We have previously chartered boats in different places. Cumberland Charter Yachts delivered one of the best experiences we have had. Everything from the initial enquiry and booking to the on board briefing and departure were handled professionally and we were satisfied with our decision to use Cumberland Charter Yachts.

The yacht was exceptionally clean and well presented. The briefing team took the time to explain the vessel and passed on their excellent knowledge on Anchorage areas, snorkeling areas and we were cautioned and well prepared for the adverse weather conditions we experienced.

We were comfortable with the twice daily check ins from the office. We visited the recommended tourism sites and loved the Whitehaven beach, walks and look out points.
Cumberland Charter Yachts provided us with the best back up and support. We will definitely be back for another bareboat holiday

🤔 Not sure if you have enough boating experience to skipper your own yacht in the Whitsundays?

You're not alone — it's one of the most common questions we get asked.

That's why we've created our free Experience Calculator. In just a few minutes, you'll get a better understanding of how your boating background compares, what experience we're looking for and whether a bareboat charter, extra tuition, or a Sail Guide may be the best fit for you. It's a guide only, but it's a great starting point. 🚤⛵

Remember, bareboat suitability isn't about licences or qualifications — it's about practical boating knowledge, confidence and experience on the water and the additional support we provide when you're out there.

✅ Takes only a few minutes
✅ Instant result
✅ Helps you choose the right level of support to get you out on the water.

🐋 They’re Here Early! ✨

The first humpback whales of the season have already arrived in the Whitsundays, kicking off one of the region’s most spectacular natural events.

There’s nothing quite like spotting a whale from your own bareboat charter. No crowds, no rush—just you, your crew, and these incredible giants in their natural habitat. Whether it’s a distant breach, a tail slap, or a curious whale passing by, every encounter feels truly magical.

Whale season has officially begun. Who's ready to experience it for themselves? 💙⛵
