Broomstick departs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturday at 2:00pm (Day One) and returns at 11:00am on Wednesdays, Fridays and Mondays (Day Three) in line with her sister boats Boomerang, British Defender and Condor. This two day/two night sailing adventure is tailor made for 18-35’s, although this vessel also embraces those “young at heart”. With larger than average headroom downstairs in the galley, our 6ft tall guests don’t have anything to worry about with this yacht!

As with most overnight sailing adventures, the trip itself has no set itinerary as it varies every week depending on tidal and wind conditions. As a guideline, generally expect three to four hours on Whitehaven Beach, a bushwalk to the lookout at Hill Inlet, and two to four snorkel sites at various reefs around The Whitsunday Islands.

Inclusions on this vessel:

• All marine park fees and taxes (no more to pay!)
• Hands on sailing with guest encouraged to assist the crew
• All meals on boar including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
• Non-alcoholic drinks
• All snorkelling equipment and wetsuits/stinger suits
• All linen, blankets and bath towels

Accommodation:

• 16 single bunks (dorm style)
• 6 double bunks (dorm style)
• Please note that Broomstick doesn’t offer private cabins. If you don’t mind sharing an open space and socialising, then this is the boat for you. Very popular with solo travellers.

Scuba Diving:

Broomstick is a rendezvous dive boat, which means that although there is no diving equipment on board the yacht – it does offer the chance for guests to try it as it does meet up with another vessel for guests who would like to give it a go. All scuba dives must be pre-booked prior to departure. All dives are subject to physical fitness and health, and certified scuba divers must bring their PADI or AUSI card with them. All tanks, weights and gear are included in the rate. Guests are permitted to do one dive per trip at $65.00 per person per dive.
