About Grand Prix Yachting
*** Please note we cater to private and corporate charters - these must be secured in advance. Visit grandprixyachting.com or email jo@grandprixyachting. *** Once-in-a-lifetime private charters on Volvo 60 'Merit'. Options include sailing to Hill Inlet for that must-have shot of the ever-changing swirling sands, or sailing to the uncrowded Langford Spit, just off Hayman Island. Whether you've never sailed before or are a seasoned mariner, your crew will ensure you're comfortable, well looked after, and are happy to answer questions about the vessel and the region. Please bring a jacket against the breeze, non-marking shoes and, if you like a beer or wine, your own alcohol.

There are a number of choices for sailing on the island, all different. This on has a single hull 20m ex racer that does the loop around Hill inlet. By its nature, it has limited facilities for catering, no alcohol other than BYO, no comfortable seating and little shade. So if you want to sail, this is for you! BTW.. Having been to all the sights over years, it is time the licences were tightened up...it was single file up the track to Hill inlet lookout and no room to enjoy the view because of crowds of cranky tourists.

It was great to meet you and take you out. You're right that our vessels are built for speed rather than comfort! And that, if you want to sail, 'this is for you'. Thank you for your review - hope to see you again when you return.

We were glad you could take time out to come sailing! No better way to get to Whitehaven than harnessing that breeze :)

We're glad you found us on the Hamilton Island website and came out for an afternoon sail! You're welcome on board any time and now will be expert at moving around the vessel when we're tacking!
