With the exciting news that Queenslanders can now travel freely in Queensland, smaller more intimate travel experiences are looking to be the preferred choice for many.

As we brush the dust of the suitcases, what better place to start than the remote beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.

For many years the majority of people seeing the reef would do so on a day trip as part of a large group.  Large vessel operators and can host up to 400 passengers on board in close proximity.  After COVID-19, it may be some time before this is considered safe to restart. Virus aside, we know that there is a huge difference between mass tourism and the experience of an intimate luxury escape.  The custom itinerary, dedicated crew attention, and remote areas we can access are topped off by luxury touches and first-class amenities.  There really is no comparison. If you think you have ‘seen’ the reef by doing a day trip, think again.  

Here at Aroona Luxury Boat Charters, we are small group specialists.  With 3 guest staterooms, we can cater for a maximum of 9 people on overnight trips, making the experience ideal for the family adventure, couple’s retreat or corporate rewards package. Aroona has great capability and plenty of room onboard for reef adventures.  Our crew are highly experienced, with your safety as the primary concern. You will welcome the spoils of our 5-star chef after a day of exploring the Coral Sea and beyond.

We look forward to showing you the best of the Great Barrier Reef, a beauty that awaits discovery regardless of any troubles that may exist back here on the surface. Get in touch here:
