A few words from some of our happy customers

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

More FAQ's

Where can I park?

There is plentiful free parking at Marina Mirage/Mariners Cove which you are permitted to use.  Please check signage at time of parking and if parking overnight consider street parking to avoid towing.

What about other transport options?

There are lots of ways to get to the boat! The most popular (and cost effective/convenient) is often via Maxi Taxis.

I am short on time can you please help me out with catering/drinks?

Yes, we also offer catering and drinks service for your convenience. Please request our full catering list as advance bookings are required. We offer a range of catering options from grazing boards, to canapes and private chefs.

(Catering and drinks service options may be affected by Government restrictions due to Covid, please check at the time of your charter what the current restrictions are)

Do you have Eskies on board?

Yes we have Fridges & Eskies and we also provide ice. 

Where can we go on our charter?

We mainly operate in the calm, protected waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater. Where to go very much depends on what you would like to do and how long your boat charter is for so please feel free to discuss this with our team. In a 3 hour charter during the day our guests usually love a swim stop at Wavebreak Island where you can enjoy the range of island activities on board. Your skipper is knowledgeable in the local area and will make recommendations based on the conditions on the day.  If you don’t wish to swim in a 3 hour charter you instead opt to sail further north along the inside of South Stradbroke Island and see the millionaires mansions at Sovereign Islands.

In the evening we will generally sail north to watch the sunset and return to the southern part of the Broadwater to enjoy the city lights after dark which are just beautiful.

Will I get seasick?

We mainly operate in the calm, protected waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater. If we go offshore (into the open ocean) there is a possibility of large waves. 

Are your charters suitable for guests with limited mobility?

We have welcomed several guests on board with limited mobility. However we do realise that each individual is different in terms of ability and what they are comfortable with. Please take a look at the 360 tours on the ‘ Our Boats ‘ page for an ideal of getting around the boats and do bear in mind a big step up (or carry) is required to board the boats at the marina. Our friendly team will be happy to discuss further to ensure you and your guests are comfortable prior to making a booking.

Where to charter a yacht in Queensland

Check availability, charter a yacht in queensland, australia's tropical state and home to one of the best sailing destinations in the world, the whitsundays..

If you’re looking to charter a yacht in Queensland, look no further than hiring a bareboat and sailing the Whitsundays.

Chartering a yacht in Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands and skippering it with your friends and family is the holiday of a lifetime. It’s called a bareboat charter, which means the renter is responsible for providing th crew, fuel, food and supplies. Hire a boat to suit your group’s needs, and then pick where you want to go, enjoying the freedom to explore at your own pace.

A boat license is not needed to hire a bareboat in the Whitsundays. We go into this below in the FAQs.

The ultimate place for a Queensland yacht charter in the Whitsundays

Comparable to the Greek Islands and Croatia, Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands are a world-class sailing destination.

Located in a sub-tropical climate of 74 pristine islands, the Whitsundays are protected by the outer Great Barrier Reef, which stops large ocean swells. Sailing conditions are generally calm, with steady southeast trade winds most of the year.

The Islands themselves are mostly uninhabited, with many holding National Park status. There are beaches and secret coves to explore, with over 40 anchorages options giving plenty of options for a protected place to spend the night.

Your yacht charter can be as adventurous or relaxing as you would like. Many people enjoy exploring the beaches, snorkelling and checking out some of the island’s walking trails. Adventure lovers can also experience scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and fishing.

The Whitsunday Islands are home to Whitehaven Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the world. When you charter a yacht, you can see this world-class wonder in the morning or evening away from day tours.

Yacht charter guests can access some island resorts while using their boat as accommodation. Hamilton Island, Daydream Island, Palm Bay Resort and Hayman Island have various options to hire a mooring or pull up a berth and access the resort’s facilities, restaurants, attractions and pools.

Freedom to Explore with Whitsunday Rent a Yacht

Whitsunday Rent a Yacht’s mission is for you to have the adventure of a lifetime, exploring paradise with the freedom only boating can offer.

Our base at Shute Harbour is closer to the Islands

A significant advantage of chartering with Whitsunday Rent a Yacht is our location. The Whitsunday Rent a Yacht base is in Shute Harbour, just 10 minutes from Airlie Beach yet hours closer to the islands.

