2 Day & 2 Night Whitsunday Sailing Adventure on Hammer

About this tour

Spend three days sailing the Whitsunday Islands aboard Hammer, a maxi yacht crewed by seasoned sailors who know where the best reefs and anchorages are. You'll wake up at Whitehaven Beach, dive into turquoise water thick with fish, and eat proper meals cooked onboard. It's for people who want sailing that feels real—rigging up, learning the ropes, salt spray included—not a floating hotel. Two nights in a cabin, three crew members, all meals and snorkel gear sorted.

Highlights

• Anchor at world-renowned Whitehaven Beach
• Snorkel pristine coral reefs with full gear supplied
• Hands-on sailing with experienced crew instruction
• Sleep aboard Hammer in comfortable cabin berths
• All meals prepared fresh onboard daily
• Small group sailing for genuine camaraderie
• Reef and island exploration between passages

What to expect

You'll board Hammer and meet your three-person crew, who'll brief you on safety and how to help manage the yacht. Depending on wind and conditions, you might trim sails or simply watch the Whitsundays unfold. Days split between sailing to new anchorages and time in the water—snorkelling gear is yours to use. Mornings mean coffee on deck; lunches and dinners are communal affairs with other guests. Nights you'll sleep in your cabin as the boat rocks gently. This isn't luxury cruising; it's real sailing with genuine crew who enjoy what they do and cook better than most galley kitchens manage.

Good to know

Bring your own alcohol if you want it (no glass or red wine allowed). The boat suits all fitness levels but involves some climbing and movement. Dietary needs—vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free—just flag them when booking. Public transport reaches the departure point; transfers aren't included. Under-18s possible by request.
