Great Sailing Adventure on the Great Barrier Reef.
We were only able to moor at Michaelsminn reef due to weather conditions, but the captain made sure we all saw our share of turtles, sharks, clown fish, and the beautiful colorful coral. I would also add that the trip back to the marina was a true sailing experience. We had winds at 25 knots and waves at 2 meters. The perfect conditions to experience real sailing.

- 1. The crew were very experienced and knowledgeable on sailing and diving. 2. The captain (Christian) was very entertaining in providing the guests with the history and his knowledge of the reefs history, as well as efforts to continue the life of the reef. 3. The ship is older and in need of some TLC in the living quarters, but make no mistake this sailboat is in great sailing shape. The older woodwork in the cabin gave it an added ambience and nostalgia.

The amazing access to the spectacle of the reef. However it was the intimate and personal setting where we shared our experience and time aboard with the team that created a wonderful environment for the trip.

Unique diving and sailboat experience
Naturally diving on the great barrier reef and the night dive were the bighest hightlights. We saw plenty of reef sharks, turtles, big barracudas, tunas, different trevallies & groupers, cuddle fish and much more. I was amazed how healthy the reefs still were. Service was excellent. Naturally as the boat is a sailing boat, the indoor area is limited. We knew this beforehand and felt the boat was very cozy.
