At Whitsunday Escape, we take great pride in the quality of our fleet.

Our boats are priced according to their star rating, catering to luxury seekers and budget-conscious travellers. Each boat in our fleet has several of the below listed features, which may help you decide which boat is best for you.  Check the Features listed on each boat’s page.

These additional specifications can enhance the comfort of your trip:

Water-Maker
A water-maker converts seawater into freshwater, eliminating the need to dock at a port to replenish water tanks mid-way through your charter. This allows for longer showers and fewer restrictions on your journey – perfect for larger groups or extended trips. Once you have experienced the convenience of a water-maker, you won’t regret it.

Marina AC
All boats in our fleet offer complimentary air-conditioning when connected to 240v at a marina. Since marinas are designed to be sheltered from the wind, airflow through the boat is limited. Therefore air-conditioning is vital for a comfortable stay onboard, particularly during the tropical summer months.

On Water AC Option
On-water air-conditioning is a luxury available for boats equipped with a generator, at an extra cost. While a pleasant breeze typically flows through the boat year-round, this feature can be particularly beneficial for cooling down the boat before bedtime during the hotter summer months. Two hours of generator usage per day is provided free of charge, with additional hours charged at $10 per hour.

Blue Lights
Underwater lights set a magical ambience attracting an abundance of marine life to the boat at night. Fish, squid and occasionally larger marine species gather around the lights, providing an immersive experience to those onboard watching nature come alive just steps from their deck. Offering endless entertainment to all ages, this connection with nature never gets old.

Auto-Pilot
Auto-pilot will steer the boat at a set course, a great feature when hoisting sails and shorthanded sailing.  This simplifies the sailing experience for both experienced and novice sailors. By automatically maintaining a steady course, charterers can fully focus on the technical aspects of sailing or take in the scenic views and camaraderie on board.

Electric Winch
Electric halyard winches make raising and lowering sails significantly easier, reducing the physical effort required to hoist them. With the winch doing that hard labour at the push of a button, sailing becomes enjoyable for individuals of all physical abilities. Everyone can confidently join in on the adventure and make the most of their time on the water.

Tender Davits
Tender davits allow for the tender to be raised out of the water rather than towed behind, reducing the drag on the boat. Launching and retrieving the dinghy is simple and secure, maximising exploration time and sailing efficiency.

Swim Platform
With the press of a button the platform lowers into the water and provides a perfect spot to cool down and sunbathe or access the water easily and safely. The swim platform is also home for the tender lifting it up and out of the water, rather than held in davits while underway.

Solar Power
Solar panels generate a sustainable energy source, assisting to charge the batteries. This eco-friendly approach not only lessens the environmental impact of your adventure but also allows guests to enjoy a quieter time onboard, all while harnessing the sun’s energy on the open water.

Starlink Option
Starlink is available, as an extra hire, for many boats in our fleet, dependent on the inverter size on the boat. The portable Starlink unit provides reliable connectivity, enabling guests to stay connected with family, work or uni. Fees apply and we recommend booking the unit at the time of booking your charter as limited units are available.
