wide range of stunning anchorages

While exploring on a multi day bareboat charter, you'll also find a number of anchorages, such as Wathumba Creek, that feature white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters like something off a postcard. This is the Fraser Coast's answer to Whitehaven Beach and perfect for pure relaxation. Other anchorages also feature old shipwrecks to explore, lighthouses, historical sites and short walks to get the body moving in nature.

Teeming with marinelife

It's not just the sailing conditions that make the Fraser Coast a marine mecca - the region is teeming with marine life encounters that will leave you speechless. We're talking about fish, dugong, dolphins, turtles and the beautiful Humpback whales to visit between July and October each year. The Fraser Coast is also home to one of the most diverse fisheries in Australia, the fishing action around here is incredible.
