About this tour
Spend two days aboard your own private catamaran with a qualified skipper hunting humpbacks along the Fraser Coast. This overnight charter takes you into the Great Sandy Strait, a UNESCO-listed marine sanctuary where these massive creatures migrate past Australia's eastern seaboard. You'll have the boat entirely to yourself, with full meals provided and all the space and flexibility to watch whales on your own terms.

What to expect
You'll depart from Boat Club Marina and head into the Great Sandy Strait, where humpbacks pass during their annual migration. The skipper navigates while you watch from the deck or relax between sightings. Expect a working boat experience rather than a floating resort—the focus is on whale encounters and the rhythm of the ocean. Overnight you'll anchor in the strait, with time to settle into your cabin before dinner and early starts for dawn watching. The catamaran has shared bathroom facilities (the skipper uses one of two), and the galley serves home-cooked meals throughout the journey.
Good to know
Bring your own drinks. Transport to Boat Club Marina is your responsibility. Notify the operator of dietary requirements at booking. All fitness levels welcome. The skipper requires access to one shared bathroom onboard.
