About Prosail Whitsundays
Prosail Whitsundays is Airlie Beach's specialist liveaboard sailing operator, running multi-day adventures through the Whitsunday Islands aboard a fleet of purpose-rigged racing maxi yachts. Their vessels — including the legendary Hammer and Condor — are former ocean-racing boats converted for adventure tourism, giving guests the thrill of sailing a genuine race yacht while island-hopping through some of Australia's most pristine waters.
Their core offerings include two-day and three-day liveaboard sailing trips that visit Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, and multiple snorkelling sites on the fringing Great Barrier Reef. Guests sleep aboard the yacht under the stars or in comfortable below-deck berths, with all meals, snorkelling gear, and wetsuits included. Prosail also operates specialist freediving liveaboard trips and exclusive private charters for groups, corporate events, and schoolies celebrations.
What sets Prosail apart is the authentic sailing experience — these are real racing yachts, not motorised catamarans, so guests actively participate in hoisting sails and trimming lines alongside the crew. The intimate group sizes (typically 20-30 guests per vessel) create a social, backpacker-friendly atmosphere that has made Prosail a favourite among younger travellers and adventure seekers visiting the Whitsundays.
