You might enjoy 'window-shopping' at the Club Marine Melbourne Boat Show, but with Sunsail you don’t need to spend much to make a sailing holiday a reality.

With over 40 yachts based from Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays you can be on a direct Jetstar flight and out on your bareboat charter on the same day. Just think, from 12C average Melbourne winter temperature to an average 23C (June – August) within three hours! And not only that, the Whitsundays are renowned for their awe-inspiring beauty, crystal clear water, dazzling deserted beaches and easy line-of sight sailing.


'The beauty of sailing the Whitsundays is that it’s easy to get to, the sea and landscapes are beautiful and with an abundance of Marine Park moorings it’s simple to pull up each night at another stunning location' says Sunsail Marketing Manager Kim McKee. 'If you don’t have the confidence to charter a bareboat we also have Luxury Crewed Cruises on an eight berth, 46 foot catamaran where we do all the sailing work and you just get to laze around and enjoy the trip and gourmet provisioning.'

With Sunsail bases in over 36 locations around the world, Sunsail Australia can book you to your dream sailing destination right from their stand at the Melbourne Boat Show. The global reservation system can book your next sailing holiday in Tahiti, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. Wouldn’t we all love to say, 'James, Tahiti sounds nice…'


If you don’t have the first idea about sailing you can even take a 'Learn to Sail' holiday in either the Whitsundays or Phuket, Thailand and combine your holiday with Sunsail’s RYA Competent Crew Course. With prices starting at $1200 per person for 5 days this is without doubt one of the most affordable and fun ways to experience the magic of sailing with experienced instructors in dream locations.

Sunsail is the world’s leading sailing holiday company with more than 1,000 yachts in 19 countries and 36 cruising destinations, including the Whitsundays, Thailand, Tahiti, the Seychelles and Vietnam in the Asia Pacific region. The company offers an extensive range of sailing holiday products including bareboat and crewed yacht charters, Sailing Schools, racing regattas and social rallies, Watersports Beach Clubs, riverboat holidays and much more.
