• After snorkelling and scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef there is nothing better than coming back to our luxury Mother Ship yacht for a cool drink to relax and talk about our great day on the reef.
• Our luxury private charter motor yacht is in constant demand as a mother ship for fishing tours, movies, and luxury dive and snorkel tours on the Great Barrier Reef and Papua New Guinea. 
• Cruise the Great Barrier Reef in Australia in style. Explore the remote coastline of Queensland up to the Cape York Peninsular and beyond on a luxury superyacht.

The ultimate way to experience the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas and Far North Queensland Coast is on our recently refitted 70 foot Mothership which combines luxury and comfort for overnight and extended long range private boat charters along the Great Barrier Reef coastline.

Our luxury private motor yacht sleeps up to 8 guests in air-conditioned comfort with two ensuited queen cabins, and two twin share cabins with full daily houskeeping service providing the combination of luxury and comfort for short or long range boat charters north of Port Douglas on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

She has 3 seperate levels and multiple dining options for each meal service which is prepared by our onboard chef and served by your private yacht hostess.

Our private charter motor yacht is also fully licenced and provides a good selection of vintage wines for the connoisseur.  

For one day Great Barrier Reef private yacht charters she can cater for 12 guests

Water Sports Equipment

For both a one day private charter or a multi overnight boat charter it always adds to the fun if you have some in-water sports equipment and we can provide snorkelling gear, sea kayaks and stand up paddle boards.

For the more adventurous we can provide a scuba diving instructor and all dive gear so you can explore all the pristine coral reefs for both day trips and overnight extended boat charters.

On our 1 day Great Barrier Reef luxury yacht charter we could have you snorkelling at Low Isles in just 1.5 hours steaming time from the Crystalbrook Marina in Port Douglas.

Low Isles is an island with a lot of history for the local Aboriginals and a research station for scientists from the world over.

The corals around this island are the softer corals and it is well known as the island to visit if you wish to snorkel with sea turtles.   

For scuba diving we would recommend Tongue Reef as it has a mixture of both hard and soft corals with a huge array of marine life and it too is great for snorkelling. Steaming time to Tongue Reef is 2 hours where you can sit back and enjoy the sunshine and the scenery along the way.

For those that like to combine fishing with a day on the Great Barrier Reef we can add one of our 3 - 6 metre centre console fishing boats and or we would recommend you charter our fast 40 foot custom built Black Watch game boat for this adventure. 

Port Douglas Overnight Extended Private Boat Charters

Your private charter yacht is situated at the Crystalbrook Reef Marina Port Douglas. 

Specialising in both one day boat charters and overnight extended charters she explores the local islands and reefs with her guests who are looked after by an onboard chef, skipper and hostess.   

We cater for 8 guests on our extended overnight boat charters and guests have a choice of locations of where we can take them and meet them on the Great Barrier Reef.

On four day charters we recommend guests take a scenic low level flight to Lizard Island where we will meet them and begin our 4 days of exploring the northern Ribbon Reefs both diving and or snorkelling some of the most amazing spots on the Great Barrier Reef.

If requested we could even provide a 3-6 metre centre console fishing boat to catch fresh sashimi for lunches and dinners.
