What a champ, loved our sailing experience. Thank you for taking us around the Whitsundays. You are amazing.
We had a lovely time on a beautiful catamaran with everything we needed. Definitely one of those experiences in life that youll never regret.
Awesome experience, great local knowledge and communication. Would highly recommend and revisit 1000 times over!
Have to say a huge thanks for the fantastic week on Ruby Sunday last week; what a beautifully behaved and perfectly manoeuvrable catamaran she is - we had nil to very little prior boating experience but the expert briefing and practice sessions and books/charts provided, gave us the tools to navigate to everywhere we wanted to go in the Whitsundays with confidence - which we did! We snorkelled different spots everyday, swam with turtles (21!), saw dolphins, nemo in the anemone, starfish, giant clams... a magical experience for both us and our 3 children. A great holiday to reconnect and ˜unplug the kids, and we havent laughed so much for years. We were also lucky with perfect weather and a turn of the winds toward the end of the holiday, allowing us to anchor at a variety of different crystal clear bays.
Ruby Sunday was a luxury ˜home away from home... very well *** out for us with each child spoiled by their own double bedroom. Great selection of movies for the kids to watch at night so mum & dad could catch up outside under the stars. Also have to call out the amazing food provided by the recommended Whitsundays Provisioning - the quality of food was top notch, I have not had fresher prawns/bugs, and the eye fillet steaks were simply superb. We were so busy swimming/exploring/fishing that we missed a few meals which resulted in leftovers- so sad we couldnt take it back with us - the leftover veggies were so fresh and healthy they were still A+ after the week!
We cant wait to come back - an amazing experience in a very special part of the world, thank you so much for sharing these beautiful boats and your knowledge Mike.
Great yacht, very comfortably inside and out. I would like to thank Deano for all help and expertise.
Cheers and hope to see you again.
