Private Luxury Yacht Charter Port Douglas – Sunset Sail

On Board Your Private Luxury Yacht

After everyone is personally welcomed on board the boat by the crew, your sunset sail trip begins.  The yacht will slowly motor out of the Port Douglas Reef Marina, past the iconic palm trees of Anzac park. The sails will be hoisted once the yacht reaches the open waters of the Great Barrier Reef. The only sound from thereon will be the gentle flapping of the sails and the lapping of the waves splashing against the boats hull amidst laughter and talking with the clicking of cameras.

To see the setting sun go down in the distance behind the majestic rainforest mountains of the Daintree & Cape Tribulation region is a sight to behold. As the sun sets in this tropical region you can see the sky all around you transform into a myriad of brilliant colours which also reflects off the water giving you some absolutely brilliant photographic opportunities. If the wind is up a little it makes for even more of a personal experience as you may get to go to the helm and have a turn at steering the yacht yourself under the watchful eye of the skipper.

Should any of your guests fear the possibility of seasickness this is the perfect charter boat as she is a wide beamed catamaran that does not heel from side to side in the waves. She cruises along with a very slight up and down motion if there is any possibility of winds which is quite rare in the evenings. 

 In the sheltered protected water of the Great Barrier Reef the boat will navigate smoothly around the point of Anzac Park to Four Mile Beach before returning (depending on the wind direction).

This immaculate 62 foot luxury yacht is a Lagoon 620 and was built in 2011.

Since she is a catamaran with two stabilising hulls she has wide beams allowing for plenty of space for guests to move about the boat to socialise whilst holding drinks glasses and plates of food. The galley is spacious enabling caterers to prepare and serve the food in comfort. Your private charter boat even comes with a BBQ on the back deck if you prefer more relaxed catering with some prawns and steaks. Normally, food is served as al fresco canapes.

There is an inside dining table that seats 6, so if you would like a catered sunset formal dinner this option can also be discussed.

Guests can sit inside and socialise in the huge saloon or out on the foreword deck where there are padded seating day beds or on the top deck where there is room for 23 people comfortably.

As the last sunset glows extinguish beyond the horizon and the guests’ last ‘ooohs’ and ‘aahs’ have been uttered the yacht will make its way back to the Port Douglas Reef Marina. This still gives ample time for all on board to carry on enjoying the beauty of the sailing adventure. The visually spectacular site of this tropical sunset will be something your sailing colleagues will talk about and remember for a very long time.    

This yacht is not available for overnight trips but if you wish to have an overnight or longer charter then you can contact us with regards to other suitable yachts available for longer private charters.

We highly recommend you book your private charter months or even a year in advance as she sails on a daily basis on scheduled departures so the boat will need to be reserved for your events timing requirements.
