Gold in the 2026 Best of Queensland Experiences Program
Whitsunday Escape has been awarded Gold in the 2026 Best of Queensland Experiences Program, recognising our delivery of exceptional bareboat charter holidays in the Whitsundays.
The Best of Queensland Experiences Program, led by Tourism and Events Queensland, recognises tourism operators that deliver high-quality visitor experiences and meet industry best practice. The program is based on independent criteria, including online customer reviews, consumer expectations and the full visitor journey from dreaming and planning through to booking, experiencing and sharing.
What does Gold mean in the Best of Queensland Experiences Program?
From 2026, the program includes three recognition levels: Best of Queensland Experience, Silver and Gold. Gold is the highest recognition level, awarded to tourism products that achieve 100/100 points.
For Whitsunday Escape, this Gold recognition reflects the care, consistency and attention to detail that goes into every charter. From your first enquiry to returning home, our team works hard to make self-skippered holidays feel supported, memorable and easy to enjoy.
Why this award matters for Whitsunday Escape guests
Being recognised at Gold level gives our guests extra confidence when choosing us for their Whitsundays bareboat charter. It reflects what our guests often post in their reviews: they value our friendly team, thorough briefings, well-maintained fleet, daily support and the freedom to experience the islands their way.
