Australia
It's time to discover the magic of Australia, where every moment is an invitation to explore, experience and be enchanted.
It's a journey that celebrates the love of nature, the ocean and the endless possibilities of discovery that the dreamland of Australia has to offer.
The bright blue coastline of the Coral Sea, miles of pure white sand, uninhabited islands, pristine beaches, coral reefs, kangaroos, koalas and wobmats, ancient Aboriginal culture, boomerangs and didgeridoos, eclectic cuisine, famous Australian barbecue and world-class wines. The lack of light pollution means you can admire the stars of the southern hemisphere and the Milky Way.
As well as being a feast for the eyes, the Whitsunday Islands are a window into the soul of Australia. The islands are part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, one of the world's most famous natural wonders.
It is a place that leaves an indelible mark on the minds of those lucky enough to experience its wonders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Here we have compiled answers to frequently asked questions to make it easier for you to choose a trip where you will get the best experience and comfort.
- In the morning we wake up at 8-9-10 whoever wants.
- We prepare breakfast at 8-8:30, have breakfast and about 10 o'clock we go to sea.
- We sail, sunbathe on the deck, take photos and videos
- We enter beautiful bays, swim, dive, fish.
- Lunch in a beautiful lagoon.
- At 16-18 hours we arrive at the next pearl cove of our route. This is usually an enclosed bay, marina or harbour. Either a waterfront with restaurants.
- We have dinner at a local restaurant, enjoying the gastronomic delights and culture of the place.
- We spend the night on the yacht in cabins, if desired we can sleep outdoors under the stars, inhaling the scents of pine trees
- Sometimes we anchor in a wild cove and enjoy the silence.
You will settle in a cabin with a person of your sex. They are always neat, interesting and educated people just like you.
Together with the team you buy basic food at the beginning of the trip and prepare breakfasts and lunches together during the week. If you don't know how to cook, you can take part in the team's activities (cutting food, setting the table, washing dishes, shopping, refuelling the boat, washing the deck). We usually have dinner in restaurants, unless it's a wild cove.
It's enough to follow safety precautions: don't sit on your phone, don't go unnecessarily down to the cabin when riding the waves, drink Dramina on day 1 and 2 for better adaptation, look at the horizon, relax and enjoy the masterpieces of nature.
The team is usually made up of interesting, educated, broad-minded people who make the trip even brighter. We do not invite people who consider the trip as an alco-tour, but welcome moderate or no alcohol consumption.
Of course, it is possible and necessary to introduce children from the age of 3 to the sense of freedom that yachting offers. We separate groups with and without children on different yachts.
Our journeys are for everyone, regardless of preparation

One, the yacht doesn't roll over. It is balanced by the keel, which is underneath the yacht. It is a counterweight 2-3 metres long and weighs 5-7 tonnes.
The second thing is that we always sail along the coast. We stay overnight in a closed bay or marina.
Third - we do not go to sea in bad weather forecast.
Fourthly, the yacht has rescue equipment, life jackets, boats, rocket launchers, radios. If even theoretically something happened, you will not have time to swim, as the helicopter will arrive.
And the fifth - if you don't get seasick in a car, you will feel great on a yacht if you follow safety rules.
