Portland Roads Whitsundays

A closer look at the fleet.

Portland Roads Whitsundays is a focused bareboat operator for sailors who want a catamaran-based Whitsunday holiday without the feel of a huge fleet. From Airlie Beach and Coral Sea Marina, the company promotes a small group of named Lagoon sailing catamarans for self-skippered cruising through the islands. The appeal is privacy and simplicity. A Lagoon catamaran gives families and small groups space to spread out, separate cabins, stable living areas and the ability to use the boat as a comfortable base between anchorages, beaches, snorkelling spots and resort stops. Guests can shape the trip around weather, tides and their own pace rather than following a fixed tour schedule. It feels more boutique than mass-market, with support available during the charter and a clear focus on the local cruising ground.
