Bucks Parties in the Whitsundays: full day sail

If you’re up for a proper sail and time to enjoy the beaches of the Whitsunday Islands as well, book a full day sail. You’ll have time to really kick back on the deck, experience what it’s like to have the sails up and a knowledgeable local skipper looking after everything, and come back with plenty of photos (and stories) to share.

There’ll be time for lunch ashore with the crew putting on amazing food, to enjoy a few beers, and to dive in for a swim at one of the dozens of incredible swimming spots dotted around the islands.

Sure, it's not the best dive we've seen - but it's great proof of how fun a bucks party on the Whitsundays truly can be

Okay, so that’s not the best dive we’ve seen… but still pretty fun, we think!

Bucks Parties in the Whitsundays: half day sail

No time for a full day out? No problem! Book a half day sail on Waltzing Matilda to spend a relaxed few hours on deck. With Airlie Beach being so close to the islands, there is loads to see even in that timeframe, and at the right time of year you might be treated to the company of migrating whales!

Except with Waltzing Matilda Sailing there’s no need to disappear properly; you’ll be back in time for the big day! (Don’t worry, we’ll make sure of it!)
