Highlights

  • See most of the Whitsundays in a few days
  • Sail at racing speeds to save time
  • Visit Whitehaven Beach and snorkel over fringing reefs

Hammer Whitsundays is a large maxi racing yacht fitted with accommodation for guests. Hammer has a mixture of double and single beds situated throughout the boat. These are all shared, dorm-style open-plan rooms. From April to September, the maximum capacity is normally 18 guests, allowing guests to have their beds (single or double). During peak season (October-March), our capacity can reach higher numbers of up to 23 with sharing of double beds. Itineraries are 3 days/2 nights and include visits to the famous Whitehaven Beach, snorkeling over some of the best fringing coral reefs in the world, sunset beach sessions, and chilling in the evening with your fellow shipmates. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, and dessert are included, as well as tea, coffee, and filtered drinking tap water throughout your stay. Hammer is a BYOB vessel (no glass), so guests should bring their alcohol on board if desired.

Tours aboard the Hammer Whitsundays offer up to 5-hours at the famous Whitehaven Beach, allowing ample photo opportunities of the 98% silica sand inlets and dunes, stunning turquoise waters, and Hill Inlet viewpoint. Up to 4 snorkel stops on the fringing reefs are planned for the chance to swim with tropical reef fish and turtles above the colorful reefs. All snorkel equipment and wetsuits are included in the trip. These tours are perfect for adventurous singles, couples, and groups aged 18-45 who are fit and able to move about a boat unassisted. Some under 18s may be accepted on board by request.
