With only 24 people capacity, it’s one of the friendliest and most social boats on the Whitsundays. From checking in, to anchoring up, each step of the way is carefully thought out to give you the best experience possible. The crew are sure to help you see the best Whitsundays has to offer. You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in a thrilling Banana Boat ride. En route, you’ll also have plenty of time to explore the underwater world and amazing snorkelling destinations.
Remember, this boat is a really stable catamaran with tons of deck space. It’s not going to be an exhilarating fast boat, so it’s perfect for those wanting to take it real easy and enjoy the ride. It’s BYO too so make sure you pack a few cold ones for the trip to enjoy at sunset.
