Sailing the Whitsundays in classic style on board Windjammer. With elegant lines and fine craftsmanship she sails for 3 days/3 nights  with 9 guests for an intimate sail, focusing on good food, personalized service and your relaxation. Private Stateroom, Double berths or single accommodation available.

Windjammer is a 72' gaff rigged schooner designed along the lines of the trading and fishing schooners that worked the Grand Banks in the North Atlantic and plied the east coats of America for 200 years. These classic schooners, handled by small crews, formed the hub of the trading industry and the basis for a thousand books written on small sailing ships.

Launched in 1994, Windjammer is considered to be one of the most beautiful yachts ever to be built in Australia. She epitomises the grandest of schooner qualities, sailing at speeds of 10 knots or more on the beam and broad reaches. With her 2000ft of sail area and raked masts she is certainly a spectacular sight. Whilst built in the best traditions of her class offering sailing as it was in yesteryear, that is where Windjammer's resemblance to her predecessors ends. Below decks she is luxuriously appointed displaying a timeless elegance. New Guinea rosewood adorns the interior with fittings reminiscent of a bygone era. Windjammer is a classic example of elegant lines and fine craftsmanship. The large uncluttered decks are ideal for soaking up the warm tropical sunshine and the comfortable lounge area on deck is perfect for alfresco dining, or just curling up with your favourite book.

Good food is an essential ingredient for the enjoyment of any cruise. Only the freshest produce is used to prepare the wide ranges of dishes we offer. Special diets can be catered for. Windjammer is fully crewed with a captain, cook/hostess and deckhand, however guests are encouraged to take the wheel, tend the sheets, or for the more adventurous, climb the ratlines and fine tune the canvas 70 feet above the deck. Whether it's an active or relaxing holiday you're after, the professional attentive crew will ensure you enjoy a memorable holiday in the Whitsunday Islands
