Cairns Boat Charter - Overnight and Extended Luxury Cruising

Overnight and extended luxury cruises are our most popular private charter requests for our Cairns based luxury boat.

When visiting Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef you simply must spend the night out on the water to witness the sunrises and sunsets and see how the marine life changes with the changing time of day and night.

Enjoy an evening BBQ with the day’s catch, sip champagne, watch the sun set and the stars come out as you indulge in the pleasure of your own private luxury charter boat.

In the morning, rise with the sun, swim, dive or snorkel as we roam between reefs, finding the best locations from among our 39 exclusive roving permit moorings.

Want to make the luxury boat charter even more special? How about adding a marine biologist to your trip, guiding you on every snorkel or dive, engaging you in citizen science, bringing the mysteries of the reef to life. We have many scientific projects we are engaged in and your marine biologist can show you some of these and even get you to take part. Just ask our reservations team for a quote to add a marine biologist to your Cairns reef charter.
