Mobile ticket

If you've got limited time to make friends and visit the Whitsunday icons, Siska is the boat for you. This Australian built ex-Ocean Racing Maxi has a few nautical miles under her belt. But this hasn't stopped her from continuing to provide amazing tours of the Whitsundays!

She's one of the most loved Maxi yachts here, maybe because of her striking red hull against the blue Whitsunday Water, granting her the nickname 'Sexy Siska'! With a particularly roomy interior, there is ample seating and spaces for socialising in.

Visit the must see Whitsunday Islands icons: Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout via a guided bush walk, and snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Siska operates on odd days of the month. (i.e. 7th, 19th etc). You have the option of booking either a single bunk or half of a double bunk.

Soo happy we came on this boat! We had the best experience. The crew are all super lovely. Big shout out to Zac in particular for constantly bringing big, fun energy and providing good tunes throughout. All the guys worked very hard to make sure everyone was happy! They took us to some great spots, the beach on the second day for lunch was stunning and the snorkelling was great too. Defo recommend this boat to everyone.

The whitsundays cruise was the last thing on my bucket list for my solo travels in Australia and I'm so glad I booked with the siska boat. The crew were amazing and looked after us very well, set up the right environment to have fun and enjoy the beautiful sights here. Although there's tons of boats to choose from, this one was the perfect sweet spot of time and exploration on the whitsundays for me. Waking up on the deck to watch the sunrise is an unforgettable memory. A beach day, a short walk to a stunning viewpoint, snorkeling, sunbathing, food (and byo alcohol :)) and good chats with strangers that became friends just made my experience better. Definately worth it :)
Great time with the crew and colleagues beautiful cruise I recommend

This 2-day, 1-night cruise was an absolute disaster. For over AUD 400, we got filthy conditions, everyone forced to walk barefoot even though one passenger had a visible fungal infection. The “amazing food” they advertised was just bolognese pasta and basic sandwiches. The staff were rude, careless, and completely unprofessional. One of them even told my friend — who has darker skin — “you have a black hole,” which was blatantly racist and misogynistic. They also carried out what looked like illegal fishing, killing fish they clearly weren’t supposed to catch and throwing them back into the water. Worst of all, a staff member (Floyd) dropped my phone into the ocean and didn’t apologize, didn’t try to help, nothing. The captain didn’t care either. Be careful because you signed that you agree with the fact that they don’t take responsibility of this. Total scam. Unsafe, unhygienic, disrespectful. Do not book this.

Well organized experience. We were about 25 people, the sleeping bunks are small but tidy and clean. Experienced staff, delicious food both meals and snacks. We snorkeled in three different areas and the next day we went to the wonderful whiteheven beach
