Places to Explore on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia

 The Coral Sea & Osprey Reef

Australia's Coral Sea marine region is a remote ocean ecosystem recognised for its unique physical, ecological and heritage values. The Coral Sea islands and associated reefs support critical nesting sites for 6 of the 7 sea turtle species in the world along with a range of seabird species such as noddies, terns, boobies, frigatebirds and tropic birds.

These pristine sections of the Great Barrier Reef are also renowned for the diverse range of predatory fish such as albacore, yellowfin and bigeye tuna, broadbill swordfish, marlin and sharks that regularly pass through them.

Lying 110 kilometres north east of the northern Great Barrier Reef, Osprey Reef rewards the diver and snorkeller with 40m+ visibility and if the season’s right, the chance to see schooling hammerhead sharks, dogtooth tuna and other pelagic species.

The Gulf of Carpentaria

This warm and shallow expanse of water is bordered by Queensland to the east with the Northern Territory to the west. With over 20 river systems draining into the pristine, mangrove lined shores of East Arnhemland and the Cape York Peninsula, it creates an incredibly productive region for some of the best fishing grounds in the world.

The dry season lasts from about April until November and is characterized by very dry southeast to east winds, generated by migratory winter high pressure systems to the south. The green season lasts from December to March.

Fish from custom designed tenders, dine on the catch of the day, prepared by our world class Chef, and at the end of the day relax on the deck of the luxury motor yacht while enjoying a beverage.
