Itinerary

You’ll meet the Wings crew at Coral Sea Marina, where the stunning SV Wings III awaits. After a cheerful welcome and tropical drink, step aboard and settle in as the sails go up and the golden hour begins.

Out on the water, you’ll glide past Pioneer Point, with Airlie Beach glowing behind you and the Whitsundays on the horizon. The catamaran sails gently across the bay — no engine noise, just the breeze in the sails and the soundtrack of summer playing softly in the background.

As the sky shifts from soft pinks to deep oranges, enjoy a spread of fresh antipasto, cheese, and gourmet bites. Sip your favourite drink (whether it’s bubbles, beer, or a fancy mocktail) and snag a top-deck spot for those all-important sunset selfies.

Once the sun disappears behind the islands, the crew slowly sails you back to shore, relaxed, full, and smiling.

Guests rave about the vibe onboard — it’s easy, stylish, and surprisingly personal. People love being able to BYO drinks without the inflated bar prices, and the food gets a big thumbs up too. It’s a hit with couples celebrating something special, groups looking for a pre-dinner experience, and even solo travellers keen for something memorable.

The crew? Friendly legends who know their stuff but don’t overdo the commentary — they let the sunset do the talking.


What to Bring

  • Your favourite drinks — wine, beer, bubbles, or even a mocktail mix

  • Jacket or wrap for after sunset (especially in winter)

  • Phone or camera for those golden hour shots

  • Thongs or barefoot — no need to dress up unless you want to

  • Good vibes and maybe a playlist suggestion for the skipper!
