Sunsail Whitsundays Cruising Area

Sunsail operate their yacht charters and sailing holidays in The Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef, which is a World Heritage National Park. The Whitsundays are situated on the north east coast of Queensland, Australia, inside the Great Barrier Reef, between latitude 20° and 21° south and longitude 148° 48’ and 148° 30’ east.

Explore deserted islands, sandy beaches or simply relax aboard your yacht as you soak up the sunshine in this aquatic wonderland.

With so many islands and anchorages, you will need to return to the Whitsundays many times before you think you have seen it all!

Guide to the Whitsunday Islands

The most informative cruising guide for the Whitsundays is "100 Magic Miles" by David Colfelt. This book clearly outlines all islands, reefs and features in the sailing area making navigating through the Whitsunday Islands a breeze. 

The book also details fishing guidelines and snorkelling spots plus has loads of information on the local area and individual destinations.

All Sunsail vessels have this guide onboard, but we do recommend you purchase and read the book prior to your charter.

The book can be purchased for AUD$85.00 (within Australia) by simply emailing us at sunsail@sunsail.com.au or calling 1800 803 988.
