Our summer months which run from November - March can be extremely hot and humid with passing thunderstorms.  

Our vessels are custom built for the Whitsunday conditions. If the weather becomes dangerous our local harbour master will close down the marina and tours will be cancelled (this is not a common occurrence). Please see 'travel insurance' below. 

​

ITINERARY

​

Boarding our Yacht Condor and home for the next 5 days! We will meet at Coral sea Marina, Airlie Beach at 9:30 am for a meet and greet & coffee at Bohemian Raw Cafe.

 

The Adventure begins 

​

Meet Condor - A brief history: Condor is a maxi sailing yacht born in England in 1981. She is a red and gold 80-foot beauty, with an impressive mast, measuring 22 metres in length and can hold up to 29 passengers. An ex Sydney to Hobart champion winner of 1983 and 1986 race, The Newport Bermuda Race of 1986, where she won 5 hours over the next maxi, and winner of pretty much every major race she entered. Now retired from racing, Condor lives a more modest lifestyle hanging out in Whitsundays where she enjoys passing the days taking people like yourself on island-hopping adventures. 

 

Sailing is an activity that relies heavily on weather conditions, therefore each day will be planned around the tides, winds and swells, as well as the group’s desires. We cannot provide a day to day itinerary for this tour 

 

However, no matter what the conditions, we will ALWAYS visit Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout and visit multiple snorkelling locations, enjoy jungle hikes, bush-walking, Yoga, breathwork, and Icebath and of course… SAILING! 

 

We will also end the trip with a fun little pirate-themed soiree.

​

 We will visit up to 6 snorkel sites. We will choose the best site and timings based on the weather and tides out of the following locations: Blue Pearl Bay, Cockatoo Point, Black Island, Langford Reef, Caves Cove, Butterfly Bay, Luncheon Bay,  Manta Ray Bay, Mackerel Bay, Peters Bay, Saba Bay, Cateran Bay.

 Swim and snorkel in the OUTER REEF! (weather permitting).
