Magnetic Island Lunchtime Sailing Cruise: Beaches, Swim, and Gourmet Lunch Adventure

Embark on a four-hour lunchtime sailing cruise around Magnetic Island. Swim, relax on secluded beaches, and enjoy a gourmet lunch while exploring the beautiful coastline.

Duration: 4 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Magnetic Island - Sail along the beautiful Magnetic Island coastline searching for the perfect spot to anchor for a few hours. The hosts onboard will check-in and find out if you have any preferences on the bay to visit and provide recommendations based on the wind and weather conditions on the day.

  • Radical Bay - One of our favourite spots to anchor is Radical Bay, a protected bay which is accessible solely by boat or hiking. It is surrounded by breathtaking granite boulders and striking rock formations, this secluded gem offers a beautiful beach and crystal clear waters.

Once anchored, guests can dive into the water for a swim, wander along the shore, or chill out on the giant inflatable mat alongside the boat, perhaps with a glass of wine.

After some fun and relaxation, a delicious lunch sourced from local produce is served, featuring prawns and an antipasto platter. You will also be served Australian Organic Wines, local beers or soft drinks while enjoying your onboard lunch.

*In the event of northerly winds, we may alternatively anchor at Arthur Bay or Florence Bay.

A fantastic experience - The whole experience was amazing - from sailing out of Nelly Bay and hoisting sail soon after, to swimming in Radical Bay - to a beautifully prepared lunch - to then returning under sail(most of the way) to Nelly Bay. Clayton and Siobhan were amazing hosts, skipper and crew. Thank you so much

3 Bays in 3 ways was Magnetic - Clayton was the perfect skipper, his voice as calming as the ocean, waterfalls, and private bays we visited. My other solo friend, Jesskarkar was an absolute pleasure to spend half a day on the fast boat. 3 Bays in 3 Ways... and that lunch !! Oh la la
