Charterer's Centre
How much do you need?
For most of our charterers, our comprehensive briefing and test sail from our guides is enough to confirm that they are able to take command of one of our vessels. You will be briefed on the Whitsunday Islands, tides and other area specifics. You will also be shown over the boat and how to operate it completely. If you are taking a sailing vessel, then you will also have to complete a test sail to demonstrate competence in controlling the vessel - including sailing, tacking, anchoring and picking up a mooring.
If you are not sure about your ability to take control, then take our simple test below. We may recommend that you take a sail guide for the first day of the charter, as some prefer to do. Over the past couple of years, more than 12 % of charterers selected to take a sail guide for at least one day of their charter.
