What is included on a Whitsundays sailing trip?
All your meals, your bed on board, snorkelling gear and the park fees. On an overnight trip the boat is your accommodation and the crew cook — so once you step on, the only things you pay for are drinks and any stinger suit hire.
Checked on 6 October 2026.
A sailing trip is unusually all-in, because once the boat leaves the marina there is nowhere to spend money. That is why the headline prices look higher than a day trip and work out cheaper per day.
In the price
- All meals from the first lunch to the last breakfastcooked on board by the crew. Vegetarians and most allergies are catered for if you say when you book.
- Your bed.Cabins with fresh linen on every overnight boat here — nobody sleeps in the common area.
- Snorkelling gearmask, snorkel and fins, and often a wetsuit.
- The marine park feesfor the Whitsundays and Whitehaven Beach.
- The sailing itselfincluding taking a turn on the winches if you want to.
- Tea, coffee and drinking waterthroughout.
What you pay for
- Alcohol.Most boats let you bring your own — the trip page says what the limits are, and they are strict about glass.
- Stinger suitsNovember to May. Some boats include them, some charge a small hire fee.
- Accommodation in Airlie Beachbefore and after. The boats leave mid-morning and return late afternoon, so you need a bed at both ends.
- Transfers to the marinawhich are usually a short walk from the town centre.

The day sails
A day trip includes lunch, snorkelling gear and the park fees but obviously not a bed. They are the cheapest way onto the water and still reach Whitehaven Beach.
