Ileola - 3 Day / 2 Night

Located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday region is truly a sailor's paradise with 74 islands offering endless shelter and snug overnight anchorages. No two trips are alike as you sail from one idyllic island hideaway to the next.

The Whitsunday Islands are truly a remarkable natural wonder with excellent waterways, fringing coral reefs, and an abundance of marine animals and bird life. All this with the world famous backdrop of crystal blue waters, deep green foliage on the islands, and spectacular crimson sunsets.

Ileola is a 60-foot, three-masted schooner with plenty of history and character. She was designed by Sir Francis Herreshoff in 1936 and professionally built in Geelong in 1952 by Kauri.

Ileola's design offers a great living area with the option of single or double beds in private and semi-private cabins. She has a huge saloon and large comfortable deck space.
