cruise ships cannot access.

Snorkeling, fishing, diving and kayaking are all available, or simply enjoy a good book and a quiet relaxing sail. Another option is to visit well known Whitsunday Islands such as Hayman, Hamilton, Daydream or Club Med Lindeman and explore their collection of cocktails bars and pools.
