What to Expect

Based on Hamilton Island guests step into the world of luxury cruising aboard a 100-foot Gulf Craft motor yacht offering one of the most exclusive private yacht charter experiences in the Whitsundays.

Murcielago accommodates up to 12 guests for day charters and up to 4 guests for overnight stays. Our luxury yacht charters are fully crewed and customisable, giving you the freedom to set your own course or follow the captain’s recommendations to discover secluded bays, coral-fringed reefs, and iconic sites like Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet, and Chalkie’s Beach. Outer Great Barrier Reef itineraries can be arranged for an additional fee.

Known for its impressive speed, Murcielago is powered by three high-performance engines allowing guests to reach more destinations in less time from Hamilton Island. From adrenaline-filled cruising to laid-back moments under the sun, every part of the journey is tailored to your preferences.

Features and Highlights

Elegant Interiors and Exceptional Design

Murcielago was launched in 2004 and received an extensive refit in 2014. This 30.5-metre luxury charter yacht is meticulously maintained and offers warm, modern interiors throughout. The main saloon features plush seating and entertainment facilities, while two spacious guest cabins provide accommodation for up to four guests on overnight charters (available on request).

Outdoor Living at Its Finest

Enjoy the best of outdoor yacht living with expansive deck spaces built for relaxation and entertainment. Lounge on the forward-facing sun pad with panoramic views of the Whitsundays or enjoy alfresco dining and shaded lounging on the aft deck. A large swim platform at the rear ensures easy access to the water—perfect for reef snorkelling, paddleboarding, or cooling off after a day in the sun.

Water Sports and Activities

Murcielago is fully equipped with a wide range of water sports gear to suit every age and interest. Guests can try wakeboarding, water skiing, or towable tubing, or take it slow with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding in calm, sheltered waters. The inflatable swimming pool provides a safe and fun environment for all, especially popular with children during full day charters.

Bespoke Whitsundays Itineraries

Each Whitsundays private yacht charter on Murcielago is tailored to suit your group. Visit remote islands, snorkel over coral gardens, or spend the day anchored off the silica sands of Whitehaven Beach. The captain and crew work closely with you to create an itinerary based on the tides, weather, and your personal interests, ensuring an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Family-Friendly Cruising

Murcielago is a top choice for families looking for a safe, private way to explore the Whitsundays. The yacht’s layout is ideal for younger guests, with secure areas and comfortable shaded zones for rest.

High-Speed Cruising Power

With three powerful engines—unlike the standard two—Murcielago delivers outstanding speed and agility, making her the fastest vessel in her category at the marina. This enhanced performance translates into more time at each destination and the ability to reach further locations, including outer Great Barrier Reef sites, on single-day itineraries.
