Get ready for the ultimate high-speed sailing adventure aboard Avatar, the only trimaran charter in the Whitsundays and one of the fastest, most high-tech racing yachts in Australia. This 2-day, 2-night experience blends adrenaline, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable moments, taking you deep into the heart of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
An Epic Whitsundays Itinerary
Set sail from Airlie Beach, feeling the wind in your hair as Avatar glides effortlessly over turquoise waters. Visit the world-famous Whitehaven Beach, where you’ll walk on pure silica sands and hike to the iconic Hill Inlet Lookout for a jaw-dropping aerial view of the swirling sands below.
Sail past Hook Island, Hayman Island, Border Island, and Whitsunday Island, potentially stopping at some of the following snorkeling sites in the region, such as Luncheon Bay, Caves Cove, and Blue Pearl Bay—plus secret locations the crew will select based on conditions. Swim among thriving coral gardens, spot giant clams, tropical fish, and sea turtles, and immerse yourself in the untouched beauty of the Great Barrier Reef’s fringing reefs.
Fast-Paced Sailing or Pure Relaxation—You Choose!
For those who love hands-on adventure, you can help hoist the sails, and experience the thrill of real sailing as Avatar cuts through the water with unmatched speed. Or, if relaxation is more your style, stretch out on the spacious nets, soak up the sun, and take in the breathtaking island views.
Incredible Nights Under the Stars
When the sun sets, the magic continues. Avatar's underwater blue lights attract marine life for a unique after-dark viewing experience, while above deck, the Whitsundays’ star-filled sky offers some of the best stargazing on the planet. Watch the Milky Way stretch across the night sky, free from city lights, as the waves gently lap against the hull.
Delicious Meals & Social Vibes
Fuel your adventure with freshly prepared meals made by the friendly crew, with favorites like spaghetti bolognese, beef tacos, fresh meats, crisp salads, homemade bread, dips, crackers, and plenty more. Dietary requirements? No worries—all dietaries are catered for. Enjoy great food, good company, and the best sailing playlist in the Whitsundays as you make lifelong friends with fellow adventurers.
Please Note: The tour is estimated to return between 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM on the final day, but times may vary due to weather, tides, and tendering logistics.

We can't order sunshine every day unfortunately, but we do have great crew that look after you while onboard no matter the weather!

Fabulous - Will be going again
I took my 19 year old son for a few nights and we had such a great time. The crew were super chilled and friendly and had a great taste in music on the playlist. Food was excellent and nothing bad to say. This is the only way to do a few overnights out of Airlie. All other boats are second class experience compared to Avatar. Side note. I did this trip almost 20 years ago when the boat was near new and so was I. It is still in great shape and I am not leaving it another 20 years to go again.

Nightmare
The boat is terrible! Not designed for the amount of passengers. The “privet” rooms are old storage rooms turned in to beds that you don’t get any air and fill suffocated. The crew and the boat are not prepared for rain weather. The captain super grumpy. All the passengers that were in the boat didn’t sleep in the first night for the heat and humidity inside except for the crew that had aircon and fans. The 25 that were in the boat ask to go back to Airlie Beach after the first night, we didn’t finish the experience. Was terrible super disappointing.

Hi Carlos, Firstly I would like to apologise for your experience onboard our Avatar Vessel. Unfortunately, this time of the year we do experience heavy rain and humidity. We are however always looking for ways to improve our service and require honest feedback to do so. We have taken onboard all your feedback and are currently in the process of of arranging a cover/shade sail for the deck as shelter for both rainy and sunny days, we are also in the processed of looking at options to cool down our sleeping quarters. Thanks, OzSail Team

Cool but there is room for improvement
I must say the boat is pretty cool, very stable, spacious (except for the boots) but overall it was a nice experience, I think we were lucky with the group of people we have travelled with, happy and party people but moderate and respectful! What I think the tour lacked a bit was the crew education and participation in it. There was no initial brief of what the plan for the two days was; no-one a part from the capitan was knowledgeble about the areas we were sailing through and let alone wanted to tell you a bit about what to expect... or anything, such as marine life, coral life, dangerous species... anything.. it was like the crew were just people like us hosted on a boat led by no-one.. Again, I like it the route itself and the boat, but it could have been done much better and much more personalised, specially with the amount of information could be provided in this area of the world, so peculiar and so different from all the rest.

No sun needed for the perfect sailing trip
Had a super fun time at the Avatar! Even if we weren‘t lucky with the sunshine, the crew brings you to places that seem just too beautiful to be real. Snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef, we saw hundreds of colourful fish, sea turtles, stingrays and at night even sharks underneath the boat. Other than that, the atmosphere was great and the food delicious. Have fun!
