ABSOLUTELY LUXURIOUS!The booking process was easy and the pre-trip correspondence was reassuring. We stayed on Portland Roads and the boat was immaculate. Comfortable beds, modern kitchen, spacious living areas. It was well-equiped with everything we could need throughout our trip.The staff were enthusiastic and professional. They answered every single query and recommended us to the best places for fishing, snorkeling, swimming and fish sighting. Their knowledge of the area made our trip even better!Thank you so much Portland Roads for making our dream holiday come true! This is a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget. To anyone thinking of taking this trip... DO IT!

Incredible experience on Portland Roads!Portland Roads is a luxury catamaran immaculately fitted out like a five-star hotel on water. It's a lot easier to drive/operate than what we thought as you have all the sat nav and depth sound equipment and you need not put up the sails if your not confident, but it's awesome if you do. We were surprised how little fuel we used, so no problem if you dont wish to use the sails. We loved the barbecue at the back of the boat and the large spacious outdoor/undercover dining area where you could enjoy being one with nature whilst dining in your secluded remote-like setting in whatever inlet or bay you decided to moor/anchor in. Our suite was immaculate and comfortable with a skylight above the bed and ensuite. Fully-equipped kitchen and plenty of fridge/freezer space. The owner and his staff were super awesome, with communication and the whole booking/briefing process was made very easy for us.We saw plenty of dolphins, turtles, sting rays, giant trevally and plenty of other marine Life. One gets many great experiences on a trip like this from sitting up on the deck at night in your soft portable cushy deck lounges, staring in awe at the billions of stars, with cold beers and great friends. Thank you for a great and memorable trip that we will always cherish.Chris & co

Anybody considering a bareboat trip to the Whitsunday Islands should use Portland Roads. We chartered Southern Man and this was the most beautiful catamaran that I have sailed. It had plenty of space and storage, easy to use sails, auto pilot and plenty of fuel, water and energy. Mark Mcpherson was excellent as our briefer and made us feel confident and at ease with the boat. He also assisted with transfers and the use of his van for the pick up of provisions. He facilitated our scheduled call ins and provided advice on weather and entry to bays and coves. I can't recommend Mark Mcpherson and Southern Man enough. Easily the best bareboat charter opportunity in the Whitsundays. Well done on making our trip one to remember.

JUST AWESOME! I had so much fun..... and with perfect weather gifting us with a good breeze, we had the sails up and enjoyed the tranquility that only the ocean can give. The cabins were roomy and comfortable and there is nothing as peaceful as being in a calm anchorage at night looking out of my hatch at the stars and feeling a world away from everyone. The food was devine. Fresh fruit, real coffee and restaurant style food made this trip unbeatable.Everyone was engaging and couldn't do enough to make my trip so comfortable and so much fun. I will do it again and recommend this charter as a great way to visit the Whitsunday Islands.

What a fantastic 5 Days on Portland Roads Lagoon 420 Sailing Catamaran "LUCY" the 7 of us girls had. It's a great boat, very easy to sail, well set out and made it even more enjoyable for us to relax in the perfect weather we had. Having the expertise knowledge from Deano explain how to operate the vessel, give us thorough instructions for the daily routines involved in the boats operations made it so much easier for us.We are already planning our next trip!! And will certainly be letting others know what a great experience we had. Thank you to all who contributed in make our trip such a pleasurable one.
