Thank you, we had the most wonderful holiday and the 5 star luxury of the "Queen Marie" was second to none. We will definitely be back in the future. Our family has travelled extensively overseas and we all agree that sailing the Whitsunday's is the best holiday we have had. We are recommending to all our friends that they put this trip on their ‘bucket list' as a must do in their lifetime and of course we are recommending Whitsunday Escape.
Thank you again for a magical holiday.

Boat Type & Name: Hunter 35 ‘Marmic'
We definitely enjoyed the trip. We were referred to your company via personal recommendation of one of your customers, and we were not disappointed at all. We also were very pleased with the advice and assistance given to us by Frank, our assigned briefer and subsequent sail-guide on the first Monday.
The importance of the level of professional standards maintained within your company became evident when we compared how easy our holiday experience was to that of some other bareboat hirers who had gone through different chartering firms. We shall definitely be strongly recommending your company to others who have already started quizzing us about our experiences.
Please also pass on our appreciation and thanks to all your staff, including office staff and Frank.

Boat Type & Name: Lightwave 38 ‘Miss Polly'
Thanks to all for a great week of bareboating in the Whitsundays. We are really happy with all aspects of the week (even though the weather was below par for this time of year).
‘Miss Polly' is a great boat (It is the 3rd Lightwave that I've chartered and by far the best of any of them) and Gerry did a good job of presenting the boat and the briefing.
We were particularly pleased with being able to stay on board the night before because it meant we could complete our provisioning the day prior and could therefore get out of Abel Point earlier than on all previous (5) charters. This means that the first day can be really useful and enjoyable instead of a rush to get to an anchorage for the night.
Once again thanks and I'll be recommending Whitsunday Escape to anyone who intends to bareboat in the Whitsunday's.

Boat Type & Name: Perry 43 4 ‘Tropical Zone'
I have to say that was the most relaxing week I have spent in a long time. The boat and associated equipment were first rate as was the briefing and the service. Having lived in the Whitsundays for a while some thirty years ago it was wonderful to rediscover the beauty of the islands, and doing it on one of your vessels was the perfect way to do it. It's something I will definitely organise again and your company will definitely be my first "port of call".

Just wanted to write to thank you for providing us with such a great holiday. From our initial enquiries all the way through to the de-briefing, we were very impressed with the service you and your staff provided.

Also just a big thank you for such a wonderful holiday aboard "Serenity".
This was our third trip with Whitsunday Escape- it will not be our last.
As previously, every detail was fully covered - from super efficient booking, through to a very friendly yet professional & informative briefing with Mike, to the way the way the whole holiday went off without the slightest hitch.
Whitsunday Escape- you are a truly professional team- well done.
