Explore Whitsundays Sailing Adventures

Amazing experience on board Summer Jo! Specially if you like diving! I had the opportunity to take my PADI advanced certification with the best instructors ever, Van and Ben, really took great care and professionalism to help me achieve that during my stay on board summer Jo. Together with the rest of the crew they made these days unforgettable. I highly recommend this in board experience it was so much fun. Also of course the opportunity to dive or snorkel around Great Barrier Reef and enjoy Whitsunday Islands can never be disappointing ☺.

We (22F) got the 2D2N SummerJoe with my friend and absolutely had the best time! Met very cool people and the crew were so so lovely and friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed and on top of that, the food was just AMAZING. Did some snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef and bush walking over the Whitsundays Island towards the Whitehaven beach to enjoy the gorgeous water and sand. I highly reccomend this trip to anyone!

The most amazing experience in Australia. The actual sites such as Whitehaven beach and the Snorkeling was out of this world. But the experience was made even more special by the amazing crew who went above and beyond to make the experience as special as possible.

Solway Voyager for 3 days returned 31st December. One of my best Aussie highlights after 1month+ here! So grateful to the captain & crew who looked after us and allowed us to have a say on what we did. Felt like we were part of the journey, rather than just along for a ride - so special!

Incredible experience ! We were on Prima and everything was perfect, from booking, to finding the crew on the day of the cruise, to itinerary, snorkeling tips, views of hill inlet, meals and snack… congrats to Brooke and Thierry for such an amazing trip! Special note for dietary accommodations : I asked for the veggie option and had the host made a real effort to create a true and delicious veggie option! Thanks again!

We spent 3days and 3nights on Whitsunday Blue. Luckily we had amazing weather which enhanced the entire experience. Food was plentiful and delicious with a good variety over the 3 days. Both Dave and Ines could not have been more helpful and supportive of us. They were both knowledgeable about the area and ensured we saw the most that we could in the time that we had. Feeding George and his friends was a highlight. The entire experience was relaxing and I will be encourageing family and friends to cruise with you.

We had a fantastic time. Maddie and Naz were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and gracious hosts and crew. They took us to fabulous places to hike and snorkel. The food was great and plenty of it.

The most amazing sailing experience and money well spent! Absolutely guaranteed to make friends and memories to last! Even when the weather turned on us whilst we sailed back in the crew kept us in the highest spirits (shoutout to Matty, Leila and Ali). Thankyou and Thankyou again!! Will be back!

A fabulous sailing adventure for 3D3N. Skipper Warren was terrific. Very knowledgeable in getting us to the best anchorages to maximise our day or snorkelling experience ahead of the other boats. He saw to our safety & ensured we were all happy with whatever activities we were doing. Although, only 4 couples, there were several people of different capabilities and interests, and he managed all of us very competently & professionally. Tash, our Host, presented us with lovely meals & lots of sunshine in her demeanour.
Aquamarine water, balmy weather, white sand, spectacular island coastlines and great company…..what more could you want!

Me, my brother and mum who were visiting from Europe were there for 3 days and 3 nights on Summer Jo boat and we absolutely loved it.

The crew was very friendly and absolutely accommodating regarding my mum’s dietary requirements which is celiac. The chef always looked after her and even made special gluten-free desert.

Diving was also very spectacular and snorkeling too. I did two dives and then I snorkelled with family and everything was very nice visibility and super organised.

There was no stress, everyone from the crew was on top of their game, helped each other which created a really nice atmosphere.

The captain, Turtle, was giving the tour a nice beginning giving us all necessary information and a beautiful ending by thanking everyone from his crew doing an awesome job plus a group picture. He was very funny and welcoming and made a lot of jokes.

My mum was very happy because everyone from the crew was helping her getting on and off the boat so she was very amazed by that.

