Real reviews from travellers who've done this tour, gathered from around the web and paraphrased.
AI summary of 18 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the crew, who are described as friendly, funny, knowledgeable and attentive, as well as the food on board, which many single out as plentiful and tasty, including good vegetarian and special diet options. The snorkelling excursions, where reviewers report seeing abundant fish, corals and turtles, and the visit to Whitehaven beach feature prominently, with several noting stunning views and relatively uncrowded spots. Many reviewers highlight the relaxed, social atmosphere and the ease of meeting other travellers from around the world, and several mention good sailing weather. The most common caveat concerns the sleeping arrangements, with reviewers describing the boat as a tight squeeze, the beds as short, the cabins as warm, and the nights as occasionally short or noisy, though several add that this did not spoil the experience and that sleeping under the stars was an option.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Amazing Whitsunday Tour”
Prosail absolutely smashed it with this tour, the boat was so nice, the food was amazing and fresh (fab veggie meals best chef Nate), the staff were legends and the places they took us to snorkel were unbelievable (saw so many turtles and fish!) Highly recommend booking thru Prosail, so worth the cost and Josh the owner is an absolute legend. Thank you Joey, Josh, Courtney and Nathan for an unforgettable time
“Sailing at its best!”
I had the best two days on one of the ProSail boats during my tour of the Whitsunday islands. We had incredible sail weather with lots of sun and wind. Next to the amazing group of people on board the crew made this trip super special. Instead of some being just animators, all the crew members were enthusiastic sailors and worked hard to make this the best sailing adventure. Friends of mine that went on the bigger boats like the Clipper or New Horizons were actually jealous of our sailing trip. ProSail is hands down the best company to book your Whitsundays tour with!
“Amazing time!”
We die the 2 day/1 night hammer tour with Sas, James and Nathan and had a blast! Food was amazing, crew took really good care about their passengers and the locations were absolutely stunning!
“Hammer for a chill but awesome time”
We stayed on the hammer for two days/One night. It is a tight squeeze aboard the hammer but the crew make the experience. Sas, nate and James were very knowledgeable about all the places we stopped and the snorkling was an amazing experience. You will not go hungry either and the food was second to none. Overall a fantastic experience and a must do while in airlie beach.
“Amazing experience”
Had a fabulous time onboard with taula, jack and sas. Some much sun, sailing, snorkelling and fed until we couldn’t eat anymore. So relaxing!!
“Hammer was a fricken awesome time”

“Great Scenery and Fun Times”
The Hammer was an amazing time. Me and two other single friends went on the Hammer for 2 days / 1 night. Had an amazing time, good was delicious, met some awesome friends and Jay, Lacey and Sas were awesome hosts. Would recommend to anybody looking to spend 2 days at the Whitsundays.
“We loved it!”
I went on a one night day tour on the Hammer with friends! The views were amazing! We came from Ireland on a 3 week holiday and it was definitely one of the highlights! The crew (Ellen, James and Nathan) were amazing! The food was fantastic unreal..( shout out to the super chef, the nachos were our favourite). I'll never forget the views! Ellen the captain was fab because she stopped on the way to pick up some plastic in the water (safely of course)..I was very impressed...#greenhero! We all felt safe and in good hands throughout! Also Nathan played a cool Game in the evening with us which was fun! Thank you again to all the crew for making our trip the best! From Huge Irish Fans!
“Amazing Trip”
Thanks to Prosail and the amazing Crew, we had an amazing trip to the Whitsundays which we will never forget. Sas, James and Nathan did their best to keep everyone on board as happy as possible and they were the best crew we could've possibly gotten. Their entertaining way of explaining everything on board provided a relaxed and easy atmosphere in board. The snorkel spots were great and we saw lots of beautiful corals and fishes. Whitehaven beach was one of the most amazing beaches we've ever seen in our lives! It actually looks exactly like in the pictures. The food was also great and more than enough for everyone. We would highly recommend this tour, it was definitely one of the highlights of our Australia tour!
“Amazing”
Loads of fun, perfect weather for it! Ellen, Nathan and James amazing guides and sailors. The food was a highlight, followed by naps in the sun on deck. Awesome snorkeling spots. Loads of fish to see. Sleeping arrangements are a little warm but you can sleep under the stars. Would recommend to couples, groups, solo travellers!
“Two perfect days”
It was so great! People from all over the world are on the boot and you get in touch with everyone very easily.
The crew Sas, Jay and Lacey were awesome. Really nice, funny and they know a lot of the whitesundays.
We did two snorklkngs, one with a lot of colourus fish and the other with the different corals. The next day we were on the whitehaven beach! Food was very good.
The night was a bit short, some people want to drink and its a bit loud the hole night, also the beds are short. BUT thats absolutly no problem and its still a racing boat andyou can sleep the next day.
So the hole trip was perfect! Thanks to everybody! We would do it again!
“Great experience!”
We did a 2 days sailing trip on the 8th of November around the Whitsundays with Sas, Lacey and James and it was awesome! Great snorkeling, stunning sunset on the beach and absolutely great food! Didnt expect that! The crew was really caring and sailing with them was really fun.
Thanks a lot, Diana.

“Incredible Experience”
Ive never been to the Whitsunday's before so to see it sailing with a great crew and people from all around the world was a truly amazing experience. It was relaxing, fun and the vibe was perfect. The food was constant and really tasty! If you want a great way to see one of the most beautiful places in Australia, come see it with the Hammer crew!
“Once in a Lifetime”
This sailing adventure with Sas, Jay, and Lacey was the adventure of a lifetime. We were welcomed onto the boat with open arms, fun music, and delicious meals. The snorkeling excursions were not crowded with other beach-goers, and our group was one of the only ones on the white, sandy beaches. Many thanks to this crew for making my first solo vacation one I will never forget!
“Hammer was amazing!”
The people, the food, the crue! Jay, sas and lacey are awesome! They were super friendly! The first day was snorkeling, we had enough time, they took us to two beautiful spots, we saw heaps of fish and corals, even turtles! The next day we went to whitehaven, it was stunning!
