And Airlie Beach is also home to the largest bareboat yacht charter fleet in the South Pacific providing Whitsunday yacht charters to the exquisite Whitsunday Islands. Take your pick from luxury 60ft sailing yachts, motorised cruisers and explore the National Park islands, fringing reefs and deserted beaches at your leisure.
