About Powerplay Whitsundays
Powerplay Whitsundays operates a luxury two-storey power catamaran offering overnight sailing experiences through the Whitsunday Islands. Purpose-built for comfort and speed, Powerplay combines the island-hopping adventure of a sailing trip with the stability, space, and modern amenities of a power vessel — making it one of the most popular overnight tour options departing from Airlie Beach.
Their signature 2-day, 1-night tour visits Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet lookout, and multiple snorkelling sites on the fringing Great Barrier Reef around the Whitsunday Islands. The catamaran features air-conditioned cabins, a spacious sundeck with 360-degree views, a rear swim platform, and complimentary use of stand-up paddleboards and kayaks. All meals, snorkelling gear, and national park fees are included. The vessel anchors overnight in a sheltered bay, where guests can stargaze from the top deck or enjoy sunset drinks as the islands turn golden.
Powerplay has earned consistently outstanding reviews for the quality of their crew, the comfort of the vessel, and the variety of the itinerary. Unlike traditional sailing boats, the power catamaran covers more ground in less time, meaning guests visit more islands and snorkelling sites without the slower pace of sailing. The vessel's two-storey design provides ample personal space, and the social atmosphere attracts a mix of couples, solo travellers, and small groups. For a premium overnight Whitsundays experience with modern comforts, Powerplay is hard to beat.
