A true sailing experience through the Whitsunday Islands on board the rare Australian classic yacht Lady Enid for adults only. Become involved as much or as little as you like, help set the sails, take a turn at the helm or lean back and relax and enjoy the uninterrupted beauty of the Whitsunday Islands.

This high end tour is barefoot luxury at it's best, sailing to one of the world’s best beaches, Whitehaven Beach and visiting Hill Inlet, swimming in the crystal clear waters of Betty's Beach at Whitehaven and snorkeling the island reefs, will certainly ensure beautiful memories are made.

Your crew will welcome you as their guest, not just a passenger and with only a maximum of 24 guests and up to four crew at your service, you will want for nothing more. The delectable meals are certainly a feature of this experience, including morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea.

We sail back to port into the sunset while a glass of sparkling wine and antipasto is served.

A great day out on a classy vessel, a vibrant crew that added to the journey and great food. Always the dilemma though of not enough time at the 2 stops: Whitehaven Beach & snorkelling stop and yet back to shore almost an hour earlier. The snorkelling area wasn’t great with dull coral and few fish but not the crew’s fault. Pretty wild on the way out with waves coming over but that added to the fun and appreciation of the boat and its history. Nice to have an adult only experience too.
Lovely day out

We had a lovely day out on the Lady Enid. It definitely felt like a more premium trip with the little touches like cappuccino when boarding in the morning, scones with cream and fizz with cheese board on the way back watching the sunset. Whitehaven was just breath taking and the snorkelling was good but not the best we have done, I did see a turtle though! Please note that if you want any soft drinks or beers etc that this is charged on the boat.
An amazing experience on the Lady Enid

This is a must do when visiting Airlie Beach, Pete, Jasmine & Chris were the perfect hosts & despite the choppy start (they’re not responsible for the weather) they made an absolutely fantastic experience. Their knowledge of the Whitsundays, Whitehaven Beach & the surrounds were valuable & made the trip more interesting. The refreshments, scones brownies & delicious lunch were perfect too. Thank you.. I will certainly do this trip again, next time I return to Australia. The sailing boat & its history was very good too.
Excellent day out
