Siska - 2 day 1 Night - Maxi Sailing Tour of the Whitsundays
Overview

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.

5.00Amazing experience from start to finish. The trip was so well organised, amazing food and we really felt well looked after. Toilet facilities had even a little shower included for a quick rinse off after snorkelling. Shout out to the whole crew, especially to Scottie who was our guide, Michelin star chef and boat bestie.
Amazing trip

5.00We had a great time on the boat! Although we were worried about the weather, we fell lucky! Although, even if it had been raining I’m sure the team would’ve made it a great time! All 3 of the staff were accommodating and friendly! Caine was friendly and chatty and Matty was lively and kept the mood high. Scotty was so attentive and caring towards all people on the boat, he truly took an interest in each of us. If highly recommended this trip!
Good Vibes and Great Crew

Rude Skippers

1.00Definitely not worth the price, boat is very dated, could easily find a higher standard boat for the same price. Scotty is amazing, friendly and so caring, Kane and Floyd not so much. Kane was rude, aggressive and continuously shouted at the other two making them look inadequate at their job. He needs to retire and Floyd needs to improve his attitude. Wouldn’t go with this company again.
Amazing experience with Siska Sailing!

5.00As a solo traveller, the siska Whitsundays tour did not disappoint. Captain Matty and deck crew Floyd, scotty and zeke made me feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment I stepped onboard. We snorkelled 3 times and the crew were so helpful with guiding the snorkels. The food was amazing! For a boat tour I wasn’t expecting much but they all really put in the effort for good meals. Although the boat can get hot at night, the beds are fairly spacious for a boat of its size. Scotty in particular was soso helpful and caring, as a young solo traveller this made me feel very at ease. As a whole this tour really captured the beauty of the whitsunday islands and has a really community feel! Plus matty will never forget your name :)
Unreal experience, highly recommend!

5.00I did the Siska trip with my fiancé and our friends and we absolutely loved it! We got incredible weather and a really nice crew which made it even better. The captain Matty was brilliant and showed us some amazing spots in the Whitsundays. The food was good and overall the experience was relaxed which was exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a night on a boat in the Whitsundays I would really recommend doing Siska!
Perfectly organized trip to Whitsundays - fantastic experience with a great crew!

5.00The two-day sailing trip was really well organized and the crew was all the time doing its best that everyone felt well and all needs were satisfied! Cpt. Bones and Matt showed a lot of experience and gave valuable tips for each location, e.g. Snorkeling and the whole crew shared a fantastic sense of humor and vibe. Especially the taste of music of Floyd (deck crew) and his cooking skills for Spaghetti Bolognese were outstanding! I can only warmly recommend to also make the experience!
