Our Great Barrier Reef Private Charter Boat Destinations

Great Barrier Reef Islands of Australia

Book accommodation on a luxury island resort on the Great Barrier Reef and have our motor yacht anchored off shore for your daily excursions of scuba diving and snorkelling for your personal use at any time day or night.

Stay at Bedarra Island, Fitzroy Island, Green Island, Haggerstone and more. Cruising around Queensland's Great Barrier Reef islands in a luxury motor yacht is the ideal family vacation, adventure holiday, romantic getaway or relaxing break.

Lizard Island is located 150 miles north of Cairns and 57 miles north east off the coast from Cooktown. The Island offers the natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, with 24 white sandy beaches.

Snorkel direct from the yacht or walk off the beach and into coral gardens with the most impressive sea life right there before you.

Discover a garden of giant clams and the colorful marine life of Lizard Island's spectacular fringing coral reefs.

The Coral Sea & Osprey Reef

The Coral Sea marine region is a remote ocean ecosystem recognised for its unique physical, ecological and heritage values. The Coral Sea islands and associated reefs support critical nesting sites for the green turtle and a range of seabird species such as noddies, terns, boobies, frigate birds and other migrational birds.

The reefs are also renowned for the diverse range of predatory fish such as albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna, broadbill swordfish, marlin and sharks that regularly pass through them.

Lying 110 kilometres north east of the northern Great Barrier Reef, Osprey Reef rewards the scuba diver and snorkeller with 40m+ visibility and if the season’s right, the chance to see schooling hammerhead sharks, dogtooth tuna and other pelagic species.

The Gulf of Carpentaria

This warm and shallow expanse of water is bordered by Queensland to the east with the Northern Territory to the west. With over 20 river systems draining into the pristine, mangrove lined shores of East Arnhemland and the Cape York Peninsula, this union creates an incredibly productive region for some of the best fishing in the world.

The dry season lasts from about April until November and is characterized by very dry southeast to east winds, generated by migratory winter high pressure systems to the south. The green season lasts from December to March.

Fish from custom designed tenders, dine on the catch of the day, prepared by our world class Chef, and at the end of the day relax on the deck under the stars whilst enjoying good company and a beverage.

The Kimberley & Rowley Shoals

The Kimberley in North West of Australia is one of the last true wilderness areas on Earth, with iconic outback landscapes and undiscovered secrets billions of years in the making.

Covering nearly 423,000 square kilometers with a population of less than 40,000 people, it’s here you’ll encounter some of the most extraordinary outback adventures in Australia.

Discover ancient gorge country, pristine castaway beaches and the world’s only horizontal waterfalls.

Rowley Shoals Marine Park lies 300 kilometres west of Broome. Made up of three coral atolls, with untouched coral gardens, amazing marine life and clear lagoons, it is a true watery wilderness.

Snorkelling and scuba diving is out of this world where shallow lagoons harbour colourful coral, abundant marine life and even a ship wreck. Take a dive here and you’ll see untouched coral gardens, giant clams and other shellfish.

The fishing here is quite simply is outstanding!

Many species are protected so catch and release programs are enforced. The deep waters surrounding the Rowley Shoals are home to large populations of pelagic species such as sharks, marlin and sailfish, so it’s a good spot for experiencing the thrill of big game fishing.
