» Read onOur week on Ruby Sunday was incredible. I’ve not spent much time on boats in the past so was a bit hesitant but from the moment we arrived we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mike welcomes us and showed us the ropes before we relaxed in the Marina before setting sail the next day. While the weather wasn’t ideal the first few days, sailing the boat was still no issue. Being a catamaran it was really stable and easy to operate. The islands and ocean around Airlie are spectacular. We had a great time exploring islands and snorkeling even seeing a manta ray. At night you have endless stars shining. The facilities on the boat were perfect. A huge ice chest, bbq, microwave, pod coffee machine and even a blender! They’d thought of everything. The beds were really comfortable and easily slept a couple. It was surprising how much storage they could fit everywhere around the boat and it easily accommodated our group of 7. Having the seating and table at the back, front deck and inside table and seats meant you could spread out and relax depending on your mood. Can’t recommend a sailing trip in the Whitsundays highly enough and you’d do very well to go with Portland roads and Ruby Sunday - a dream holiday.

What a phenomenal week! Most relaxing holiday we have had in years. Portland Roads is a beautiful boat & we appreciated the informative briefing from Mike. Would highly recommend this company if you are thinking of bareboating in the Whitsundays.

You are fresh, current and relevant. The recognition of country was emotional and educational, and to keep this passion throughout the week was nothing short of inspirational. We learnt so much about the region, it's history and our human footprint on the planet. None of us go home unaffected by you and your passion. The boat was perfect, the weather delightful and the friendships formed we hope will last a lifetime. We are wanting to book for Christmas next year, please give us a call to discuss. Thanks again brendan, *** and crewWe are humbled Brendan; very humbled! Thank you for such warm feedback. It was an honour to host you and your family. We'll give you a call to organise your next charter and look forward to doing it all again next Christmas. Thanks for choosing to holiday with Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays - www.74islands1boat.com.au
