Thankyou to Portland Roads for a great 6 days on Due West, although we had a minor hiccup with the anchor winch on the first day (*** was all over it) he had us out on the water after a brief delay. All our interaction with the *** and *** was professional and they made the whole process extremely easy and enjoyable, Due West was clean, well appointed and easy to sail catamaran. If your looking to bareboat charter in the Whitsundays we highly recommend Portland Roads. We will be back,

And John, you and your crew will be welcomed back with open arms. What a wonderful week to be out on the water, the conditions were beyond perfect. Thank you so much for your support and patience during the anchor winch upgrade. The team from Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays will see you back out on the water very soon - www.74islands1boat.com.au

*** water tanks for longer showers 😂

Jo thanks for your feedback. Getting the balance right to protect our World Heritage Marine Park and the Great Barrier Reef does take some compromise. Sometimes our personal comfort needs to be balanced against water run off, pollution, soaps, shampoos, detergents etc. entering our waterways.
Hence our plant based eco liquid soaps, cleaners, detergents etc.
Most of our guests to the Marine Park tend to swim daily and use the fresh water deck shower to rinse off. We hope the grandeur and wonder of the Ngaro waters of the Whitsundays still cast it's spell on you. Thanks for choosing the team at Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays - www.74islands1boat.com.au

Captain ***, thank you for guiding us on such a wonderful trip through the Whitsundays. Your seamanship was was only equaled by your after hours companionship. Thank you also for the plan showing our journeys course.
We look forward to catching up with you in the near future. *** j Pickup.

Thank you Roger. John revelled in your company and the company of all of your crew. Having an average age of 80 on board made for hours of laughter, stories and 'global analysis'. We are not sure we solved all of the problems of the world, but we went close. It was an absolute honour hosting you all and if the lads ever wish to sail the world, you'd all be welcome. Thank you for choosing Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays and our team at www.74islands1boat.com.au

Recently sailed on Due West for 6 days and had a great trip. Although we had a hiccup on the first day with the anchor winch, *** was quick to get a tradie onto the boat to have it fixed. The boat was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone

Caitlyn, we also received a wonderful 5 Star Review from you on the GOOGLE REVIEW platform. Your comments and reviews are gratefully received and accepted by everyone who helped out from our local team at Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays. We hope your Captain John takes up his return charter offer and books again at www.74islands1boat.com.au - Fair Winds and Blue Skies

From the first contact with Portland Roads to the completion of the boarding process everything was easy and well organized. Due West performed faultlessly and was extremely well equipped and comfortable. We were lucky enough to see Humpback Whales along with Green Turtles and so many fish it was hard to remember them all. The Coral we saw while snorkeling on the reefs was unforgettable. At the end of each day as I was watching the sunset I thought to myself 'does it get any better than this', only to find out the next day was actually better. Thanks Portland Roads and we can't wait to spend another week sailing the Whitsundays with you.Mark.

Absolutely Amazing !! This was our second stay on Due West and it was just as good as the first time ! The boat is so well equipped we didn’t need to look for anything . Deano was fantastic and was very organised and was easy to contact at anytime. We chose the early boarding Late checkout which avoids all stress of hurrying . We felt completely as at ease and safe and I cannot fault Portland Roads . Any questions we had were answered promptly , and John and Deano were so friendly . I will definitely using Portland Roads again this is the one holiday where you totally get to unwind and escape . We will be back !! I can’t wait !!
