For most a tandem skydive is usually a once in a lifetime experience an adventure to mark a milestone, a thrill to let you know you're still alive or perhaps just a bucket list activity. But for owners Jay and Mel it turned out to be much more than that and 15 years on their love for skydiving only keeps growing. Our playground is 14,000ft above the earth, some people call it a job, but really, when you're having as much fun as we do I'm pretty sure it's no longer classified as a job. We love what we do and we love sharing the experience of skydiving with as many people as we can, which is evident when you meet the crew. Our team of experienced skydivers are fully accredited with the Australian Parachute Federation (APF) and combined we have over 100 years of skydiving experience. We are a fun loving bunch of professionals who remember that although it may be our 5th skydive for the day, it's your 1st. More

Lynne & John Boyce share their intimate knowledge of the Whitsunday water wonderland and welcome you to their yacht "Sydney Sundancer", which has been likened to a five star floating resort. Sailing, snorkelling, scuba diving, reef walking, whale watching, uninhabited island exploration and gourmet meals together with award winning wines are just some of the daily highlights. It’s hard for visitors to choose from so many vessels operating in the Whitsundays’, but we believe, as a husband and wife team who are extremely passionate about the area, that we offer our guests a very very special experience. Not only are we the only charter yacht offering shared cruises (cabin bookings) based at Hamilton Island, but we are also the only charter yacht in the Whitsundays offering 7 day 7 night expedition voyages of discovery. Another very important consideration when choosing your vessel, is if there will be children aboard. We guarantee that if you book a cabin, there will be no person aboard aged less than 18, because guests who wish to have a family holiday with their children, are required to privately charter our yacht.
