The crew was absolutely amazing – warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. We felt so well looked after the entire time.
Thank you!!!

The staff were so friendly and experienced. They made us feel very relaxed and pampered.
We enjoyed a sandy beach or you could use the equipment on offer.
A satisfying morning tea and lunch. We bought our own drinks which were kept cold in the fridge.
There are many places to sit on the boat, but we sat down the front on the nets near the Jacuzzi filled with ocean water.
The weather; perfect, the food ; spot on, the ship; feel what it's like to be a millionaire!
To top it off, we saw whales jumping out of the water and their water spray. WHAT A DAY!
BYO towel, bathers, sunscreen, drinks and snacks and your camera!








Having the motor off and both sails open was memorable. A clean , well equipped boat. Beautiful lunch and some great views! Don’t miss getting out in the water with this family owned business! Smiles and happiness all day long!



Such friendly staff, all the way from booking, to the day itself. They are very knowledgeable and happy to talk with the guests.
The food was lovely, and for a vegetarian, who normally struggles on days out, the food was perfect.
Got to snorkel two beautiful sites too.
Thanks Wings Team, will definitely be back, and would definitely recommend.


Such a terrific experience. Thanks 😊


We enjoyed snorkelling on the Fringe Reef at Hook Island, the SUPs and glass-bottom kayaks. My daughter loved looking at shells and coral on the island. Honestly we felt like were in such safe hands the whole time!
Our Cruise Ship transfer was at 8am, so we arrived at Airlie Port at 8.40am. This left plenty of time to get separate transport to the Coral Sea Port for a 9.30am meet. We arrived back at 4pm, so again would have had enough time to get back to the cruise transfer port. The team went out of their way to take all of the cruise ship passengers to our transfer port just to make it easier for us.
They are truly dedicated to making a memorable time for everyone. The team are knowledgeable and we really enjoyed learning about the locations as well. Can't recommend Wings highly enough!
Oh and we even saw a whale!




There were so many to choose from but we went for the more intimate tour rather than the big boat with crowds of people.
Perfect weather, it set the scene for a great day.
Very relaxing, the snorkeling was great and we even got to see some whales.
Staff were 10 out of 10. Nothing was too much trouble.
Would highly recommend.





Amy and Mike went above and beyond to make my daughter's 18th Birthday Sunset sail on the bay, one she will never forget. From the first inquiry to when we stepped foot off the boat, everything was so easy and trouble-free. Every guest said what a wonderful time they had and didn't want it to end. Even though it was very windy, Mike and Amy made us feel very comfortable and the boat was so stable that we forgot all about it!
We were even lucky enough to see whales.
We will definitely be back but this time for a much longer duration!
Thank you again it was so much fun.
Anyone thinking about doing this cruise, Just DO IT you will love every minute!!!
Amy was amazing taking care of our booking, from my first enquiry, and corresponding with me right up until the day of our cruise - handling every option, detail and question I had.
The day of the cruise was nothing short of spectacular with a 5-star rating. The weather was perfect, Mon and Captain Mike were fantastic hosts. The yacht was stunning, spacious and clean, the service amazing and the food was excellent.
The kids were also entertained, after anchoring Mike took the kids out for a spot of knee boarding behind the tinny. Another highlight was jumping off the launching pad into the water and enjoying a refreshing bubbling spa. Definitely a memorable 50th Birthday event, one which will be talked about and remembered in the years to come. We are forever grateful for the experience and your friendly hospitality – you guys are amazing, thank you so very much. We look forward to planning our next sailing adventure with you!
Very highly recommend.
As discussed with Amy in regards to our experience and what she promised, they definitely delivered.
Her husband and Captain of ship took us to an amazing tucked in corner of the Whitsundays, he then anchored us down for a bite to eat and a relaxing swim.
Even when it got a little rocky, he was quick to get us back into the smooth sailing waters.
I would highly recommend the Wings Charter team, we only had the 4hr package but they also do overnight trips.
The sun deck and jumping off from the top was definitely my favourite part.
Again much appreciated Amy, thanks again for making the entire experience easy from our first contact til last as I was walking off the boat. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mike anchored in the most perfect of spots after our sail, perfect for the most stunning sunset wedding day photos.
We would not hesitate to book with Wings again! And you should too!










From the moment we stepped on the marina we were welcomed by the crew, and we gratefully accepted help with our luggage. Once on board we were introduced to our fabulous skipper who ran through a quick but informative safety briefing and exciting overview of the upcoming days. The friendly crew brought out a delicious cheese platter which we enjoyed taking in views of Airlie Beach as we sailed away to enjoy a stunning sunset. Relaxation was instant.
Once moored for the night they switched on the blue light and we saw lots of fish, squid and even some cheeky dolphins! The beds and facilities were so comfortable. The boat layout is well thought out, lots of space to find your own perfect spot to relax. Great new deck up the top. Wings has everything you need, even some super fun board games which were great for a laugh, speaker system to enjoy our own music and the large monitor was perfect to play the birthday girl a special photo montage!
The itinerary is very well thought out, with the skipper taking extra care in our interests and wishes. We appreciated that he had timed the route perfectly to miss the crowds.
The locations were absolutely stunning. There was plenty of time off the boat for beach swimming, snorkelling, paddle boards and kayaking (the glass bottoms are fabulous way to see the reef). We walked up through forests filled with birds and butterflies to two beautiful lookouts (we chose the easy walks, but longer walks were an option). Jumping off the boat to swim among hundreds of beautiful fish is definitely going to be a lifelong highlight! And while this trip sounds full of activity, it really was beautifully relaxing whenever we wanted it be.
The crew have thought of everything. All you need is a few drinks, maybe a few favourite snacks, water bottle plus your beach bag! Wings Sailing Charters have thought of everything else including bedding, good food, fun activities and friendly crew who go out of their way to ensure you have fabulous trip. Service and experience both outstanding - highly recommend!! I would say it’s a special “once in a lifetime” holiday, but I know for a fact we will be back!
