HOW TO GET TO QUEENSLAND YACHT CHARTERS:

HOW TO GET TO QUEENSLAND YACHT CHARTERS:

Queensland Yacht Charters are based in Abel Point Marina, Airlie Beach which is easily accessible via Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) airport and Hamilton Island. Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) airport is recommended as the most convenient airport. We recommend you arrive the day prior to your charter and overnight in Airlie Beach or take the half price Sleepaboard option on your vessel if available. We can arrange transfers to our base or accommodation in Airlie Beach (refer Getting to QYC). The travelling time is approximately 30 minutes. We like to start your briefing early on the first day of charter with an aim to having you on the water by lunchtime. If driving, there is parking available in the public carpark at the marina for $8.00 per day. Alternatively, lock up secure storage is available from $100.00 for a 5 night booking.

CHARTER START / FINISH:

We can deliver the vessel to Hamilton Island so that you may start and finish your charter from there. A delivery fee would apply which is currently $570.00 for a return start/finish. The vessel will arrive to Hamilton Island around midday. Please note, this option is strictly subject to availability and advance notice is required. Prices are also subject to change at anytime. Alternatively, we can book on your behalf a Resort Connection ferry straight from the HTI Airport marina to Abel Point Marina (QYC Base). See Cruise Whitsundays

Your charter can start and finish on any day of the week except Christmas Day and New Years Day. Check-ins and briefings are at 9.00am unless you have a sleep aboard when the check-in is 4.00 pm. Boats must be returned by 10.00am or later by arrangement. An extensive briefing follows check-in, taking in navigation, anchoring, safety and practical boat handling. On board you will find charts, navigation aids and cruising guide "100 Magic Miles of the Great Barrier Reef" by David Colfelt.

HALF PRICE SLEEPABOARDS:

Arriving late in the day? Then ask our Reservations Team if you can take advantage of our Half Price Sleepaboard option. Boarding time is 4pm (or earlier if available) with a quick boat brief taking place at this time, followed by the full briefing the following day. The sleepaboard option is not available for charters commencing from Hamilton Island and is on request only, subject to availability.

CHARTER EXPERIENCE:

To charter a sailing vessel, you will need to have sailing experience and be competent in handling a sailing vessel in most conditions. Alternatively, if you have power boating experience only, then we may have a power vessel to suit and we would recommend this option. Basic Navigation skills, along with anchoring and sail reefing are also minimum requirements. Formal qualifications are not required to charter most of our vessels (excluding the Fountaine Pajot 46 Power cat), although it is highly regarded if you do. A sailguide can be hired for a half day or a full day or more if needed from $190.00. This will assist you in brushing up on your current skills and gain hands on experience for your vessel under guidance. We do provide a high level of support throughout your charter with a pre charter kit sent out once a deposit is paid, comprehensive briefings, 24 hour radio and mobile phone contact and chase boat call outs.
