Kayami Private Charters

Your Boat. Your Day. Your Whitsundays.

‍Escape the crowds. Set your own course.

Imagine having a beautiful 44-foot sailing yacht entirely to yourself for the day.

No crowded boats. No strangers. No fixed schedule. Just your family, friends or special group, your own experienced RYA-certified skipper, and the freedom to experience the Whitsundays your way.

Welcome aboard Kayami.

With space for up to eight guests, Kayami offers an exclusive and personalised way to explore the spectacular Whitsunday Islands. Spend your day swimming in crystal-clear waters, snorkelling colourful reefs, relaxing on pristine beaches or simply sailing through one of Australia’s most beautiful island destinations.

And because this is your private charter, the day is yours.

Want to get involved? Help hoist the sails, take the helm and experience what it is like to sail a 44-foot yacht under the guidance of your skipper. Prefer to sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery?

That’s perfectly fine too. Your skipper will take care of the sailing while you enjoy the sunshine, the sea and the company of your own group.

Just 8 guests.

One beautiful yacht.

Your own private Whitsunday adventure.

Your Day. Your Way.

There is something special about having your own yacht in the Whitsundays.

You aren’t simply following an itinerary. You have the freedom to enjoy the places you visit at your own pace.

Stay a little longer at a beautiful snorkelling spot. Spend more time on the beach. Find a quiet anchorage for lunch. Enjoy a little more sailing when the conditions are perfect.

Your skipper will work with you to create the best possible day, while always taking into account the weather, wind, tides and conditions.

Our suggested itineraries below give you an idea of what your private charter could look like, but no two days on the water need to be the same.

Full-Day Private Charter

Spend a full day exploring the Whitsunday Islands aboard Kayami.

Why rush home?

Take your Whitsunday adventure further with a private overnight charter aboard Kayami.

Wake up surrounded by the islands, enjoy unhurried days on the water and experience the quieter side of the Whitsundays after the day boats have returned to shore.

With your own yacht, skipper and itinerary, overnight charters offer a completely different way to experience the islands.

Private Sunset Cruises

There are few better ways to experience the Whitsundays than from the deck of a sailing yacht as the sun begins to disappear over the islands.

Enjoy a private sunset cruise aboard Kayami with your own group, your favourite drinks and the Whitsunday skyline as your backdrop.

Private sunset cruises are available on request.

Important Information

Our suggested itineraries are examples of what may be possible. The final itinerary will always be determined by the skipper based on weather, wind, tides, sea conditions and safe anchorage options on the day.
