Whitsunday Rent a Yacht - Motor Cruisers

Whitsunday Rent A Yacht have an extensive range for bareboat charters. All boats are easy to operate and with the comprehensive briefing procedure almost anyone can confidently skipper any of our power boats through the Whitsunday Islands.

The power boats are ideal for fishing, diving or just cruising in style through the Islands. As with all the vessels, the power boats are comprehensively fitted out with all those necessary comforts including large refrigerators, ample water capacity and big shower areas. When you choose one of the power boats you choose from some of Australia's most respected manufacturers including Scimitar, Fairway and Venturer.

So if you prefer to cruise the Whitsundays in straight lines and don't like to wait around why not hire a power boat!

Additional Information

How Much Experience: If you can drive a car, you'll certainly be able to drive a motor boat. No licence is required to take a Skipper Yourself Boating Holiday. To sail a yacht or catamaran, you will need some experience at the helm of a yacht, big or small. A little general boating experience is usually enough for Whitsunday Rent-A-Yacht to teach you to operate a motor cruiser during your briefing. For those who are unsure of their skills or a little rusty they offer the services of a qualified sail guide to help you get started.

Trip Preparation: On arrival at the charter base you will be introduced to your sail briefer. He or she will give you a thorough overview of all aspects of the operation of the vessel both below and above decks. Next comes a very comprehensive Familiarisation on all aspects of navigating through the islands, weather conditions and suitable anchorages. This is also a good time to enquire about any specific interests you may have (diving/fishing locations, walking tracks, island resorts to visit, etc.). Finally you will be taken for a sail to see that you are fully conversant and confident with the operation of your vessel. The briefer are all qualified and are happy to provide your crew with plenty of sailing and boat handling tips and training. Your vessel briefing normally takes around 3 hours.

Provisioning the Vessel: You may choose to supply your own provisions, although a provisioning company can do this for you, catering from gourmet delights to children's meals. Whitsunday Rent A Yacht chooses the award-winning Whitsunday Provisioning to look after provisioning.
