Wedding anniversary highlight
''We celebrated our 30-year wedding anniversary with a seven-night charter aboard Chantilly. What a fabulous experience that exceeded all expectations! We are taking back memories and new sailing skills that will be enjoyed with all the photos. A big thank you to Mike Dicker (WRAY's briefer) for an amazing private sailing session, which left us with a new found passion '' |

Thumbs up from Queensland Weekender
''Awesome couple of days on board our Lagoon 380 - was easy to sail and the navigational aids made cruising safe and easy! There's no better way to experience the Whitsundays - bushwalks to Aboriginal cave paintings - catching fish as the sun sets. A bareboat charter is about freedom - sail the boat as hard as you can or drop the pick and read a book. I will be back ... soon!'' |
