A Unique Boating Holiday
SAIL IN PARADISE WITH NO LICENCE REQUIRED
BAREBOAT CHARTERS
A bareboat is a boat hired without a skipper or crew. You are the captain, with no licence required. A little knowledge and common sense is all you need. The Fraser Coast is home to some of the finest cruising grounds in the world and the sheltered waters on the western side of Fraser Island are calm making it perfect for first timers and seasoned sailors alike.
FISHING CHARTERS
The Fraser Coast waterways, including Hervey Bay, The Great Sandy Strait and Southern Great barrier Reef, offers world-class fishing opportunities. The maze of creeks and rivers, inshore islands, vast sand flats, deep and artificial reefs deliver one of the most diverse fisheries in Australia, with an overlap of both northern and southern species.
GUIDED CHARTERS
Whether you are looking for day, or overnight private charters to celebrate a birthday, a honeymoon or a way to host a unique corporate function, Sweet Escape charter can help you create a skippered charter that will be fun, safe and memorable cruising in Queenslandโs best kept secret paradise (Fraser Island waters).
