Rated 4.9/5 on Google. TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice Award Winner

TC Wats, Aquila 43.35-Destiny

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic charter aboard Destiny, the Aquila 44.35 power catamaran, with Whitsunday Escape. So many shaded seating areas to relax in, and the flybridge was a GREAT vantage point for spotting marine life. Systems were easy to use, and the single cabin was perfect for our teenager. Staff were super helpful, fun and friendly from start to finish. We lost count of how many mother and baby whales we got to see. Such a highlight to be so close to these magnificent animals. Not to forget the turtles and dolphins, plus stand up paddleboarding and a hike up to Spion Kop on South Molle Island for incredible views. Highly recommend, we'll be back!

We have absolutely enjoyed our 7 nights aboard Rafiki! Ryan did a wonderful orientation and training morning with us which gave us the knowledge and confidence we needed to take the helm! Anthony greeted us on our return just inside the marina and debriefed and parked us up safely. We loved the layout of Rafiki and I think we have caught the sailing bug! We will be back. A big thanks guys, a great experience :D