Well recommended

Go for it :)

Our sailing trip with the Whitsunday Blue was beautiful! We snorkeled in a fascinating 'aquarium' full of colorful fish and coral, took walks to the most beautiful look-outs and swam in crystal clear bays. Skipper Zim had set a top course! In addition, Zim and his mate Dan were also good hosts. They provided tasty meals, nice music and a great atmosphere! Our only criticism is that the cabins were not very clean, could be better. But if we forget the latter, the sailing trip with the Whitsunday Blue is one of the best memories of our trip through Australia! Fred & Sacha Lindaart (Wenum Wiesel, The Netherlands)

Such a good tour on the British Defender - made 100 x better by the crew Beth, Zach and Rhys. They were such a great team and made sure we had a great time. Felt super safe, looked after and the food was awesome. Thank You!

It was such a FUN few days, I didn’t want to get off!! Lots of laughter staggering around the boat, lots of WOW moments (views, sunsets, snorkelling, star gazing, wildlife)
The crew Jamie and Hope were brilliant!!
I’d do it again!!!

Just finished the 3D 2N tour on Solway Voyager - hard to put into words how amazing it was! The weather was not on our sides for day 1 but it didn’t dampen the spirits too much. The food was fresh and delicious with lots of variety between the different days. The boat is not your typical yacht, lots of character and felt like an honour to be on such an old vessel. The sleeping cabins were comfortable, I am almost 5ft 10 and didn’t feel cramped at all. There is air conditioning too which made a massive difference at night time. The crew were so much fun and we got to see and do so much. This was the highlight of my east coast travels and I was so sad to leave the boat. Thank you Solway Lass crew and captain Karl - it was the best trip!

Had a great day with Reece, the new boy Jacob, Danica, and captain Dan.
Looked after us really well to give us the best experience we could have with the weather conditions.
Lovely day. Whitsundays was glorious but all the better because of who I booked with.

We had a great time sailing on Withsunday Blue for 3D3N. There were 6 guests and 2 crew onboard. The catamaran is spacious enough for 8 people but it would become quite crowded with 2 more. It is not the newest of boats, but it has aircon which can be essential to some people. We had ample time to snorkel / swim and see the sights. Food was abundant, balanced and of quality. Our crew was friendly, helpful and relaxed and also conscious of safety. Overall, it is good value for money but there was a discount when we booked, so full price may need consideration and comparison with competitors. I recommend the experience and would do it again.

Just wow... This was the best sailing trip I've ever had. We decided to do the Whitsundays blue 3d/3n in order to have enough time enjoying sailing, snorkeling and sun bathing. Our crew with Aaron and Ella were perfect and the took care of us with a incredible variety of food. We went to beautiful snorkeling spots and other breathtaking spots like the Whitehaven Beach as well. I totally recommend doing you sailing trip with explore Whitsundays and if possible the 3 days trip

We had a great time on the Solway Lass. We saw turtles, lots of fish and beautiful corals during snorkeling, Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet are as gorgeous as the pictures seem.
The crew is lovely, food is freshly prepared and delicious! The boat itself is not the youngest so the cabins look a bit dated might require a refurbishment. However, we could sleep on deck under the stars anyway!
All in all, this was the highlight of our holiday.

We went on the 3d2n solway boat trip and it was fantastic. The crew as well as the group were very lovely, we got really lucky with the weather and the landscape of blue water, green islands and white beaches blew our minds. The nights were spent on deck under a starry night sky. The food was good and the snorkeling was great. Would book it again!

We did the 3d3n tour with 6 guests and 2 crew.

We had pinky as skipper and issy as decky, and I could not express my gratitude enough how great these 2 were. Pinky with his humour, informative knowledge and great personality. And Issy for her great hospitality and treating us all like royals. We all felt apart of a family after day 1. Thanks for a great trip guys, keep killing it and I can't wait for when I'm up next I'm definitely going to want to do another trip with you. Not just for the amazing scenery but for the entertainment. Such genuine people who only wanted the best for their guests. Thanks!!
