This company on Hamilton Island run daily cruises on an ex Sydney to Hobart yacht to Whitehaven Beach and Chalkies beach. They also run a twilight cruise around in front of Qualia which is the islands top end resort. The day sail includes lunch of salads, prawns and breads, morning and afternoon tea although you have to pay extra for drinks. The twilight cruise for $60 includes all drinks and nibbles.
I have just finished working for this company, the day cruise is really relaxed and if the wind picks up then there is some great fast sailing. The boat has a huge red spinakker (big sail that pops out to the side) and it is a lovely way to see Whitehaven bay. They only take up to 32 passengers so it wont ever feel like the cattle market that is fantasea.
The company also run a dinner cruise on the Denison Star, a lovely old motor boat. You can choose between the seafood buffet night, and the A la carte menu. The food is delicious and if it is a clear night you get a beautiful sunset and great views of the whitsundays and hamilton island.
The staff are very professional, they are all interested in sailing. You can get 2 different experiences with the dinner cruise and the day sail, and there is a package deal if you would like to book both.
I enjoyed working here, and the location of Hamilton Island is amazing. Day sails start at $180.
Summary: Lovely boats
