Since then their business has grown to 3 boats and has been built upon a genuine passion for sailing and a love of all things aquatic. They pride themselves on personalised service aboard quality boats. Each tour sails, visits Whitehaven Beach including Hill Inlet Lookout and snorkels at least in 2 locations. Sailing with a small group offers many advantages. Boats taking less than 13 guests are allowed full access to the marine park, meaning ISail's boats can visit the best whitsunday locations whilst avoiding the crowds. « less

2 days 2 nights..On Ice !! We chilled out and had a brilliant time. Small numbers meant special attention for all on board (no more than 10 guests). Phil, the skipper, sailed to all the finer spots around the Whitsunday Islands covering Hook, Hayman, a stop on Whitsunday Island, paddle boarding off Whitehaven, snorkelling at Luncheon Bay, Blue Pearl Bay...

I went with my girlfriend for a 2 days 2 nights trip on Blizzard; we hadn't booked anything prior to arriving in Airlie beach - this is something I would highly recommend researching (I'm sure most people do) as if you have a certain boat in mind you need to be there for when its running! We ended up changing... More

I spent 2 nights on the Blizzard in mid-April and couldn't have asked for anything more. Brand new boat (went into service in November) meant everything was in perfect working order and nice and clean. The crew clearly put a lot into maintaining this as we were all asked to hand over our shoes when we came aboard. The crew... More

Excellent 2 days and one night on Iceberg. The crew of John and Mink were great and ensured everyone felt safe in all activities and also had a good time whilst under heir care. Unlike many other boats doing he circuit Iceberg actually has sails and uses them to get around and its a wonderful feeling being carried along using... More

Great weekend away on board iceberg overnight sail tour. Visited great spots, rod was really funny, and got a double bed upgrade for free as we were a couple and a mother and daughter accidentally booked a double bed. Food was ok, but remember to bring your own alcohol a mistake we made. I did get hungry at times so... More

10/10 across the board! My girlfriend, parents and myself travelled on Blizzard for the 2 night cruise around the Whitsunday Islands. This company certainly live up to their first class reputation! We were greeted by Tris (Skipper) and Mink (Deck hand) both of whom were incredibly friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had booked the 2 private cabins with ensuite which... More

My friend and I travelled on the Iceberg with 10 other people on the 26-27th of March 2012. We spent 2 days and 1 night which I found out later is a really good deal compare to the 3 days/2 nights deals. Indeed we left at 8.30 am on Monday and came back at 5 pm on Tuesday, we spent... More

This was just the perfect short cruise for us. Luke and Isabel were incredibly welcoming with a great balance of relaxed enthusiasm. The boat was modern, clean and full of interesting equipment suitable for all levels of ability that they were only, too happy to let us loose with. I particularity enjoyed the hand-held motors for snorkeling, the transparent canoe... More

Three of us took a 2 night trip on Blizzard and had a fantastic time. We snorkeled twice and saw such beautiful fish and coral, and swam with large turtles. One of us missed the second snorkeling trip due to concern about the depth of the water - it was a shame as some help and encouragement would have made... More
