I cannot say enough positive things about Whitsunday Escape. I took my family (wife and 2 kids - 6 and 4 years old) on a 7 night adventure that created memories that will last a life time. We traveled from New York to visit the Whitsundays and all while choosing the correct boat (Tiger Lilly - 40ft power cat), the staff at WE were extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Everything was arranged and now all we had to do was get there. We traveled for 32 hours but finally made it and the welcome was overwhelming. They understood we were tired, the boat was moored close by in the Marina, the boat was in A1 condition and everything was perfect, even the weather was perfect. The next day at 7.30am our provisions arrived, all to the exact match of what we had ordered. Our trainer or expert, also known as Shano, came on board at 8am to give us our overview - he was patient, understanding of the kids and filled us with confidence that we could drive the boat, navigate the islands and have an amazing experience. Each day was filled with new adventures that you just don't see by going to any resort on earth and believe me, we have been to a fair few around the world. At the end, all was perfect, we had a great time, experienced the boating life and will never look back. We can't wait to go again. So much so that we are recommending this to all our friends, some of which have already booked their 2018 trip - which i am sure will be perfect. Keep up the great work Whitsunday Escape.

“Awesome Sailing Adventures with Whitsunday Escape on HAPPY CAT!”
Thanks Whitsunday Escape for another AMAZING holiday aboard the Seawind 1160 4 Cab Happy Cat! The boat was brilliant, comfortably accommodating our family including small kids, perfect for exploring the best the Whitsundays has to offer, the weather turned it on for us and as always the booking team, briefing crew and support whilst we were off adventuring was first class. We'll be back again soon for more fun on Happy Cat very soon!
First time bareboaters. We were very impressed by the pre-trip communication and information and the thorough briefing on the first day. The boat (Leopard 42) was well fitted out and perfect for our family. We had a great week and plan to do it again with WE. Thanks
Whitsunday escape made the whole process very smooth and easy. Very useful website and staff made the boat I chose the right choice. I cruised the beautiful Whitsundays for just over a week and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and marine life. Lots to do and see and ideal if you’re into stand up paddle boarding, diving or snorkeling. The boat itself I used was the Seawind 1160 – 4 it had 4 cabins and 2 showers on board and was spacious enough for the size of the group that we had. Good cooking facilities and space up on deck was also nice as we cruised through the islands. I would highly recommend this boat and company when wanting to experience the Whitsundays on the sea with family or friends.
Whitsunday Escape made our holiday very enjoyable. They are diligent, friendly, well organised and very helpful. They have a great range of boats and our boat a new Nautitech Open 40 was perfect for the family with heaps of room especially in the cockpit. We will certainly charter this boat again.
We spent 7 nights on Much Karma which is a 35 foot clipper in November. The boat was spacious for 4 people and easy to operate.The boat was clean and in great condition The flybridge was a great area to relax We enjoyed snorkelling at Blue Pearl Bay, Butterfly Bay and Daydream Island. A must for all tourists is to visit Whitehaven Beach and walk to the lookout.We also recommend that you hire SUPs which are kayaks and stand up paddleboards
I was recently lucky enough to go sailing around the Whitsunday Islands for 10 glorious days on the yacht 'Chirping Bird', a Beneteau Cyclades 43.3. It is a luxurious yacht, with lots of room, a well equipped kitchen, deep freeze and plenty of cupboard space. A barbecue on deck was used most nights for dinner whilst taking in the beautiful sunsets! We had lots of fun sailing around the islands, along with swimming, snorkelling, fishing and walking along the secluded beaches, admiring the spectacular, beautiful scenery and crystal clear waters.
Lazy days mean you can lie back with a book, and a glass of wine or throw a line overboard to catch a fresh fish for dinner!
It was the perfect getaway, and I would definitely go again.
Whitsunday Escape were most helpful and gave us all the assistance we required.
I give this yacht and the holiday destination 5 stars. What an adventure!
We spent a week exploring the different islands. I had no idea how lovely it would be! I was expecting the Whitsundays to be overrun with tourists, so I guess one of the beauties of yachting is being able to escape the hordes. The reef was also in much better condition than I expected considering all the media around coral bleaching, so we did some great snorkeling and saw loads of different types of fish. We also saw dolphins playing near the bow of the yacht and went ashore several times for nice beach and forest walks. Whitsunday Escape were brilliant with daily radio contact and helpful advice on moorings etc. The catamaran 'Eviota' had a great layout for our extended family group with spacious inside and outside communal areas but 4 comfortable and private cabins. The kitchen layout also made it really easy to use.