FAQs about chartering a yacht in Queensland

What is the best time of year to charter a yacht in queensland.

The Whitsunday Islands are a sub-tropical climate with a wet and dry season. The wet season runs from  December to March and the dry season runs from June to August.

The best sailing conditions are considered to be in August and September.

It’s possible to sail the Whitsundays at any time of year, with each season having its own advantages. For example, the wet season has waterfalls and fewer crowds, whereas the dry season coincides with whale’s migrating to the area.

Do I need a license for a Queensland yacht charter?

Queensland’s Whitsundays is one of the only places in the world where you do not need a boat license to hire a yacht without a professional skipper.

Before your charter, you will be given an extensive training session to ensure you can operate the boat safely. If your briefer feels you need additional training or a guide, they will advise you during the session. We also recommend that when making your booking, you express any concerns about your experience to our reservation staff.

How much does a Queensland yacht charter cost?

The cost of chartering a yacht depends on the season, the boat, and the duration.

Costs are determined at a nightly rate, not per head. The longer you charter, the more reduced the nightly rate becomes.

Some of our boats can sleep up to 10 people. In low season, if you split the hire, the average rate per person is approximately $85 a night.  This is comparable if not cheaper than a night in a hotel or staying at a resort, plus the boat includes your transport and entertainment costs.

Can we hire a skipper?

We offer a sail guide service to anyone who would like some additional training or support. Sail guides can be hired for one night or even the duration of your charter.

Want to book a Queensland yacht charter with Whitsunday Rent a Yacht?

Our online booking system will help you to see what boats are available and their costs on specific dates. If you still need more information or you can’t find what you’re looking for, please contact our friendly reservations team.

HEAR IT FROM OUR GUESTS

Our family of 3 enjoyed the best holiday experience during our 6 nights aboard Indigo last week. Even right from the start of our booking process last year, our enquiries were always answered promptly and with helpful info. The boat is well maintained- everything worked as it should and we enjoyed a fabulous time on the waters inside of Fraser Is. We are already planning 2 further trips for next year! Kathy - Google

Wow....how amazing was that experience? We sailed out of Hervey Bay Mariner Saturday 23 September and just had the best 3 days out on the boat. The scenery was amazing and the ever-changing conditions just meant there was something new on each turn of the wheel. Oh and the whales ...how spectacular! We hired Aquila Sunrise - a very luxurious vessel and just so simple to operate - within the first half hour all my fears of having to drive a big boat were allayed. Scott and Mal made everything so simple and easy. Will definitely be coming back! Robert - Google

My husband and I chartered “Alida” for 5 nights. From my initial enquiry through to the finalisation of our charter Steph, Scott and Michael were professional, courteous and helpful throughout. The catamaran was well maintained, prepared and so clean and tidy which we appreciated. If we could give more stars we would. We had a blast - the weather was perfect, we had wind every day and the sunsets were sublime. We loved it so much we are looking to return in the Christmas holidays and will stay longer (yes, it was THAT good!). Carol - Google

About Brisbane

Why is Brisbane a good sailing destination?

Sailing in Brisbane, Queensland, is an exquisite experience, and at Yachting.Rent, we believe in showcasing the best of this remarkable destination. The city is renowned for its beautiful and diverse waterways, with an array of sailing options that make it a top destination for both seasoned sailors and novices alike.

The Brisbane River, a meandering waterway that carves its way through the heart of the city, offers a unique sailing experience. As you cruise along this magnificent river, you’ll have a front-row seat to some of the city’s most iconic sights, from the stunning skyline to the charming riverside parks and historical buildings. The river provides a tranquil setting for day cruises, with the option to stop at one of the riverside restaurants or cafes for a delightful meal.

Venture further into Moreton Bay, and you’ll be greeted by stunning islands and pristine waters. The Bay, home to Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island, offers excellent opportunities for sailing, swimming, diving, and even spotting dolphins. Whether you want to explore the islands, cast a line for some deep-sea fishing, or simply relax on your yacht while enjoying the panoramic ocean views, Moreton Bay provides an ideal setting.

