Tip for this tour

This is the only overnight sailing trimaran in the region. Due to its popularity, you must book at least two months in advance during the busy season.

Are you looking for an overnight Sailing Tour that has a legendary social atmosphere and is not overcrowded? then check out Avatar Whitsundays.

This trimaran is a true sailing yacht and has been operating in the Whitsundays for 20 years. There is no other boat in the Whitsundays like it, with a trimaran hull (3 hulls) and large nets between the main hull and the outriggers, this is a one-of-a-kind adventure tour!

 This sailing trip is suitable for ages 18-35 who prefer a fun, relaxed atmosphere. What sets Avatar apart from all the other Whitsundays Tours, is its size. At 67 feet long and 54 feet wide, there is plenty of room to sun-bake on the comfortable nets and watch the Whitsundays sailing by.

With a professional fun crew and a yacht like a formula one racing car, you will have the time of your life on Avatar Whitsundays.

Whitehaven Beach

Avatar Whitsundays Tour visits Whitehaven Beach for around 2 hours. During this time you embark on a bush-walk from Tongue Point (northern end of Whitehaven), this walk takes around 15 minutes, once at the top you will experience Whitehaven Beach above on the viewing platform. This breathtaking view from here lets you see all 7 km of the beach as well as the world-famous swirling sands that form the inlet

Snorkelling

During your 2 day tour, you will get at least 3 opportunities to snorkel the coral-filled bays on the coastal fringes of the islands. Here you can see turtles, Maori wrasse, batfish, parrot fish, clown fish (Nemo) plus plenty more! in most bays, the coral starts close to shore and is easily accessible by the small tender boats. For the nonconfident swimmers, there are noodles and flotation devices available for safety.

Learn To Sail

The crew are more than happy to teach you the basics of sailing. Get involved in helping the crew hoist the mainsail and headsail. The qualified team on board will give you lessons, and if you’re lucky you may get to stand at the helm and steer the boat towards your next destination. This is optional if you do not wish to participate you can just lie back and enjoy the ride.

WEATHER:

Welcome to the tropics! Although our winters are unbeatable in terms of weather, our summers can be hot and wet. November –
March can be extremely hot and humid, especially downstairs on a boat. Unless you are accustomed to living in this climate, you
may find it slightly uncomfortable, especially at night when you are sleeping. Please be prepared for this

WATER, TEA AND COFFEE:

We provide tap water on all our vessels however it isn’t cold and some people don’t like the taste of it. During our summer
months, we strongly encourage you bring bottled water. We recommend 2 litres per day. Tea and Coffee breaks are generally in
the morning and afternoon.

TRAVEL SICKNESS:

If you are not quite sure whether or not, you may suffer from Travel Sickness please make sure that you are prepared. As our
trained crew will assist as much as possible in making you comfortable but they are not allowed to provide you with any
medication to help with the problem.

SNORKELLING GEAR:

Mask, fins and snorkels are all included in the price of your trip and will be distributed on board.

LYCRA SUITS & WETSUITS:

Wearing a Lycra stinger suit will prevent UV exposure and significantly reduce your risk to marine stingers. OzSail requires that
all passengers wear a full length stinger suit or wetsuit (with hoods optional and recommended) if you wish to swim, snorkel and
or dive from our vessels.
You will be fitted for your Suit onboard the boat.

Good crew, good food and of course incredible views and sailing. We were on the avatar for 3 days 2 nights. We had multiple snorkelling spots and love that you go to Whitehaven beach on Whitsundays island before any other boats early in the morning.It does get very hot in the sleeping quarters (recommend taking a hand held fan) or sleeping on deck under the stars if weather permits.Only feedback would be the experience could be enhanced with a few less people on the boat so sleeping arrangements aren’t as tight. But we had a fab time!

Not the best experience on board: we had a 2 days trip on a trimaran that is old and not very well kept. The skipper was a nice person and good but the big problem was the cook!!! That person was not a cook, very improvised person, and you need to know how to feed properly 27 persons mostly when they are young! The food was not enough and of poor quality. For sleeping all was very ‘border line’. It would have been nice to have on board some fresh drinks at disposal for us,not for free but paying for them, also some snacks maybe, or fruit. Dinner or lunch were one dish and that’s all folks! Not even some hot drink after….There are many things to fix still. Besides all this the places we’ve been where beautiful and we saw whales.

i did the avatar Whitsundays two day two night trip. It was great. Sort of a camping-on-a-boat experience. You sleep in a Queen or double sized bunk (2 people to a bunk). The food was pretty good. Places we stopped are amazing. Our group was 25 people, mostly in their young or mid twenties, but there were five or so people in their 30s, too. Our skipper and crew/guides were fantastic: Laura, Kelly, Taylor.

I had the best time on this trip 🙂 Michaela, Milga, and Zach were the most helpful and sweetest crew we could have ever asked for. The conditions were amazing, the other passengers were honestly perfect and it felt like the perfect getaway for my long weekend! I didn’t feel seasick at any point and the sunsets were unreal 💖💖💖💖

Had an amazing time on the Avatar 2 night cruise. The crew was wonderful, always checking in with the passengers if they needed anything and always up for a chat! Zach, Micheala, and Milga were the crew and I couldn’t have asked for better! Oh that the ladies made us delicious food, not just the standard sandwiches! 10/10 would recommend! Oh and obviously the whitsundays were amazing/wonderful/awesome to look at and explore!
