Description

Sail through turquoise waters and lush islands aboard the legendary racing yacht Matador. Relax on deck or participate by helping the crew hoist sails. Visit world-class snorkeling sites on the Great Barrier Reef’s fringing reefs, swimming among vibrant coral gardens and diverse marine life.

Stop at Hill Inlet Lookout for views of Whitehaven Beach’s swirling sands. Onboard, enjoy freshly prepared meals featuring local produce, crisp salads, fresh fruit, and a hearty pasta dinner. Watch the sunset transform the sky as you sip a cool drink and later stargaze under the clear Whitsundays night sky.
