How a Whitsundays bareboat charter works

A bareboating charter in the Whitsundays does not include a professional crew. You and your family or friends hire a fully equipped yacht or catamaran and operate the vessels yourselves. While on a bareboat charter, you decide your itinerary and the pace of your holiday – where you anchor each night and what activities you do around the Islands.

Some people have incredibly adventurous bareboat charters focused on sailing, resort hopping, hiking and snorkelling. Others prefer to make their Whitsundays sailing holiday a relaxing escape, enjoying lazing on pristine beaches, curling up with a book, unplugging and living onboard at a slower pace.

No qualifications are required to hire a bareboat in Queensland. Everyone receives a comprehensive briefing on how to operate their vessel safely and if needed, help is never far away. Our team are there to support all of our guests on their Whitsundays sailing adventure.  If you’re feeling unsure about your ability to handle a boat, you can hire a sail guide for an hourly or daily rate to make sure you’re confident with skippering the boat yourself.

What does it cost to hire a yacht in the Whitsundays?

The cost of hiring a yacht and sailing the Whitsundays depends on the time of year, the type of boat and the number of people you want to sail with. We’ve made it simple to get a quick quote; Put the dates you want to charter a yacht into our simple online booking system.

Bareaboat Yacht Hire in the Whitsundays is a Certified Ecotourism Holiday

Whitsunday Rent A Yacht is recognised as a Green Travel Leader by Ecotourism Australia, having held ECO Certification for over 10 years.

Guide to the Whitsundays

A veritable paradise, the Whitsunday Islands offer a gateway to the charms of Australia

Tucked away in the stunning aquamarine waters of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands provide everything you could possibly think of for the ideal exotic escape.

Found off the east coast of Queensland, the Whitsundays are the largest group of off shore islands in the vicinity of Australia . The archipelago is predominately uninhabited, but this only adds to the natural charm and wonder of this popular charter destination. What's more, with the  Great Barrier Reef fringing the waters, there's every reason to include the famous attraction into your itinerary.  

The largest island in the collection, Whitsunday Island, is a holiday destination of its own by hosting the world famous Whitehaven Beach. Stretching 7 kilometres, the super soft white sandy beach gives every other coastline a run for its money. The delicate sand is perfect for beachcombing and makes the idyllic setting for pure relaxation.

After seeing the natural tidal shifts at the Hill Inlet a dive in to the exquisitely shaped Heart Reef makes this one beauty spot you will want to visit time and time again. Continue chartering through the national park protected islands to find your dream private getaway. Feel like an island castaway as you stroll along deserted pristine, untouched beaches and hike through the nature trails. Look up to the sky and watch the rainforests towering above you as the wild, native birds decorate the space above you. Jump into the Coral Sea to discover more incredible wildlife including turtles, dolphins and dugongs.

Wildlife is in full dominance on Long Island. Join the native creatures on the land by hiking through the beautiful overgrowth and witness some of the most spectacular scenery in the area. Enjoy the sights of the flora and fauna while taking the time to enjoy the isolation and seclusion of the rainforest environment as well as the peace and tranquillity that comes with it. Follow the Whitsundays Ngaro Sea Trail to Hook and discover some incredible original aborigine cave shelters.

Enjoy the panoramic views along the nature trails of the picturesque island before once again plunging into the turquoise waters to see the Pinnacles, undoubtedly one of the best dive sites in the Whitsunday Islands.

Rejoin civilisation at one of the several 5 star resorts nestled into sublime backdrops along the silky soft beaches of the Whitsundays. Enjoy exclusive lounges and delicious cuisine before indulging in tempting cocktails made from local and branded spirits and mixers. Complete your 5 star experience by soaking up the atmosphere in one of the highly indulgent spas.

Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef

Sailing whitsundays 74 whitsunday island wonders.

Experience the best of Whitsunday’s Sailing, around this beautiful group of uniquely Australian tropical islands located inside the Great Barrier Reef and first navigated by Europeans in 1522. Lying between 20° and 21° south, you will find it today just as magnificent as it was then. These rugged islands are covered in lush tropical vine forest and are surrounded by brilliant clear blue and turquoise waters teeming with tropical fish, turtles, dolphins and whales and manta rays  in winter.

The Whitsundays are one of the few places in the world to combine nature at its unspoiled best with your choice of civilisation – from 6 star sophistication to a hammock on the beach. Aboriginals of the Ngaro tribe plied these island waterways in their bark canoes for millenia. Some remnants of this unique indigenous maritime heritage are still visible and accessible on several islands. So, when you are standing in front of the cave on the hillside above Nara Inlet, looking out at the peacefully anchored yachts to the lush vine forest across the water, let your imagination run free to thousands of years ago. The thought will come to mind “the Ngaro people certainly knew how to pick a good spot”.

Today in this special World Heritage area, Queensland Yacht Charters member of Dream Yacht Charter offers you a floating home with which to explore this treasure trove of islands. Still pristine and uncrowded, the protected waterways, beaches, coral reefs, vine forests and resorts are easily accessible and awaiting your appearance.

We offer you custom itineraries starting from a 5 night minimum, based on our Team’s extensive local knowledge, from which to explore the Islands and get the best out of your Whitsunday’s Sailing holiday.

Ask our team to tailor your visit to suit you, whether it’s Fishing, Snorkelling, Bush Walking, Paddle-boarding, Playing Pirates with the kids or Watching for Whales that takes your fancy or perhaps something a little less strenuous like kicking back in a calm beautiful bay in a sunny spot with your favourite book or saluting the sunset with a glass of Champagne and as night falls bearing witness to the moon and millions of stars so visible without all of the City lights – make the most of it – with us as your guide.
