FOR OUR GREAT DEALS

TESTIMONIALS

The queen marie sets a standard befitting its regal name....

This is the fourth time we have chartered a boat in the Whitsundays and the ‘Queen Marie’ is by far the best boat we have had. This big, powerful boat is easy to drive, even in inclement weather, and handles beautifully. If you can drive a car you can drive this boat!

Queen Maries’ speed and stability were definite highlights!

We were lucky enough to have the ‘Queen Marie’ as our lead boat for the annual Multihull Whitsundays Rendezvous and she was perfect! Her spacious accommodation meant all guests were very comfortable throughout our charter, comfortable beds, our own bathrooms, plenty of space for socialising, huge storage areas so we could enjoy our week clutter-free, plus a very well equipped galley with everything we needed for each meal.

We’ll be back for sure!

I loved this holiday. My second time on Whitsundays

Experience the whitsundays at its best, it doesn’t matter where you’ve been… you’ll love where you’re going, you won’t want to miss this.
