Step aboard at Airlie Beach, where your crew welcomes you with a tropical cocktail and eco-briefing. Sail through shimmering turquoise waters toward Cid Harbour, framed by lush peaks. Drop anchor for an afternoon swim, then enjoy sunset canapés as the stars bloom over the Coral Sea.

Cruise to Hamilton Island for a morning of relaxed island exploration — from boutiques to lookout trails. By midday, arrive at Whitehaven Beach, where the pure silica sands stretch for seven kilometers. Take a tender ashore for a swim or a guided hike to Hill Inlet’s breathtaking panorama before a beach barbecue dinner under the stars.

Anchor at Mantaray Bay, famed for its coral walls teeming with reef fish and graceful rays. Spend the day snorkeling, paddleboarding, or exploring nearby coves by tender. Sunset brings a private degustation dinner on deck paired with local Australian wines.

Sail to the legendary Hardy Reef, one of the most vibrant sections of the Great Barrier Reef. Dive or snorkel among coral gardens alive with turtles, reef sharks, and parrotfish. Lunch is served overlooking the reef’s turquoise expanse before a golden-hour return to your anchorage.

Anchor off Blue Pearl Bay, where coral bommies meet crystal waters. Swim or dive straight from the yacht, or enjoy a guided reef interpretation with your onboard marine biologist. As dusk settles, dine alfresco beneath a canopy of stars while the sounds of the sea surround you.

Morning brings a scenic cruise to Border Island. Snorkel in Cateran Bay, a protected marine sanctuary alive with soft corals and reef fish. In the afternoon, hike Whitsunday Peak for sweeping views across the archipelago, then unwind with sundowners on deck.

Sail back through tranquil channels toward Airlie Beach. Enjoy a final swim off the stern or a slow breakfast overlooking the islands. Over a farewell brunch featuring local seafood and tropical fruit, reflect on a week of pure Australian brilliance — where reef meets luxury, and every sunrise promised new discovery.
