Prosail Whitsundays

Experience a sailing tour like no other! From our 3 day Whitsunday Cruises to our 5-day charters, Prosail Whitsundays includes a fun and friendly crew, as well as a high specification of boat presentation, equipment and service, freshly prepared meals, fresh linen, sincere friendliness plus all yachts, are Eco Accredited.

Watch the crew hoist the sails, grind on the winches and helm the yacht while you relax and experience the fascination of the Whitsundays Islands and its rich ocean life.

Your sailing voyage commences the moment you step aboard one of our sailing maxi sailboats departing for Coral Sea Marina, Airlie Beach – the gateway to our Tropical Islands and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. These famous 74 Islands are made up of coral reefs, lush rainforest, velvet green covered peaks and unoccupied islands shimmering in an azure sea and all concentrated into a range of only 100 nautical miles.

You will sail past the many islands as our experienced crew navigate from the helm, snorkel spectacular coral reefs, laze on the world’s best beaches and personally meet an overwhelming array of sea life.

The crown jewel for the Whitsunday Islands is Whitehaven Beach. Made from 98% silica sand this 7km long beach is situated on the southeastern side of Whitsunday Island.

With Prosail Whitsundays you will navigate from Airlie Beach to this iconic white beach. You will get to walk on the natural cool sand and play in crystal clear waters; we also visit Hill Inlet Lookout, a viewing platform. This walking track is accessible from Tongue Bay and takes around 15 minutes to trek to the viewing platform.

Our Sailing Tours pride themselves on spending maximum time on Whitehaven Beach. Each tour spends at least 4-5 hours exploring the beach, viewing platform and stunning inlet. Our friendly tour guides are always there to answer questions and show you the best the beach has to offer.

In February 2018 well-known adventure sailing company Prosail Whitsundays was taken over by two young local sailors Tommy Gallagher and Josh Wilde.

Two great mates who worked their way up the ranks in the industry, starting out as hosts cooking the meals, on to deckhands trimming the sails and then navigating as certified skippers. They now have almost 19 years’ experience in this style of product between them and are the newest and youngest operators in the area.

Together with their awesome team, their aim is to offer the best overnight experience in the Whitsundays.

“Our knowledge of the Whitsundays, the industry and these epic sailing maxi yachts means we actually know what does and doesn’t work out there, we really care about the quality of our tours and do everything we can to make sure every passenger who steps on board is having the best time possible”

We are a young and fun company that really does care about what we do!  Our trips are aimed at adventurous and fun travellers generally 18-45 years old looking for a REAL sailing cruise.

Ever been sailing before?? That’s no problem – we will show you how it’s done with the best crew in the Whitsundays! Our private charter options include up to 7 day Whitsunday cruises

We have three 24 metre ex-racing maxi yachts that have been converted to live-aboard which really makes for a super unique way to travel and stay around the amazing Whitsunday Islands. Accommodation is in dormitory-style bunks – it’s not a luxury hotel but it is comfortable and unique. Have you ever slept on a racing boat surrounded by 74 islands?

Each boat has toilets, hot showers and even a kitchen where the crew prepare all your fresh meals on board. Some say it’s the best food in the Whitsundays and we cater to all diets at no extra cost. We have also recently finished refurbishments on all three vessels.
