Create Your Own Experience
No matter which you choose you will always experience the highlights of the Whitsundays.
Take a look at what you can experience with your own Private Charter aboard British Defender.
Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach
No Whitsunday voyage is complete without a trip to the magnificent silica sands of Whitehaven. Whether you enjoy beachcombing, sunbathing, beach games or just taking stunning photos, there's something for everyone. We recommend 3 hours to truly experience this wonder.
Whitsunday Islands
Whitsunday Islands
The beauty of a private charter is that we can take you to secluded locations which many visitors never get to see. We have a variety of places to share with you including Aboriginal culture, waterfalls, scenic mountains and inlets.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling
Choose your snorkelling destination - we have a number of highly recommended sites that we frequent depending on what you're looking for. Each site has a highlight including giant clams, clownfish and underwater caves.
Island Resorts
Island Resorts
For an indulgent break, why not visit one of the island resorts for spa treatments, shopping, a round of golf or just an ice-cream on the beach. Daydream Islands interactive living reef aquarium is also a must see.
Hamilton Island and Daydream Island boast a number of restaurants where you can enjoy a light meal or a full culinary experience. Berthing is also available overnight if you can't fit everything into one afternoon.
Bush Walking
Bush Walking
The Whitsunday Islands is home to many bushwalks including the Ngaro Sea Trail, a unique blend of seaways and picturesque walks across the Whitsunday Islands.
Hill Inlet lookout is a perennial favourite with 270 degree views of the twisty turquoise waterways which shift and change with the tides. Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach, regardless of your fitness level, you will be rewarded by Insta-worthy imagery to make your friends jealous!

Had a great time on the British Defender. The crew were great hosts and the food was really good. We really enjoyed the snorkelling and Whitehaven Beach. Would definitely recommend, only thing make sure you bring enough alcohol if you want to drink and at night the boat generator was very loud.

Had an amazing 2 day 2 night tour through the Whitsunday Islands with ofcourse the absolute highlight, Whitehaven beach. The boat was the British Defender, airconditioning was perfect at night. The crew, Sean, Anita and Tony are a very nice combination of talent, skill, humour and enthusiasm. The meals were fantastic, didnt expect that on a sailing boat but that must be mostly because of the cooking skills of Anita. Thanks again and keep doing as you do! Even though it aint cheap, 5/5 from me! It was worth it.
