Description
**The Atlantic Clipper **is renowned as the most popular charter boat in the Whitsundays and thrives on taking our guests on a truly memorable adventure and provides breathtaking 2 day 2 night excursions of the amazing Whitsunday Islands, part of the Great Barrier Reef marine park.
The size of the Atlantic Clipper is a whopping 34-metres on 3 levels with 21 air conditioned cabins ranging from 2, 3 and 4 berth accommodation. There are 5 hot showers, 7 toilets and a saloon that can sit 60 people very comfortably. There are plenty of sun tan decks and many sheltered areas too. Combine this with two large sails, a 12-person spa, a water chute slide and a massive 8-metre inflatable waterslide.
Atlantic Clipper provides an array of activities, perfectly suited to the thrill-seeker in us all with snorkelling, introductory & certified scuba dives, stand-up paddle boarding, banana boat rides, jet boat rides, guided bushwalk and more.
We operate our trips with 6 fantastic crew, who are central to the success of our tours. All of whom are fun-loving characters who make sure that everyone comes off the boat at the end of the trip with a positive and memorable experience. Everything from briefings, chats and demonstrations is done with a jovial, light-hearted outlook whilst still providing all the professionalism that’s expected from all our staff.
We instil a sense of fun in every facet of what we do by creating an atmosphere and culture that’s lively, engaging, and entertaining.
