About Charter Yachts Australia
Charter Yachts Australia operates a modern fleet of bareboat charter vessels from Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach, with delivery options also available from Hamilton Island. Their fleet includes sailing yachts, catamarans, and power boats suited to groups of all sizes, from couples on a romantic getaway to families and groups of friends looking for the ultimate island-hopping adventure through the Whitsunday Islands.
All vessels are fully provisioned with galley, navigation equipment, safety gear, snorkelling equipment, and a dinghy with outboard. No boating licence is required — Charter Yachts Australia provides comprehensive pre-departure briefings covering vessel operation, navigation charts, weather patterns, and recommended itineraries. They can also arrange skippered charters for those who prefer to sit back and let an experienced sailor handle the helm. Provisioning services mean guests can have their yacht stocked with groceries, drinks, and supplies before they step aboard.
Based at the heart of the Whitsundays' marina precinct, Charter Yachts Australia benefits from the sheltered waters and close proximity to the islands — most anchorages are within two to four hours' sailing from the marina. Their team of experienced sailors lives and breathes the Whitsundays, providing up-to-date local knowledge on tides, weather, and hidden gems that charter guides simply cannot replicate. For self-directed explorers who want to set their own pace, bareboat chartering is the most immersive way to experience the islands.
