Magnetic Island Sailing Cruise ex Townsville

After a short ferry ride from Townsville to the paradise of Magnetic Island, you’ll board a luxury sailing yacht for a few hours of sailing, relaxation, fun and a delicious grazing platter.

Sail along the breathtaking Magnetic Island coastline with its impressive granite boulders and hoop pines before anchoring in one of the secluded bays. There you’ll have plenty of time to have a swim, stroll on the beach and relax, before enjoying a locally sourced grazing platter served with organic wines and local beers or soft drinks.

While at anchor experience the local wildlife up close and personal – observe batfish and other reef fish, kites, sea eagles, and turtles.

Our friendly, knowledgeable crew will share insights into the area and its vibrant marine life. They will also give you the opportunity to steer the yacht or learn a bit about sailing during your journey, if you wish.

A day of fun and relaxation to remember.

Return ferry tickets to Townsville included.

Enjoy a fast ferry ride from Townsville to Magnetic Island where after passing the Townsville Port you’ll have beautiful views of Magnetic Island

Sail along the beautiful Magnetic Island coastline searching for the perfect spot to anchor for a few hours. The hosts onboard will check-in and find out if you have any preferences on the bay to visit and provide recommendations based on the wind and weather conditions on the day.

One of our favourite spots to anchor is Radical Bay, a protected bay which is accessible solely by boat or hiking. It is surrounded by breathtaking granite boulders and striking rock formations, this secluded gem offers a beautiful beach and crystal clear waters.

Once anchored, guests can dive into the water for a swim, wander along the shore, or chill out on the giant inflatable mat alongside the boat.

After some fun or relaxation, a delicious lunch sourced from local produce is served, featuring prawns and an antipasto platter. You will also be served Australian Organic Wines, local beers or soft drinks while enjoying your onboard lunch.

*In the event of northerly winds, we may alternatively anchor at Arthur Bay or Florence Bay.

Enjoy a return sail back to Nelly Bay before jumping on your return ferry to Townsville. Or if you prefer you can spend a little bit longer exploring the island, as the return ferry tickets are flexible.
