Exclusive vessel hire · Custom itineraries · Reef, islands & beyond
A private charter means the entire vessel is booked exclusively for your group — no other passengers, no shared schedule, no compromises. You set the destination, choose the pace, and tell us what you want to do. Our experienced local crew take care of the rest, drawing on years of knowledge of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, the Family Islands, and the wider Cassowary Coast.
Private charters are ideal for special occasions, large groups who want flexibility, couples seeking a romantic escape, and anyone who simply wants to explore on their own terms. Whether you want a full-day reef adventure, a leisurely island hop, a sunset cruise for twenty, or an offshore fishing trip — we can make it happen.
