A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR PRIVATE CHARTER
Your private charter begins at Magnetic Island Marina, Nelly Bay. One of the crew will meet you on the Pepper's Blue on Blue deck and show you to Pilgrim, the beautiful 58-foot sailing yacht.
You can select the start time and duration of the charter, although we recommend 10 am to time in nicely with lunch at anchor. Our standard charter is four hours. See our FAQ for recommendations on length of the charter.
After a full briefing to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe, we'll have a chat to find out what you are looking for from the day, then head out of the marina and pull up sails and go sailing.
Enjoy a leisurely sail to one of the bays of Magnetic Island. While we're sailing, you can relax on the beanbags or help pull ropes or steer the boat. We'll sail for about an hour before dropping anchor in one of the bays.
The destination will depend on the wind conditions on the day but is often Radical Bay, Florence Bay or Arthur Bay. On more extended charters (e.g. six hours) we can sail to Five Beach Bay, or it may be possible to stop in two bays, one for a snorkel and one for lunch.
Once at anchor, you'll have some time to yourselves - you can chill on the boat, explore the beach, have a swim or play/relax on the giant inflatable mat. If the weather permits (on light wind days) you may be able to go for a snorkel and check out the fringing reef and colourful fish.
After you've had some fun or just kicked back and relaxed, we'll serve lunch on board, buffet-style.
Lunch includes a delicious and generous antipasto platter and locally caught prawns & bugs served with a freshly baked baguette. Also included are Australian organic wines, premium beers and soft drinks with lunch and on the sail back to Nelly Bay.
After lunch, we'll pull up anchor and sail back to the marina enjoying the Magnetic Island scenery as we go.
During the charter, we usually spot some of the local wildlife - the beautiful brahminy kites, the batfish or large Cod and in season, if we're lucky we'll see one or two of the migrating humpback whales.
