COMFORT

Sailing may not afford quite as much room space as a hotel on land, but this does not for a moment mean that it compromises comfort. The majority of vessels that depart from Airlie Beach to the Whitsundays are made to travel with large or small groups in a pleasant way.

Wings II and Wings III have air-conditioned, spacious cabins and comfortable single and double beds, unlimited drinking water, front deck spas and more amazing features. Catamarans are wonderful for family cruising as they are steady in the water and with lots of inside space.

Lay back on our cushioned areas and enjoy the breeze of the ocean while we sail through the Whitsundays passages.
