We found paradise in the Whitsundays. Right in the Heart of the Great Barrier Reef is a group of 74 islands that make up the Whitsundays. This area is known for its incredible snorkelling, pristine beaches, and sailing! So if you’re looking for the perfect tropical vacation, this is it!

Most of the Whitsunday Islands are uninhabited national parks making them spectacularly pristine. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, rainforests, safe waters and abundant marine life make The Whitsundays one of the best sailing destinations in the world.

David and Carolyn Colfelt are among the Whitsundays’ original bareboat charterers. 

After the long North Queensland summer comes the absolute pinnacle of living in the tropics! WINTER! Beautiful sunny mild days, slightly cooler nights. As winter rolls around every year and we listen to the news reports of freezing southern temps, we smugly enjoy PERFECT winter weather!
