Bareboat Open Day, Abel Point Marina

  Sat 23 Oct
  10:00am - 4:00pm
  Abel Point Marina, North Arms, Shingley Drive, Airlie Beach

The Airlie Beach based bareboat companies will be presenting a range of the sailing yachts, power boats and sailing catamarans for you to view free of charge at the Abel Point Marina. Take the board walk around the foreshore to the marina for parking hassle free access to the event.

Ranging from "ideal for couples" 32 foot sailing monos to the new 48 foot luxury Salina 48 sailing catamaran, the range of boats is stunning. Set up as floating hotel apartments on the water, there is plenty of comfort amongst the fleet from renowned Australian and International boat manufacturers including Fontaine Pajot, Trawler, Seawind, Lightwave, Voyager, Perry,  Beneteau, Catalina, Hanse and Bavaria.

Not known to everyone, around 200 bareboats are offered for charter in the Whitsundays, making it one of most popular means of having an aquatic holiday in Australia. Bareboats are "skipper yourself", so you get together a group, food, beverages and head out to the islands for 5,7, 10 or more nights without formal captain or crew.... after getting a briefing of course!! Bareboat operators in the Whitsundays speak with you twice a day by radio to ensure that you are safe and have good plans as you move amongst the 74 islands, reefs and resorts of the Whitsundays, Great Barrier Reef.

The entertainment and adventure is endless as you and your crew have to decide amongst these activities on a daily basis:
  Sailing or cruising from place to place
  Fishing
  Snorkelling
  Diving
  Going the beach
  Preparing a banquet or snack in idealic surrounds
  Visiting island resorts
  Island walks and nature appreciation
  Observing marine wildlife, turtles, stingrays, dolphins and whales (in season)
... and doing nothing
