Imagine sailing under a canopy of stars, waking to a spectacular sunrise, and spending your days exploring the stunning Whitsunday Islands. If this sounds like your adventure, here’s your guide to overnight voyages in Airlie Beach.
1. Choosing Your Boat
From budget-friendly backpacker yachts to high-end luxury catamarans, there’s a range of options. Pick a vessel that suits your budget, comfort level, and preferred group size.
2. Planning the Route
While most overnight voyages cover popular spots like Whitehaven Beach and various snorkelling locations, feel free to express interest in less-visited places. Your skipper might have hidden gems to recommend.
3. Meal Planning
Meals are usually part of the package in overnight voyages. Inform the crew about any dietary restrictions so they can cater to your needs.
4. Packing Essentials
Pack light. Bring swimwear, a towel, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable clothing, and any personal medication. Most boats provide snorkelling gear and stinger suits.
5. Star Gazing
One of the unique joys of an overnight voyage is the opportunity to gaze at the clear, star-spangled sky far from any light pollution. For a celestial treat, bring a star map or a star-gazing app.
6. Capture the Moment
Bring a waterproof camera to capture the beautiful memories above and below the water.
7. Respect the Environment
Follow a ‘leave no trace’ policy. Ensure not to throw anything overboard, and be respectful of marine life.
8. Enjoy and Relax!
Whether swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing or simply enjoying the sea breeze, enjoy every moment of your voyage.
