Magnetic Island Sailing Cruise ex Townsville
After a short ferry ride from Townsville to the paradise of Magnetic Island, you'll board a luxury sailing yacht for a few hours of sailing, relaxation, fun and a delicious grazing platter.
Sail along the breathtaking Magnetic Island coastline with its impressive granite boulders and hoop pines before anchoring in one of the secluded bays. There you'll have plenty of time to have a swim, stroll on the beach and relax, before enjoying a locally sourced grazing platter served with organic wines and local beers or soft drinks.
While at anchor experience the local wildlife up close and personal - observe batfish and other reef fish, kites, sea eagles, and turtles.
Our friendly, knowledgeable crew will share insights into the area and its vibrant marine life. They will also give you the opportunity to steer the yacht or learn a bit about sailing during your journey, if you wish.
A day of fun and relaxation to remember.
