⛵ Adventure Under Sail: Townsville to Mackay

Our recent adult voyage from Townsville to Mackay proved that you don't need a big crew to have a big adventure!

With a small but enthusiastic team on board, everyone pitched in - hoisting sails, keeping watch and working together as we made our way south. We were even treated to some incredible whale sightings along the way. 🐋

Great teamwork, plenty of laughs and unforgettable moments made this voyage one to remember.
