Wings catamarans were specially designed to sail in the Whitsundays Islands North Queensland, Australia. Their size, stability, spacious areas, amazing features and privacy, makes them perfect for private holidays or special events celebrations in Airlie Beach & the Whitsundays Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.
Unlike catamarans bareboats, Wings’ private charters are all-inclusive. This means that an experienced skipper will be in charge of driving the boat and a friendly host will take care of you and your group. All meals are included, from breakfast and lunch to sunset snacks and dinner. The goal is that guests lay back and enjoy an amazing experience sailing around one of the most beautiful places in the world, without the need to stress about anything else.
Discover why catamarans (multihull), rather than monohulls, are the best option for a sailing family holiday in the Whitsundays.

BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN THE WHITSUNDAYS ISLANDS:
WHITEHAVEN BEACH (WHITSUNDAYS ISLAND)
It is not news that Whitehaven Beach is ranked as the most beautiful beach in the world and we are honestly not surprised that it is number one. We get amused by its natural beauty every time we go there.
When you spend the night on a Wings cat, you literally wake up in paradise. The advantage of an overnight private charter is that you can arrive before the crowds and day tours to Whitehaven Beach and enjoy the white sand and crystal clear water just with your loved ones.
HILL INLET LOOKOUT (WHITSUNDAYS ISLAND)
This is where the classic picture of the Whitsundays Islands is taken, and it is totally worth it. There is no scenic view similar to the one offered by Hill Inlet Lookout. Arrive at the top after a pleasant bushwalk through the rainforest and let the view take your breath away.
The lookout is located only 1.3km away from the shore, where the boat will leave you, and the effort will be rewarding. As the tide shifts, the white sands and turquoise waters will make a magic effect never seen before in any other part of the world.
MANTA-RAY BAY (HOOK ISLAND)
Thanks to its crystal waters and other natural conditions, Mantaray Bay is the spot to go if you want to have one of the best snorkelling experiences in the area. Here is where George, the giant Maori Wrasse, lives and where friendly marine life become close to snorkellers.
Early mornings are probably the best time to go there, when no one is around, so you can take advantage of being the only humans around!
LANGFORD ISLAND
Imagine sunbathing or having a picnic in the middle of the turquoise ocean, on a tiny beach that only appears at low tide. Well, this is completely normal at Langford Island.
The small and uninhabited island near Hayman Island features a long sand spit that disappears when the sea reaches its highest level. This secluded spot is very popular among snorkelers, paddlers and divers as the island is also home to a stunning coral reef.
