6 reasons why you need a sailing adventure this summer
The days are getting longer and the heat is starting to kick in, summer must be here! A sailing holiday is calling your name. While the subtropical climate of Hervey Bay means we have good weather year-round, summer calls for getting onto the water and keeping extra cool.
Here’s 6 reasons why a sailing holiday is just what the doctor ordered this year.
You can have a Christmas holiday without the traffic
Does the thought of taking the whole family away only to be met with gridlock traffic make you just want to huddle up at home? Trade the endless car rides for open spaces on the water this summer.
A sailing holiday provides all the room you could possibly need, no crowds AND you get to wake up on the water. Win, win.
Seeing World Heritage-listed Fraser Island from a different perspective
Incase you didn't know already, we have a World Heritage-listed gem in our backyard here on the Fraser Coast.
Travelling the coast of Fraser Island by boat will help you appreciate just how impressive this island is.
The remote western side of island provides stunning views of white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.
Cool off in crystal clear waters
Queensland summer's are brutal but there's no need to sweat it out when you've got a big wide ocean full of swimming spots at your feet. Locations like Pelican Bank provide the perfect opportunity for you to jump in the tender or climb straight off the back of the boat for a dip.
Give the kids some outdoor education away from those screens
One of our favourites things about being out on the water for a few days? Dropping the phones and screens to soak up the great outdoors.
You can bring the kids along for the journey and teach them a love for the ocean.
If they aren't into pitching in? We've got a host of board games for the family to get stuck into and create some quality memories together.
Check out the local wildlife underwater with some of the best snorkelling spots
Pack those masks and snorkels - because just like our neighbours up in North Queensland, the Fraser Coast has lots of hidden spots for you to explore underwater.
Our best pick of the bunch is Wathumba Creek, where you'll find a host of marine life including turtles, rays and more.
World class fishing spots in paradise
This is one for the fishos - pack the rods and join us in paradise where you'll find one of the most diverse fisheries in Australia.
The Great Sandy Strait provides epic spots to catch a range of species year round with added views of Fraser Island as a bonus.
If you're looking for a summer vacation with a twist and are keen to jump on board a sailing catamaran, feel free to browse our bareboat hiring options.
Alternatively, you can jump on board a skippered charter to let someone else take care of the driving for you.
