British Defender is a high tech Whitbread Around The World Racing Maxi that was raced by the British Armed Services during the 1989/90 Around the World Race. It is an 83ft Maxi Yacht with a Sloop design. Built of Carbon Fibre, features include a huge 115ft mast, race grinding winch towers and over 6ft of headroom below deck.

Since this maxi was converted into a Whitsunday Charter Maxi yacht in 2001, she runs a 3 day/2 night trip departing Thursdays and Mondays. Taking up to 26 guests, this trip is suited to people who want a Maxi-racing adventure cruise!

British Defender has turned heads since the day that the yacht was named by the Duke of Edinburgh on London’s Thames River. Today she is still turning heads after a 3500 man-hour refit in 2001.

The amount of headroom on this yacht adds to comfortable live-aboard quarters below deck. Single berths and double berths are available, there are also 3 showers and toilets and a dining/lounge area, all in an open plan layout. This yacht will take you to all the best destinations in the Whitsundays including the gorgeous Whitehaven Beach and most colourful snorkelling areas.

Included in your trip is all snorkeling gear and tuition, 3 meals per day, courtesy bus transfers from accommodation to the boat, bed linen and bath towels. Vegetarians can be catered for on request. Diving is available during the trip as the British Defender can rendezvous with a dive connection.

All meals, accommodation, bed linen and snorkeling equipment are included in the cost of the cruise.
