Private Charters

Private Crewed Charters are vessels which are available for an unlimited period - though normally for 3 -10 days and come with a skipper/guide and crew.

These private charters range in price from $1500 per day and prove good value when the cost is divided among a group of 6 or more guests. The standard of vessels available for private and exclusive charter is generally very high with the skipper/guide and crew offering the highest levels of discreet service while showing their guests the best the Whitsunday's have to offer.

Private Charters offer you the chance to experience the Whitsunday's at your own pace and with complete relaxation. You can, of course get in and give a hand with the sails if you desire. You as charterers have full and exclusive occupancy and use of the vessel. Also the main say in your destinations, dependent on weather and tides. Menu's, drinks lists and details of itinerary's can then also be forwarded to you depending on your requirements.

For any special requests with diet, itinerary or pick up details please insure you notify your consultant as soon as possible. Private Charter quotes are always dependent on the dates you are looking for. Once a vessel is selected, dates are available and a quote has been given, a deposit is required to secure the reservation. This is normally a 20% deposit, which can be made by credit card, direct deposit or cheque. Payment in full for a private charter is then required 60 days prior to arrival. Arrival details should then also be reconfirmed 48 hours prior to departure.

The Whitsundays Central Booking Office - airliebeach.com - let our team design a charter to suit you.
