2-Day Whitsundays Sailing Trip on Broomstick

ToursBoat and harbour cruises

1 to 3 days

Overview

This is a social 2-day, 2-night sailing trip through the Whitsundays aboard the maxi yacht Broomstick. It is aimed at travellers who want more than a quick day tour, with time on the water, stops at Whitehaven Beach and coral reef snorkelling spots, plus two nights sleeping onboard. Meals, snacks, bed linen, snorkel gear and crew are included, so it is a fairly straightforward way to do a Whitsundays sailing trip without organising much yourself. It is pitched at adventurous travellers and has a young, energetic vibe rather than a quiet luxury cruise.

Why backpackers love it

For backpackers, the appeal is that a lot is bundled into one booking: accommodation, meals, snorkel gear, crew and transport between key Whitsundays spots. It is also a good fit if you want a social boat trip with other younger travellers rather than a polished resort-style experience. Because you stay onboard for two nights, you get more time out in the islands and skip the hassle of returning to shore each day. Just keep in mind it is an adventurous sailing trip, and all bookings are non-refundable.

What to expect

You’ll spend two days and two nights living onboard Broomstick as the crew sails between Whitsunday highlights. The trip includes visits to Whitehaven Beach and snorkelling at coral reefs, with proper sailing time in between rather than just motoring from stop to stop. Onboard, the crew prepares meals and provides tea, coffee, filtered water, snacks and dessert after dinner. You’ll sleep in a bed onboard with linen provided, and snorkel suits are included. Dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free can be catered for if requested when booking.
