Review of Whit Sunday Rent a Yacht

We had a great time with WRAY onboard the Lukim Yu for a week - having chosen to stay in Oz rather than do much the same thing in New Caledonia. The staff are well organised and easygoing. Everything worked smoothly and the boat was really comfortable and easy to sail. A good choice for first-timers. Minor boat problems we encountered were well handled by the staff onshore via radio - nothing was too much trouble. The Whitsundays are glorious - after early unseasonal rain we had days of blue skies and fresh winds. Diving was good - not like the outer reef but plenty of nice coral, fish etc to make it worthwhile. We also saw dugong, manta rays, lots of turtles and also sighted wedge-tailed eagles, sea eagles and an osprey (Australia's three biggest raptors) in about 10 mins viewing at Cateran Bay. National Parks and
GBRMPA are doing a good job balancing visitor numbers with the environment - beaches and facilities were squeaky clean and a pleasure on the eye and we weren't overwhelmed by other visitors. All-in-all a world-class holiday.
