Windjammer - 3 & 6 Night Cruises

For a Whitsunday Island cruise to remember join Windjammer, a 72' gaff rigged schooner designed along the lines of the trading and fishing schooners that worked the Grand Banks in the North Atlantic and plied the east coats of America for 200 years.

Launched in 1994, Windjammer is considered to be one of the most beautiful yachts ever to be built in Australia.

The large uncluttered decks are ideal for soaking up the warm tropical sunshine. The comfortable lounge area on deck is perfect for alfresco dining or just curling up with your favourite book. Good food is an essential ingredient for the enjoyment of any cruise.

Windjammer is fully crewed with a captain, cook/hostess and deckhand, however guests are encouraged to take the wheel, tend the sheets, or for the more adventurous, climb the ratlines and fine tune the canvas 70 feet above the deck. Whether it's an active or relaxing holiday you're after, the professional attentive crew will ensure you enjoy a memorable Whitsunday Island holiday.

Accommodation

Windjammer offers a stateroom with queen size bed, double & twin cabin accommodation. [floorplan]
