Cairns & the Great Barrier Reef Yacht Charter

Your Guide to Yacht Charter in Cairns & the Great Barrier Reef

Does a Great Barrier Reef yacht charter inspire images of lazy afternoons, laidback Aussie humor and perhaps a cold beer at dusk? How about, "Throw another shrimp on the barbie...". Ahh, the distinct memory of summers past. Growing up in Queensland, I'm probably the best person to tell you, exactly what you're missing. I can't say enough about the riches of North Queensland and the benefits of a yacht chartering, around Cairns. It really has got something for everyone, and each attraction could stand-alone and still be impressive. One of the highlights of a yacht charter in North Queensland is The Great Barrier Reef. It is one of the world's seven natural wonders; Bedarra Island Resort is within easy sailing distance: it is one of the worlds top ten. If you'd like a break from your yacht charter and the beautiful oceans of North Queensland, visit the Daintree rainforest: one of the world's most ancient. What better place to go for your sailing vacation? A little bit of trivia for you - The Great Barrier Reef boasts the biggest structure of living organisms on earth. It stretches for around 2500 km along the coast of Queensland, resting only 50km from the coastline, in the North. As a protected national park, some of the coral and sea life that you'll find here will blow you away. Like the Whitsunday Islands, a sailing vacation in Northern Queensland will provide you with everything you could want, from five star luxury, to idyllic and tranquil perfection. You need not stray far to find sheltered bays for anchoring, resorts with moorings, or fully services marina's.
