A few words from some of our happy customers

The Ackinclose Family

This was the holiday of a lifetime. When we returned, we immediately got off the boat and walked straight into the office to book again for the following year.

We had an absolute blast. And really the boat was the centre piece of that. It was everything we could have asked for; spacious, luxurious, comfortable, plenty of water storage and fridge/freezer space, room to spread out, great cooking facilities, plenty of lounging areas and a hot shower and comfy bed at the end of every day.

Perhaps most importantly it allowed us to ‘choose our own adventure’! This holiday had it all…. turquoise waters, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, isolated beaches, white sand, incredible walks, beach combing, whales, dolphins, turtles, tropical fish, and some high sea adventures! It’s one thing to visit the Whitsundays, it’s another altogether to holiday ON the Whitsundays. Being on the water 24/7 is an experience unlike any other… it was pure joy!

We loved being on our own (the perfect covid safe holiday really!), enjoying each others company and everyday being an adventure. Not to mention relaxing and unwinding with the most amazing scenery and sunsets. This is a holiday you and your children will remember forever!

Billy & Friends

Thank you again to the Whitsunday Escape Crew for another amazing experience in the magnificent Whitsundays. We had a wonderful 10 days onboard the Seawind 1260 Volare, which kicked off with a great brief by Amee who was very thorough and very knowledgeable about operating Volare safely.

Throughout the charter the support from the ops team is first rate. Whether you want to know where the best place to overnight for the conditions, or if you need some advice about the boat, they will always go the extra mile to ensure you have the best holiday possible. Shoutout to Jordans mobile outboard repairs that paid us a quick visit in Stonehaven to help sort us out.

The absolute highlight for this trip was the time we had all of Whitehaven Beach entirely to ourselves for a few hours on a sunny afternoon. A magical moment that is unlikely to be repeated.

We’re already booked in for our next charter with Whitsunday Escape over Christmas and can’t wait to get back up there.

The Patel Family

We were first time ‘bare boaters’ and a little nervous about going out to sea in a million-dollar catamaran but Whitsunday Escape couldn’t have been more helpful providing boating information and ensuring we had the prerequisite knowledge.

Big thanks to Lachy for his ‘pep talk’ to my crew before we set off.

Best family holiday ever and we loved every minute.

WHAT IS BAREBOATING?

Skipper yourself.

The term bareboating (aka bare-boating) simply means hiring one of our extraordinary sailing catamarans without a crew, a captain or any provisions. We’ll be teaching you to do all of this yourself. YES ! – You become the skipper. But don’t worry, we teach you everything you need to know to confidently set sail (or motor) around the glorious and Ancient Ngaro Sea Country of the wonderful Whitsunday Islands.

Facts About BARE BOATING

You DO NOT REQUIRE A BOAT LICENSE TO SELF SKIPPER.

WE HELP GUIDE YOU SO YOU FEEL SAFE & CONFIDENT.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE PRIOR BOATING EXPERIENCE TO SELF SKIPPER.

So how does bareboating work?

We provide a world class boat, you choose to become the skipper, you select your crew (family / friends), and you provision the vessel for the charter holiday and experience of a lifetime – In doing so you charter the boat under a Bare-Boat hire agreement and take our yachts out sailing yourself. An inspiring experience. Our Skipper Yourself Bare-Boating option, is our most popular.

Portland Roads – Sailing the Whitsundays offers the industry’s leading boats at the best price for those wanting to ‘do it themselves’ in paradise.

Bare-boating is perfect for the experienced sailor or repeat customers to the amazing Whitsundays. A full briefing is provided (and included in you charter pricing) to ensure you are at a competent level before departure. Additional training can be given if you are a bit rusty…

The briefing is so thorough that even novices can give this a go – Your briefing includes Navigation, Safety, Boat Handling, Water Safety, Boat Rules, Sailing, Motoring, Anchoring, Mooring and Emergency Safety Management Systems. After your briefing, if you are still not 100% confident, we offer additional sail training, which many of our novices pre-book to maximise their holiday enjoyment and safety.

