Australia Yachts For Charter


Both a country and a continent, Australia covers a huge area with the majority of the population residing along the south eastern coast. But travel to the north east coast of the country and you move to tropical weather year round (remember that December – February is summer season here). This is the location of the 2,000 kilometre Great Barrier Reef. Covering a larger area than Great Britain and half the size of Texas you could sail this area for years exploring places you haven’t seen before.

Northrop & Johnson BVI is happy to recommend yachts that base in this extraordinary area. Local knowledge is key here – finding your way around minimally charted reefs requires that the sun be high in the sky and a sure eye. Yachts that base themselves on the Barrier Reef often offer scuba diving – the Barrier Reef is famous for the range of undersea life with coral, swarms of fish, anemones, sharks and sea stars. With more than 1000 shipwrecks there are plenty to dive and explore. There are a number of small hotels perched on cays found along the line of reefs, guests often enjoy stopping for drinks or dinner ashore – plenty of fresh fish on the menu here.

N&J BVI offers clients sailing and motor yachts in this area. Australian crew are active, casual and relaxed – with a cheery “g’day!” they’ll get you out snorkelling or helping with lines before you know it. Very few yachts operate with formality in this area as Australians are known for their open and friendly manners.

Travelling to this great spot is a lengthy trip now matter where you live, N&J BVI brokers recommend that you make your trip at least 10 days to allow time to recover from jet lag. Or combine your yacht charter with other travel through the amazing countryside or to see the amazing aboriginal art that has garnered worldwide acclaim.

A yacht charter in Australia is unique and memorable and one that the Northrop & Johnson BVI charter consultants will be happy to work with you for a smooth sailing vacation!
