Imagine charting your own course through crystal-clear waters, relaxing on secluded beaches, and exploring the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park—all with a crew of your choice. Welcome to bareboating in The Whitsundays, an adventure that offers unparalleled freedom to experience one of Australia's most breathtaking regions.
Bareboating involves hiring a fully equipped, self-contained boat—either a yacht or a catamaran—and operating it yourself with your friends or family as your crew. Experience the ultimate freedom as the captain of your voyage.
A common question is whether a boating licence is required to bareboat in The Whitsundays. Unlike other parts of the world, no formal licence is needed. Charter companies offer comprehensive briefings at the start of your trip and you can contact the mainland by radio during your journey. As long as you show basic boating knowledge and a willingness to learn, you’re ready to embark on an unforgettable journey.
Bareboating in The Whitsundays allows you to explore our 74 stunning islands free from set itineraries so you can chart your own course and set your own pace. This flexibility enables access to secluded locations, hidden coves, and lesser-known areas that larger tour groups can't reach. You can customise your adventure based on your interests—whether it’s snorkelling, hiking, or simply relaxing.