Do I need a license to go bareboating?

No, you do not need a licence or experience. We are so excited and very committed to helping anyone new to sailing get out and onto the water. Adventure Still Lives. We are passionate – We are professional. In our caring hands, anyone can respectfully learn to handle any of our extraordinary sailing vessels.

About The Whitsundays

Why is The Whitsundays a good sailing destination?

The Whitsundays in Queensland is more than just a destination; it’s a realm of awe, a haven for sailing enthusiasts, and a mosaic of unparalleled natural beauty. Nestled within the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, The Whitsundays encapsulates 74 idyllic islands, presenting an intricate ballet of aqua-blue waters, verdant landscapes, and ethereal white sand beaches. Yachting.Rent invites you to unearth the myriad reasons why The Whitsundays stands out as a globally renowned sailing paradise.

At the core of The Whitsundays’ appeal is its rich tapestry of experiences. From the iconic silhouette of Whitehaven Beach, renowned for its swirls of white sands and turquoise waters, to the sequestered coves and vibrant coral gardens, every nook cradles a tale of nature’s marvel. The region’s tropical climate offers warm waters year-round, making it ideal for sailors who seek both thrill and tranquillity. Gentle trade winds dance across the archipelago, promising smooth sails and fostering a magnetic pull for both amateur sailors and seasoned mariners.

However, The Whitsundays isn’t just about passive observation; it’s an interactive journey. The flourishing marine ecosystem is home to a plethora of aquatic species. Dive beneath the waves and immerse yourself in a world where technicolor coral formations play host to clownfish, manta rays, and sea turtles. For those who lean towards terrestrial adventures, the islands offer hiking trails that meander through lush rainforests, leading to vantage points that gift panoramic vistas of the azure expanse.

With Yachting.Rent, this enchanting destination becomes accessible at your fingertips. We offer not just a voyage, but a curated experience. Our local knowledge and expertise ensure that you don’t just sail The Whitsundays, but you feel it, breathe it, and become a part of its timeless narrative.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in The Whitsundays

The Whitsundays, with its pristine waters, iconic beaches, and mesmerizing sunsets, beckons every sailor with the promise of a unique experience. The question isn’t whether to sail The Whitsundays, but how? Two popular choices dominate the horizon: the classic sailing boat and the modern catamaran. With Yachting.Rent, you can navigate this choice, tailoring your Whitsundays adventure to your style and preference.

The traditional sailing boat is a nostalgic nod to the age-old charm of the seas. Its monohull design delivers a closer connection to the water, letting sailors truly feel every wave and ripple. This vessel is perfect for those who yearn for a genuine, tactile sailing experience. Its sleek form allows for agile navigation, making it an excellent choice for the narrow channels and hidden nooks of The Whitsundays. On deck, you’re bathed in sunlight, with panoramic views all around, while below, the cozy cabins offer an intimate setting, perfect for couples or solo voyagers.

On the other hand, the catamaran, with its dual hulls, is the epitome of stability and space. Offering a broader deck area, it’s ideal for families or larger groups, ensuring everyone has their slice of paradise. The catamaran’s design minimizes the heeling effect, ensuring a smoother sail, especially beneficial for those new to the sailing realm. Its spaciousness isn’t just about the deck; the interiors too are generously proportioned, with larger cabins, common areas, and even dedicated spots for sunbathing or dining al fresco. Plus, its shallow draft means you can anchor closer to the beaches, making those spontaneous beach excursions even more accessible.

In conclusion, the choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran in The Whitsundays depends on the kind of experience you seek. If it’s romance, tradition, and an authentic sailing feel you’re after, the sailing boat is your muse. However, if space, stability, and modern comforts rank high on your list, the catamaran emerges as the undisputed winner.

Whichever vessel you lean towards, Yachting.Rent ensures a seamless journey. Our fleet, comprising both sailing boats and catamarans, is maintained to the highest standards, ensuring your Whitsundays adventure is nothing short of perfection. So, chart your course, hoist your sails, and let The Whitsundays’ magic unfold with Yachting.Rent.

