Casual sailing @Whitsundays

Private double cabin available for fun, easy-going couple or solo traveller, that would be willing to help out with general boat duties and some light maintenance in between sailing around Whitsunday islands and outer reef, when weather allows.
Itinerary is wide open, departing/returning from Airlie beach, sharing the cost of provisioning is the only expense. Sailing experience isn't required, though happy to teach multi-hull sailing and seamanship.
Boat and captain are both clean and seaworthy. The boat likes to sail rather than motor, captain is a keen hiker, diver, likes fishing, sunset drinks and sharing experiences.
Prefer non-smokers who are positive, clean, tidy and respect personal space.
In the area for winter before the return sail to my home base in southern Tasmania later in the year.

Beautiful Whitsundays Holiday

5

Wayne and I spent one week going around the Whitsundays. As a novice sailor, Wayne was very patient and willing to show me the ropes. I find Wayne a respectful, healthy and a fit man. Moreover, he is a super experienced and knowledgable skipper. The boat is beautiful as well, I got to have my own little space. Most days we went for a little drive to another bay, or went for a hike, or swim; it was an amazing trip!

Sailing with Captain Wayne was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped on board, I felt very welcoming. My cabin was not only comfortable and entire yacht well-kept but also had the perfect amount of space for my yoga practice and some much-needed privacy. Wayne is a true knowledgeable, respectful and always focused on safety. He’s also an awesome sailing coach and encouragement that made the whole experience even better. But beyond all that, Wayne is just a great guy to be around. His love for the ocean is contagious and he’s the kind of person you want to share a voyage with. If you're looking for a top-notch sailing experience with a captain who knows Australia's seas and makes the trip incredible, Wayne’s your North Star ?

Amazing trip

We were 2 girls on a 2 day sailing trip to the Whitsunday Islands. Wayne was very nice and we felt safe and comfortable - a very hospitable person. He had everything under control and you could relax as guests. We can definitely recommend to go sailing with Wayne. Really good experience from here.

Amazing Skipper and Vessel

We would give 10 stars if we could! We sailed around the Whitsundays with Wayne and it is something we will never forget. The timing of our arrivals and sails were skillful - we avoided the crowds and often had the views and water to ourselves. The Quantum Leap is a comfortable boat with plenty of room and great layout. I’m now a catamaran convert. We throughly enjoyed Wayne’s company and loved his passion for sailing… it’s infectious. His knowledge of sailing, the waters, and islands is vast. We would love to sail with him again!

Competent, comfortable and fun!

I've had two seperate trips on this vessel. From Dampier WA through the Kimberley to Darwin. And recently crewing around Airlie. I have also delivered another vessel with the owner/master from Airlie to GC. This vessel is clean and very comfortable with a private cabin and plenty of living space. The master is very competent and knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his knowledge. He is amiable with a dry wit, a good cook and keeps a well maintained, clean vessel. Most importantly he makes the journey loads of fun :) Highly recommended!
