    My sister sister-in-law and I joined a younger group of guests and we were apprehensive about whether we would be able to be comfortable sitting on a flat sailboat or sleeping in bunks but it was fine. We sat or laid on the deck or there's an area where you can dangle your feet. We brought towels and pillows to sit on, but they did allow you to use the blankets they had there. Space is limited but you don't need to bring a lot of clothes. You have to get your bag into the bunkbed with you so that was the only thing that was a little bit tricky. I didn't have any trouble sleeping though. I also am prone to motion sickness and I had no sea-sickness at all. Out in the beautiful weather and the blue sky with the wind blowing and the boat sailing along was magical. The snorkeling was fantastic; three different locations which each had their own beauty with lots of healthy-looking coral and lots of beautiful fish. We also saw whales and dolphins! Visited Whitehaven Beach and went hiking, which was great. Breakfasts are simple, lunches fairly simple, but the crew does their best to keep everyone happy and cooked a delicious hot meal for dinner both nights which were fantastic! At night we watched fish and dolphins come up to the boat where the lights were under the water. We watched the sunset and the sunrise every day. My sister and I were the first ones up every day and it was still dark out. The crew Alex, Kate and Tobey were lovely. We received good instructions on how to keep things running smoothly (such as the toilets) and there were no problems. It's not a party thing but you can bring drinks and quietly enjoy yourself. If you want to go to bed at 8:30 you can or you can stay up till after midnight under the stars. We are really into birds and saw a lot of great birds including the white-bellied sea eagle. I think this trip was worth every penny and I would do it again. Personally, I wouldn't mind having it quiet part of the time and not having the music playing the whole time we were on the boat. Also, unfortunately, the front sale ripped so we were powered by motor the whole time which it was not obtrusive, but I'd love to be out there with just the sale propelling us and no other sound. Personal preference. Captain Alex was great and shared a lot of his personal perspective on the reef, which was informative, but not necessarily encouraging conservation and limiting of carbon oil burning, etc. which I think is important personally. He's obviously been sailing for many years and his expertise was valuable and appreciated. He made sure we all kept safe and had a great time. 🐠🐟🐬🐋🪸

    We just departed from the “Spank Me” and we had a great time! Accommodations were about what you’d expect from a racing sailboat, and Captain Alex takes you around to some beautiful places and great snorkeling spots. Marie and Molly cooked us up some really yummy food, and helped us out with whatever we needed. It was fun getting to know the 22 other people on board, and watching the beautiful sunsets. You share a room with lots of other bunk mates, and there isn’t much privacy, but somehow you make it work. If you are a sensitive sleeper, definitely bring earplugs. Alex played great beachy music while we were docked, and everyone just chilled and talked. I would recommend this trip for an adventure to see some beautiful sites.

  • Super fun boat trip!

    We are korean tourists! We were able to see whales, dolphins and turtles on this tour. It was a great experience and an unforgettable memory. The entire tour team sweetly took care of the passengers. This is a tour I would like to participate in again if given the opportunity.

    The snorkelling spots were all incredible, as well as Whitehaven beach which was unreal. The food was delicious, the crew were really sociable and knowledgable. Would 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to tour the Whitsundays.
