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.
