Stay and play

Charter yachts are welcome at any of the Whitsunday resorts. A fee generally applies - between $30 and $80 per vessel per night. The facilities vary at each island, but once you've paid your fee, you're entitled to use facilities such as swimming pools and laundries, and purchase goods such as meals, beverages, ship supplies and souvenirs. You're also welcome to dine out and enjoy the entertainment on offer. For more information about anchoring or mooring at Whitsunday resorts, contact us.
