Whitsunday Cruising and diving holidays

Arriving at the marina around 12.45 pm is the beginning of your Powerplay experience - Waiting to welcome you aboard our magnificent Powerplay catamaran are our skipper, chef and Dive Instructor. After an onboard vessel briefing, we steam out to explore the very best the Whitsundays have to offer. At twice the speed of a sailing boat, we cruise effortlessly across turquoise waters to shortly arrive at stunning Mantaray Bay.

Here is your first opportunity to climb in the water and experience for yourself what the Whisundays is all about. Put on the snorkel or strap on a scuba tank, our magnificent coral reef is yours to explore. Be awed by huge Maori Wrasse or say hello to a giant Groper. Many of the fish are very tame and will swim right up to inspect you .

After a generous session of in water excitement Powerplay launches off towards her evening anchorage. The nightly location varies according to prevailing weather conditions, but our favourites are Cid Island or Macona Inlets. Watch the sunset over the islands as you lounge around in our heated foredeck spa bath sipping a chilled drink - where else in the world could you possibly want to be?

After dinner, kick back and watch a digital slide show of the days happenings or take in a movie on the flatbed screen in Powerplays large saloon…. After a last glance across the shimmering waters of the harbour, you fall into your huge, comfy berth and enjoy the best nights' sleep you've ever had while Powerplay floats peacefully in her secluded anchorage..

Day Two...
Dont sleep in – there’s too much to do! The crew are up early to make you a cuppa and prepare your fabulous continental breakfast and shortly after we head off to our first Dive location of the day. Meet Nemo up close, we can take you to several locations where these intriguing little fish hide out.

After an exciting morning in and under the water we head off to visit the vast silica sands of magnificent Whitehaven Beach. See just why this beach is rated the most beautiful in the world. It will take your breath away. Wading through crystal clear water over brilliant fine white sand with the ocean vista before you is an experience never to be forgotten and another highlight of your Powerplay cruise.

The view of Whitehaven beach from the
lookout is one of the Islands best attractions.

Having fun on Whitehaven beach
Join the gang for a game of cricket, volleyball, swim, snorkel or laze on the world's finest beach. You may never want to leave but after a superb lunch of cold cuts and crisp salad on fluffy buns or bread wraps, we up anchor to visit one of the many sensational islands fringed by stunning coral reef.
