Recommended Destinations:

• Peel Island/Horseshoe Bay and North Stradbroke are great destinations, and sailing routes. Peel Island has a great anchorage, and protected areas to swim and a lovely remote white sandy beach. Reachable in approx 2.5 hours from Manly Harbour, the sourhern end of Moreton Bay provides protected sailing grounds!
• Big Sandhills (Moreton Island) is 16nmi (30km) approx 3 hr sail, and is a great anchorage in SE winds, and a beautiful white sandy beach.  Try your hand at sandboarding on the 80m high dunes! (BYO Sandboard!)

What does Bareboating cost?

The larger your group and the longer you spend on the water, the less it costs per person! From as little as $75/person, you can have a great family day out on your private charter, on your private beach in Moreton Bay!

 How to choose a boat:

We’d be pleased to help you choose the best vessel for you! Whether you want to test your skills to sail as fast as you can in a monohull, and experience the excitement as it leans under sail, or a more relaxing catamaran with a little extra space, and your champagne remains safely on the level saloon table – from comfortable essentials to luxury, we have a vessel for you!

Experience Requirements:

• Millenium Cat: Coastal or at least Inshore Skippers and experience in catamaran sailing.
• Aristocat: Coastal Skipper Certificate

If you are interested in sailtraining, we’d be pleased to make some recommendations! Please send us an email and we’ll send you more details!

If you think that you'd prefer your own vessel but dont quite have the experience required, we would recommend a motor vessel or even houseboat for your holiday - availabile from the Gold Coast!  Click here!
