» Read onIt was the experience of a life time. Words cannot describe just how breathtaking the setting was. We were fully relaxed and fully submerged in the most stunning natural environment. *** set us up with all the information we needed. We were fully informed on safety regarding swimming and felt in no danger. I encourage everyone to do it. It’s a must!

Delivering on what we promise at Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsunday is made that much easier when our guests come with a spirit of adventure, knowing that they are embarking on something so unique in an area that is so beautiful.

» Read onJust back from 5 nights and can only sing the highest praises for Portland Roads. We took a Luxury Escape deal on the Due West and was briefed by ***. The boat has EVERYTHING you need and all to the highest of standards. *** tells you how to handle things, where the best places are to visit, to swim and snorkel. If you follow instructions you can't go wrong. We'll be back for sure.
Tony, just like your 5 Star Google Review that we received on line, we have also found this similar eKomi internet review. Thank you for helping us tell the world about our little Aussie business and the wonderful Whitsundays.
It was our pleasure hosting you and your crew and it will be a higher honour hosting your return trip to come sailing with us again. A heartfelt thanks from all of us here at Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays -

» Read onFirstly our sincerest thanks go to *** whose service to ensuring our trip was the absolute best experience was another level. He took all care and responsibility to ensure that all our mooring spots were diverse, beautiful, and most importantly safe. He carefully crafted a well thought out itinerary with lots of exciting spots on the way. The boat itself was perfectly fitted out and we did not lack for a thing on board. Everything was immaculate clean upon our arrival and all efforts were made by *** and his team to help us disembark as quickly and seamlessly as possible. Thanks again for absolutely everything and we look forward to travelling on any of your Portland vessels again in the near future. We’ve got the bug!!!
"You've got the bug" Sandy; And we love it....
It is sometimes just so hard to explain the transforming effects of such a wonderful Whitsunday's holiday experience like this. Even our smartest brochures and fancy websites fall well short. Your words however have done a great job. Thank you for such rewarding feedback. Dean, Jeanelle, Mike and Ruby stand tall in our industry and we are proud to call them part of our team. We'll keep the sun shining and the boats ready for your next visit. -

» Read onWe had a totally wonderful week aboard Lucy last week. It was smooth sailing from booking online to boarding and back. Dean gave us an informative, thorough brief based on the boat, safety, places to Moore for the night, best and safest snorkeling and swimming places and lots more. We did some fantastic snorkeling, great sailing, we mostly self catered and simply enjoyed each other’s company in some extremely beautiful places.
It was suggested to us by Dean not swim in Cyd Harbour and we certainly did not however we did spend hours in the water at other beaches.
This is a holiday I would highly recommend to anyone wanting time out, to reconnect with nature , family and friends.
***Liz;
Getting two reviews in two different forums is such a nice touch.
Thank you - Great advice on swimming and snorkelling locally.
And yes we agree with everything else.
We have really great boats, really great people and the Whitsundays; Well they speak for themselves. It was great to hear of your reconnect with family, friends and nature. That's what its all about. -

» Read onThat was simply the best. We came over from Denver USA for a 3 month holiday in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and parts of Queensland. Everything had been wonderful until we boarded Portland Roads, then things stepped up to the next level - Damn! It was brilliant. So cheap when divided between our crew of 8. If this was in our backyard we'd be here every holiday. A week ago we were all ready to go home, now we all wish to stay. A huge customer service tick from our crew to yours - World class with a quirky accent. THANK YOU Portland Roads, so, so cool.
Riley, you and your crew are welcome in our backyard anytime.
Thanks for the huge wrap, our team wear your feedback with real pride.
As you can see, it's not that hard for us to maintain our unbridled passion for what we do; And when our guests have the same experience, it makes our day. Thanks again from all of us here at Portland Roads - Sailing the Whitsundays
