Australia is one of the great cruising countries on earth.
The only real question is where to point the bow next.
A lifetime isn't quite long enough to cruise all of it. But it's a good excuse to try.
The Whitsundays
The classic. Warm water, sheltered anchorages, tropical islands and short passages.
The easiest introduction to cruising paradise in the country.
The Broadwater and Moreton Bay
Right on the doorstep of two capital cities and still full of untouched anchorages, beaches and rivers.
Local cruising at its best.
Tasmania
Rugged, wild and rewarding. Harbours, rivers and mountains rising straight from the water.
Cruising Tasmania is not the easiest — but it's unforgettable.
The Kimberley
Remote, ancient, tidal and demanding. A cruise here is a serious undertaking and a lifetime memory.
The country of ten-metre tides and skies that don't quite feel real.
Everywhere In Between
Sydney Harbour, the Hawkesbury, Coffs to Southport, the Gippsland Lakes, Spencer Gulf, the West Coast, the Top End — every state has a cruise worth planning.
You don't need a bigger boat. You need a bigger map.
