Chartered Portland Roads for 6 days this June. Lovely yacht and the company was absolutely great to deal with.The cruising ground is fabulous. Will definitely be back to do more. A big thank you to Mike and Deano for their patience and attention to detail. Highly recommend this company.
We have recently returned from an amazing trip on "***". Thank you to *** for being fantastic at our briefing and for planning our trip with plenty of tips and sights to enjoy along the way. "***" was incredibly comfortable for 7 people with plenty of room to move and the facilities were excellent. A great family holiday with memories and photos that we will cherish forever. Thanks *** and Portland Roads, we will definitely recommend and return to enjoy again one day. ***
It was the experience of a life time. Words cannot describe just how breathtaking the setting was. We were fully relaxed and fully submerged in the most stunning natural environment. *** set us up with all the information we needed. We were fully informed on safety regarding swimming and felt in no danger. I encourage everyone to do it. Its a must!
*** was an amazing skipper. His friendly and easy going manner meant he fitted into our group like he'd known us for years. We had the best time and he even let us beat him at cards! A once in a lifetime adventure and the boat was great. Best wishes for the continued success of your business and thanks a tonne ***.
This was truly amazing holiday right from the start with *** welcoming us on to *** the sailing catamaran sharing his knowledge of the islands and making sure we were comfortable with operating the boat it was an experience that will go down as one of the best
What an amazing experience. Thats one off my bucket list.The Whitsundays is a fantastic place to visit. I would recommend Portland Roads to anyone.Our briefer Deano was terrific and nothing was too much trouble. Ÿ‘
I sailed on both Ruby Sunday and Portland Roads, two beautiful boats in paradise. Stunning turquoise waters, white sands, gorgeous views and of course snorkeling with huge Maori wrasse and feeding bat fish right off the boat. Could not ask for a better trip!
Just returned from my second Whitsundays sailing trip with Portland Roads - what an amazing experience, again! A truly professional company who go out of their way to make your holiday comfortable, exciting, adventurous, and so much fun. Will be back for a third trip!
I loved this holiday. My second time on Whitsundays - the most beautiful and stress free sailing in the world. "Southern Man", our home for a week, was well equipped and a perfect fit for 4 couples. *** provided an excellent briefing & did everything he could to help us get the very best from our stay. We definitely will be back.
Great experience on the 42 foot 16 tonne Lagoon Sail Catamaran œLucy. The key is their front man Deano who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of sailing the Whitsundays and is a full of fun character to boot. Available all hours by satellite phone if issues of problems arise. Highly recommended.

You’ll grab up to 8 family and friends to join you (loosely called your crew).
Then for as little as $199 per person, per sailing day, you will become the skipper and sail the Ngaro Waters and Islands of the Whitsundays (74 islands, but who’s counting?)
For 6 days / 5 Nights you will live in and on the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.
You will slip into Whitsundays time where your week with us will feel more like the most relaxing month of your life. You will live aboard one of our Lagoon Sailing Catamarans, sipping bubbles at sunset and cooking up a storm in the galley.
You will leave as a new custodian of our extraordinary reef and realise that adventure still lives in us all – No experience is necessary!
