Bareboat Yacht Charters is a family-owned business that has operated from Tin Can Bay and Great Sandy Strait Marina for more than six years. Our cruising area encompasses an area much more vast than Whitsunday bareboat charters and much more sheltered and serene than many rent a yacht destinations around the world.
Our mission is:
To provide our discerning clientele with outstanding, reliable service and world-class chartered yacht and cruiser holidays in one of the world’s most idyllic maritime destinations.

Bareboat Yacht Charters operates a luxury fleet of superior vessels, built by internationally renowned and respected shipwrights, including Leopard, Fountaine Pajot, Seawind and Tasman.
Each vessel has been customised to our exacting standards, which we are confident will exceed your expectations.
We offer our clients the unique opportunity to sail or cruise the pristine waterways of World Heritage-listed Fraser Island, where sightings of sea turtles, dugongs and dolphins are a daily occurrence. From July to November, your vessel is your own private viewing platform, where you can watch the magnificent humpback whales frolic in Hervey Bay with their calves.
Charterers have the flexibility of choosing whether they skipper themselves, engage in an assisted cruise for the first day, or hire an experienced skipper with intimate knowledge of the area for the duration of their holiday. We also offer extended charters, commencing from the southern edge of one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef.
Many of our astute clientele have chartered vessels from charter companies around the world, including the popular Whitsunday yacht charters, and they all agree. The incomparable experience afforded by Bareboat Yacht Charters, the peaceful solitude of the destination, the natural beauty of the waterways, the superior vessels in our fleet and the experienced professionalism of our staff, make us their first choice for charter holidays.
