Spend 3 awesome days and 2 amazing nights on board the fastest overnight charter boat in the Whitsundays: OzSail’s 67ft trimaran Avatar. Avatar is not only built for exhilarating speeds but also spacious and comfortable with plenty of deck space to spread out on. And her unique design means she doesn’t lean over, so going for a sail doesn’t mean you’re trapped on the rail. Avatar is the only Trimaran available for charter in the Whitsundays so if you’re after something different, come experience the incredible speed of Avatar as you snorkel and sail the World Heritage Listed Whitsunday Islands.
