The Whitsundays to Yourself
A private charter dedicates a boat and crew exclusively to your group — the itinerary, the timing, the islands visited, and the pace are yours. Private charters range from luxury motor yachts and sailing catamarans to smaller speedboats and tenders, and the format unlocks the Whitsundays’ quieter anchorages, the less-visited beaches, and the snorkelling sites that the group tours’ fixed schedules do not reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private Whitsunday charter cost?
Day charters: approximately AUD 1,500–5,000+ depending on the vessel, the crew, and the inclusions. Multi-day charters: significantly higher (AUD 3,000–10,000+ per day for luxury vessels). The cost is per charter, not per person — groups split it.
Is a private charter worth it?
For groups of 4+ who can split the cost, couples celebrating a special occasion, or families who want flexible pacing and privacy — yes. For solo travellers and budget-conscious visitors, the group sailing and day tours provide excellent Whitsunday coverage.
