Still to come is the spectacular Hinchinbrook Island 🥾🌿, with its breathtaking scenery, crystal-clear waters, and unforgettable walking experiences.

This is one of South Passage’s most popular adult voyages each year ❤️⛵️—combining sailing, walking, adventure, friendship, and some of North Queensland’s most beautiful island destinations.

Thankyou to our passengers, and volunteers who came aboard for our 5-day Whitsunday sailing voyage! ⚓⛵️

This was one for the general public, and what a voyage it turned out to be — fair winds, great company, plenty of hands-on sailing, learning the ropes, and exploring some truly spectacular anchorages along the way.

One of the highlights of the trip was Harbo’s legendary Shindig at Cape Upstart with his family — good times, great hospitality, and memories made under the stars. 🌊🔥

From hauling lines to sharing stories on deck, it was an adventure to remember.

Until our wake crosses again… see you all out on the water soon!

Who do you know that would love an adventure under sail?

South Passage on its Whitsunday sailing voyage left Queens Bay at Bowen this morning, heading for a special shore excursion at Cape Upstart.

The crew will enjoy a beachside shack BBQ dinner, karaoke, and plenty of laughs. Our superstar volunteer, Dave Harbinson, organised this special event with his friends who live there.

Look out for the pictures tomorrow!

Yesterday we had the most incredible day on our Whitsunday Adult Voyage aboard South Passage! 🌊⛵

We explored the stunning Whitehaven Beach, walked from Hill Inlet up to the breathtaking Whitehaven lookout, then sailed across to beautiful Nara Inlet for the afternoon. We went ashore to visit the caves and see the incredible Aboriginal paintings — such a special experience.

To top it all off, we finished the day with one of Hugh’s delicious stews. What a day! ☀️✨

Definitely living our best life out here!”

Great day aboard South Passage in Mackay today! ⚓️🌊

Navy Cadets from Mackay joined us on board to learn the ropes of sailing — from navigation and helming to teamwork on deck. Plenty of hands-on experience, new skills, and smiles all around as they enjoyed time out on the water.

Fantastic to see the next generation embracing seamanship and adventure sailing! ⛵️