‘Below Deck’ Sails Into a New Era

With a different captain at the helm and new production elements, the reality show about charter yachts is switching up its style.

By Shivani Gonzalez

Starting a new season of “ Below Deck ” can be similar to returning to summer camp as a kid — you know it’s going to be fun and that you’ll be in the same environment, but some of the people will be different and you’re not quite sure what the vibes will be.

This time around, in particular, feels that way because for the first time in the show’s 11-season run, Captain Lee Rosbach is no longer at the helm. It’s a pivotal moment for a franchise that has become one of the most popular entities in the sprawling universe of reality TV since premiering on Bravo in 2013 . The show’s appeal was built on endless romances between various crew members (“boatmances,” as they came to be known), horrible charter guests and some sort of passive-aggressive fight about how many shackles of the anchor chain should be in the water. And there was always Rosbach presiding over the drama as he trudged around the boat, reeling off one liners like “I’m madder than a pissed-on chicken” and “we screwed the pooch so many times we should have a litter of puppies running around.”

At the center of the show now is Kerry Titheradge (the stern yet goofy captain of “Below Deck Adventure” fame), who is managing the Motor Yacht Saint David with the cheeky chief stew Fraser Olender by his side.

With that change in captain, the energy on the boat — both onscreen and off — is different, according to Olender.

“Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” Olender said in an interview. “With Kerry, he taught me a lot and sort of forced to me confront issues directly with my team, work them out, as opposed to making executive decisions too soon.”

This shift in management style changes the central conflict — whereas the drama once focused on the captain swiftly kicking out any unpleasant crew member (as we might have seen with Rosbach), the drama now focuses on the whole crew trying to get along (since Titheradge gives people those second chances).

Additionally, Olender noted that the captain’s relationship with the crew can also affect the drama on board.

“Captains absolutely do get involved, whether they know it or not,” Olender said, adding that for the crew, everything is about “trying to impress your captain.”

This phenomenon plays out early in the new season when the lead deckhand, Ben Willoughby, called out a fellow crew member over the radios about not wearing a life vest — something he easily could have done in private. The drama that followed became an interpersonal conflict between the two of them, both with the ultimate goal of impressing Titheradge. (Of course, the two deckhands had kissed on the previous crew night out, which is more in line with the “Below Deck” drama viewers are used to.)

For “Below Deck” showrunners, the changeovers in the cast allowed them to rethink what the show would look like.

From the season premiere, it was immediately apparent that Rosbach’s absence wasn’t the only change this season: The filming is sleeker, the daily, multicourse meals prepared by the chef are given their own glamour shots and the cameras sometimes cut to the perspectives of yachties running around on deck and through the galley.

“Our showrunner, Lauren Simms, is an avid consumer of all different kinds of media,” Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, said in an interview. “She pitches us different ideas on how to stylistically evoke different feelings and change the mood a little bit of ‘Below Deck’ without removing what really works.”

Moving through the rest of the season, and potentially through seasons to come, Olender is aiming to bring a cutthroat management style while also bringing affection for his stews, all with his signature British humor.

On Bravo’s side, there are changes in the works for the other “Below Deck” spinoffs — including “Sailing Yacht,” “Mediterranean” and “Down Under” — which collectively, have 26 seasons. Specifically, Samton said that “Down Under” is currently filming and that even though fans should be ready to see new things, the show will stay true to its original concept.

“These are real yachties doing a real job so you have to stay within those confines because the audience isn’t going to want anything that is too produced or fake,” Samton said. “So we have to find ways to reinvent while staying true to the original concept of the show.”

And as Olender said: “I’m sure that every year if I were to work with this franchise again, that I’ll be thrown a collection of total chaotic and disastrous stews — that’s what makes it watchable.”

An earlier version of this article misquoted Fraser Olender, the chief stew of “Below Deck.” He said, “I also feel like Kerry this season. ... Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” not “I feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to Lee, has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him.”
