Great Barrier Reef Private Yacht Charters

The world’s largest and healthiest coral reef system is one of the seven wonders of the world. World Heritage-listed in 1981, it is a National Marine Park stretching 2,000kms from Heron Island on the Tropic of Capricorn to the northern most tip of Cape York.

Days are spent cruising and exploring the Reef, stopping in secluded island bays to step ashore on beaches where the only footprints are your own, or anchoring at the outer edge of the Continental Shelf for superior diving and snorkelling in warm, crystal waters where visibility is consistently superb.

The sunlit waters are home to coral structures reflecting a kaleidoscope of colour, hosting a myriad of psychedelic coloured fish with fanciful names such as angels, parrotfish, clowns, damsels and butterflies.

There are unforgettable encounters with majestic manta rays, shy reef sharks, nesting turtles, migrating whales, and pods of dolphins who delight in riding the bow wave of Mustique, nudging each other out of the way in their playful exuberance.

Favourite stopovers on a Great Barrier Reef voyage include, but are not limited to, Fraser Island, Hervey Bay, Lady Musgrave Island, The Capricorn Group, Heron Island (famed for its nesting turtles), North West Island, The Percy Isles (one of the great undiscovered gems of the Reef!) Scawfell and St Bees Island, and The Cumberland Group of Islands.
