When you book a private charter boat for your Great Barrier Reef tour from Cairns we can plan the day’s itinerary or you may choose to visit a particular island or reef just off Cairns. Our boat is geared for snorkel tours and dive tours for those guests that are certified open water scuba divers.

Based in the Cairns Marlin Marina we begin our private charter Great Barrier Reef tour according to your required time and on the distance of the particular destinations we are going to be diving and snorkelling.

If you are on a cruise ship visiting Cairns or Yorkeys Knob we can arrange our private charter reef trips around your cruise ship shore tour docking schedule.  

Our boat is a KevlaCat 3700 Flybridge Deluxe that is licenced to carry 8 guests and her crew on Great Barrier Reef private charter snorkel tours.

If you are short on time we can also meet you out on the Great Barrier Reef and you can take a scenic helicopter flight to meet us at a pontoon. 

Book a half day or full day snorkel tour and if you are certified open water scuba divers ask our private charter boat specialists for a quote to add a dive master and scuba diving gear to your Great Barrier Reef tour

Our charter boat crew will be serving refreshments for morning and afternoon tea and a nice lunch.
