About Whitsunday Rent A Yacht
Whitsunday Rent A Yacht is the longest-established, Australian-owned yacht charter company in the Whitsundays, helping visitors explore the 74 islands of the archipelago since 1978. Operating from their private jetty at Shute Harbour — the closest mainland port to the Whitsunday Islands — they offer a fleet of sailing yachts, catamarans, and power boats ranging from 32 to 47 feet, all fully equipped for self-skippered bareboat adventures.
No boating licence is required to charter, though the team conducts a thorough briefing on vessel handling, navigation, and the best anchorages before departure. Every yacht comes with a fully equipped galley, gas stove, oven, BBQ, linen, towels, navigation instruments, VHF radio, snorkelling gear, and a tender with outboard motor. Charterers can choose from 3-day, 5-day, or 7-day itineraries, with the team providing detailed sailing plans covering the best anchorages, snorkelling spots, and island walks — including the famous Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet lookout.
What distinguishes Whitsunday Rent A Yacht is their Shute Harbour location and decades of local expertise. Their moorings and on-shore amenities are available to charterers throughout their trip, and the passionate local team provides 24/7 on-water support. For groups wanting a skipper, crewed charter options are also available. After 45-plus years on the water, they know every sheltered bay, tidal window, and sunset anchorage in the islands.
