Reasons to go bareboating in the Whitsundays

Claim deserted islands for yourselves

With 74 islands to explore, most of them completely deserted, you'll be able to find a slice of paradise all your own

Fun for the whole family

Even little kids love going bareboating. When the kids are happy, the parents are happy!

Meet the wildlife

There are so many amazing wildlife experiences you can have in the Whitsunday Islands. On a bareboat, the experience is up close and personal

Relax and unwind

Everybody needs time to recharge the batteries, and relax for a little while. It's time to reward yourself with a proper holiday

World-famous icons

The Whitsundays are home to some famous places, like the extraordinary Whitehaven Beach

Quality time with friends and family

When the real world seems a million miles away, and the most important thing to do is simply to enjoy the view and each other's company

Do I need a licence?

No! You don’t need a licence or qualification to hire a bareboat

All you need is a little boating and navigation experience and we’ll teach you the rest.

We give every customer a comprehensive boat briefing before we send you out on your own.

If you don’t have enough (or any!) experience there are several options:

  • book a Whitsunday Escape guide to sail the boat for you
  • book some extra days of hands-on training with Whitsunday Escape at the start of your holiday to bring you up to speed
  • get some training at home before you arrive for your charter

 

You don’t even need to know how to sail!

Hire a power boat, or hire a sailing catamaran and just use the built-in engines. All sailing boats have very powerful engines built-in. If you don’t know how to sail, you don’t have to. You’ll get to drive around, enjoying a bareboating holiday exploring the Whitsunday islands under motor.

Bareboating is for everyone!
