ECOTOURISM
According to The International Ecotourism Society, ecotourism is defined as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the wellbeing of local people.”
Ecotourism is important to us at Queensland Yacht Charters, and in fact, we are a certified Ecotourism Company. Ecotourism is alive and well in the Whitsundays.
THE NGARO PEOPLE OF THE WHITSUNDAYS

Skipper Your Own Yacht
No license is required for a Yacht Charter in the Whitsundays,
unlike other locations Worldwide, however some experience is essential.
To charter a sailing vessel, you will need to have sailing experience and be competent in handling a sailing vessel in most conditions.
On the morning of your Charter we do a comprehensive boat and area briefing and if you feel that you are not comfortable captaining your own ship, we are happy to arrange for a Sail Guide for your Charter.
If you wish to do nothing at all on your holiday, and leave the work to us, we can also arrange a hostess/cook and crew.

Our Favourite Anchorages
Setting sail amidst the pristine waterways of the Whitsunday Island is a dream come true … glorious days of calm, clear waters where each island presents a new experience. The Whitsunday Islands have enough anchorages to keep you busy for months of happy sailing! We have highlighted some of our favourites so you can include some on your itinerary, many with recommended snorkelling sites either at your anchorage or just a short dinghy ride away. The enjoyment and safety of people coming to the Whitsundays remains front of mind for our industry and we encourage all people entering the water to be vigilant and take the necessary safety precautions, such as not entering the water at night, dawn or dusk, not to swim alone, not to swim in murky water or not to swim near schools of fish or where fish are being cleaned.
