FAQ

Thank you for choosing ProSail. The following are the answers to the most commonly asked questions and will assist you when recommending our cruises

What do I need to bring?

Boardie/bathers, beach towel, bath towel (on the Maxi's), change of clothes, sweatshirt/fleece (in winter), sunscreen, camera, hat, sunnies, thongs/sandals and your favourite music.

Please make sure all your goodies are in a small soft bag (no suitcases).

All our vessels have IPOD compatible stereos.

Is it going to be hot?

Yes, if it's summer time in tropical North Queensland take plenty of sunscreen with you and a hat. In the evenings we'll try and cool the boat down but it will still be warm.

If you prefer, sleep on deck and enjoy the cooler breeze. If it rains there is nothing we can do - think of it as a new, hot, wet adventure!

What do we do during the cruise?

Just about anything! The difference between a good cruise and a great cruise is your involvement. Swim, snorkel, play on the beach, learn to sail, bush walk, relax, party at a resort - it's your choice. There are only two things we cannot do - read minds and control the weather! Prosail pride itself on the fact we have no fixed itinerary.

Is there water on the boat?

Yes, but if you drink a lot of water we recommend that you take a couple of litres of spring water. It's refreshing, tastes good and can be chilled on board.

Can I help out with the sailing of the boat?

Yes, just ask the crew.

Do I need to bring my own drinks?

All ProSail overnight boats are BYO - alcohol, soft drinks, spring water, juice and chocolates.

Please make sure that you bring an adequate supply as there aren't any shops out there!!

No glass please!

Is there shade on the boat?

Yes, all ProSail boats have sun shades. They will provide some protection from the sun but you must continue to apply sunscreen at regular intervals. Unfortunately we cannot sail with the sun shades up.

Where can I store my bag?

Either at your hotel or hostel, ask at check in.

Can I take my camera/video?

Yes, it's a must! However, it is very important to take note that our insurance does not cover cameras. Under no circumstances can we accept liability. Please be sure to take special care of them.

Can I scuba dive?

Yes!! ProSail offers scuba diving on all of our trips for Broomstick, Condor, Hammer, Eureka ll, On Location and Bliss and of course on Private Charters.

This is a rendezvous service where we meet the dive boat out there. Please let our staff at check in know that you would like to dive.

Is choosing to cruise with ProSail the right decision?

Absolutely! The company has won three Whitsunday Tourism Awards and two AFTA awards back to back as well as the Queensland Tourism Awards as best Tour & Transport Operator - Significant.

ProSail is Eco tourisim acredited and made up of highly enthusiastic professional staff whose sole reason for being is to treat you, our guest, to what 92% of travellers say was the highlight of their trip around Oz. This is a unique experience that you are about to participate in, so sit back, relax and be prepared for a truly great adventure.

Snorkeling Suits

Wearing a lycra ‘Snorkel Suit’ will prevent UV exposure and significantly reduce your risk to potential stings. Prosail has made it compulsory that guests wear a snorkel suit or full length wetsuit if you wish to swim or snorkel from our vessels. Prosail has organised the hire of a snorkel suit for you at no extra charge.

You will be met by “Mrs.Snorkel” just before you depart, where she will fit you with a snorkel suit for your trip. Skippers have a duty of care at sea and reserve the right to refuse you entry to the water if you do not have a suitable snorkel suit.