Weather is another factor that makes Brisbane a desirable sailing destination. With a subtropical climate, the city boasts warm, sunny weather for most of the year, perfect for sailing.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Brisbane

At Yachting.Rent, we provide an array of premium boats that promise a memorable sailing experience in Brisbane, Queensland. However, one question we often encounter is – should you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran for your nautical adventure? The answer depends on your specific needs, preferences, and sailing experience.

Sailing boats are traditional, romantic, and provide a pure sailing experience. They’re often preferred by sailing purists for their responsiveness and deep-sea capability. A sailing boat will lean into the wind and allow you to feel every shift in the breeze. They’re perfect for navigating Brisbane River, where their narrow beams and deep keels make them ideal for tight maneuvers. Sailing boats we offer vary in size and design, allowing you to find one that matches your skills and requirements. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor looking for a responsive vessel or a beginner looking for a leisurely cruise, we’ve got a sailing boat for you.

Catamarans, on the other hand, offer stability, space, and speed. Their dual-hull design makes them incredibly stable, reducing seasickness. They’re renowned for their spacious living areas, making them perfect for groups and families. You can enjoy a sunny day out on Moreton Bay with a BBQ on the deck or relax in the comfortable indoor areas. Their shallow draft allows you to navigate closer to the shore and explore areas a sailing boat might not reach. Our fleet of catamarans includes various sizes and models, providing a unique blend of comfort and performance.

In conclusion, both sailing boats and catamarans offer unique benefits. Your choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran for your Brisbane adventure should reflect your sailing proficiency, the size of your group, and your desired experience. At Yachting.Rent, we’re here to assist you in making that choice. We ensure a personalized experience, matching you with a vessel that complements your skills and caters to your needs, promising an unforgettable sailing journey in the enchanting waters of Brisbane, Queensland.

Recent reviews in queensland.

Life is made up of moments that are truly hard to forget! My partner provided me with one of the best birthday presents anyone could ever ask for. I was under the impression we would be staying in an air bnb but when we arrived at a luxurious property and the gate drew back, my surprise took a turn and I quickly realised this was not the place I would be staying. The walkway down to the boat made me very giddy indeed as this was not something you experience every day. We were met by Grant and Carolyn all dressed in boating regalia and the tone was quickly set by their wonderful greeting and eagerness to provide a first-class service. This tone didn’t drop an iota throughout the trip. Every single detail was meticulously planned and I felt like I was royalty for the weekend. The Yacht itself was decadent and opulent beyond what thoughts I could muster. My partner and I did not have to worry about anything at all on the yacht as we were waited on hand and foot by these wonderful people. I have worked in hospitality for the majority of my life and I believe my standards have always been high…..these guys blew it out of the water…..and then some. You have the choice to do exactly as you please and they facilitate all that you require. We got to jump from the top of the boat and go swimming, we visited an idyllic isolated island and had a champagne picnic and we were treated to one of the best meals I have ever had and Grant and Carolyn had just themselves to organise such a ridiculously mouth watering meal. Such was the decency and salt of the earth nature of these guys that we asked them to join us for a few drinks in the evening and we had an absolute blast with them. Top shelf spirits and wines were all part of the package and you really did feel like you would never get an experience like this ever again. I can’t speak highly enough of what this trip meant to us and given the opportunity; we will be embarking on such a voyage in the near future. This trip would not have even been close to what it was without the decency, generosity and kindness that the hosts provided all the way through.

Your trip around the Whitsundays will be an amazing experience that will give you memories to last a lifetime. The boat is a comfortable home away from home and the destinations are truely awe-inspiring. The skipper is knowledgeable and experienced, and you will feel safe in his hands: whether that is when sailing, stand up paddle boarding or snorkelling (with electrified shark repellant). On board dining is also a true gourmet experience, from the fresh local sea food to baked and BBQ delights. If you want to cruise the Whitsundays in a luxury private yacht, you can’t go past this boat experience.

What an amazing experience. Captain and crew were very professional and accomodating. Sovereign Lady is truly luxurious and so spacious. Such a wonderful experience to share with our family and friends. Thank you Bill

What an experience this trip was! The boat is magnificent and the crew on board were so helpful! We will definitely book again! Thanks Bill the GAP & All Pumped Up team had a great time!

Awesome experience. We loved it. Grant and Carolyn are fantastic hosts.
