Tour Description & Additional Info:

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.
