Since this time we have consistently proven to our clients that we are the leaders in our field, delivering a quality product second to none. This is one of the reasons why we have our clients return year after year. You can choose from a bareboat charter which is a skipper yourself holiday (which means hiring a boat without crew) or we can also arrange a skippered charter or fully crewed with a cook as well.Choose your preferred vessel from our fully maintained, modern fleet of 28 yachts to suit all budgets. Designs include Catalina Yachts, Seawind Catamarans, Fountaine Pajot Catamarans, Tasman Catamarans and the Montebello Catamaran. No formal qualification is needed but a full briefing is given to ensure you can safely cruise the beautiful Whitsunday islands.QYC are now also part of the global charter company Dream Yacht Charter. With over 31 locations around the world, this is a great opportunity for our clients to experience not only the great wonders of the Whitsundays in Australia but to look further afield at chartering in other stunning destinations such as New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Caribbean, Mediterranean and exotic places such as Madagascar, Seychelles, Bahamas and Mauritius.

Reviewed 9 May 2012

Everything was ready when we arrived. The whole team was helpful and knowledgeable. We sailed and dove in the Whitsundays and had 20 to 30 kts SE for the whole time. We have sailed all over the world and I must say this area ranks up there with the best. The diving was good with 25 to 35 ft visibility.... More

“Very professional charter”

Reviewed 24 April 2012

people found this review helpful

we hired a french catamaran fountaine pageot in excelent conditions and confort level. The skipper was probably the most important aspect of of this organisation. Peter provided the best services expected from this fabulous cruise. Whitesundays are defintly an amazing place to visit despite the (somehow irrational) fear of sharks and jelly fish boxes.

Wonderful time aboard L'Avant; immaculate, luxurious and sensational trip! Teen boys referred to it as a "floating house". The weather, company and vessel were all totally perfect!

Thanks for the review and pleased to hear you had such a sensational trip! L'Avant is a beautiful boat and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed her so much. We often refer to our boats as "floating hotel rooms", but a "floating house" sounds much better! : ) More
