Why take bareboat charters when you can enjoy crewed sailing vacations?

It is the greatest sailing vacation on earth! There is no better way to enjoy the tropics than by island hopping from a private ProSail sailing yacht. You can travel to places that only boats can go. Imagine waking up on a private sailing yacht in a different secluded cove each day of your sailing vacations.

Decide whether your day's activity should include a swim, snorkel or scuba dive in aquarium like conditions, some other watersport such as kayaking or water-skiing, a beach stroll, a cross island hike or just relaxing on a sail to another beautiful whitsunday island. You're at ease because you have a crew who, in addition to being your personal tour guides, are looking after the boat, the food and the cleaning. You're on a floating resort where the scenery always changes, the food is prepared as you like it and you never run out of things to do.

When you arrive at your next whitsunday island spot in paradise you may choose again from a host of water sports, or maybe a delicious dinner on deck followed by a quiet night of stargazing or relaxing to music, or maybe you want to go ashore to watch the sunset from atop a hill, have dinner in a small local restaurant and do the limbo at a beachfront bar.

No sailing experience is necessary for these trips. Your skipper and crew will take care of all the responsibilities of the yacht.

Taking a vacation on a fully crewed yacht is very much like staying in an exclusive villa with first rate staff to look after you and make sure you have everything you want. The yacht crew will sail the yacht, cook, pour drinks and take extremely good care of you. The advantage is that your yacht moves when you want, to a new anchorage or new island. You decide where to go, when, what you want to eat and who to take with you.

The Yacht Captain will generally recommend the best itinerary and will know the cruising area very well, the prettiest harbours, quietest beaches and best snorkelling or scuba places. But the choice is yours as the itinerary is always flexible: if you discover a place you particularly love, then you can spend extra time there.

You decide on each day's activities if all you really want to do is relax in a shady cockpit or sunbathe, read a book, swim and snorkel or chat with friends, that's fine too. Or perhaps you want to go ashore and explore resorts, hill climb or shop in local markets, the Captain will make sure you set off in the right direction - he might even come with you. If you're real party people, you might want to go ashore and enjoy local Airlie Beach nightlife. Most charter clients choose to eat at least one dinner ashore during the course of the week to taste some of the local seafood.

On a fully crewed yacht it is not necessary for you to be an experienced sailor - in fact this could be your very first sailing trip. Charter Captains are generally very good teachers and if you want to learn more about sailing, or have a go at the wheel, the Captain will usually be delighted to show you.
