2 DAY 1 Night MAXI SAILING
Maxi Sailing is great fun and high on adventure.
Maxi’s are large yachts over 22 metres in length,
they are the Formula 1 of Whitsunday Charter
Yachts. Being fast means that in only 2 days you
will get to see more of the Whitsundays. Plus you’ll
be happy you are on a Maxi, when by wind power
alone (very Eco Friendly), you sail by other yachts
like they are standing still! Group sizes of 22 to
29 guests, meet other social like minded adventure
travellers.... Don’t be surprised if there’s a bit of a
party in the evening.
Maxi’s are social and fun!
