New Horizon luxury cruises Airlie Beach

Itinerary...

Sailing the beautiful Whitsunday Islands over 2 days and 2 nights.

We think we’ve perfected our itinerary over the years, allowing you to see the best parts of the Whitsunday’s on your sailing adventure. We’ll take you to Australia’s finest beach – Whitehaven Beach, where you’ll enjoy the stunning views and the fantastic feel of silica sand between your toes. Blue Pearl bay to experience the beautiful under water coral gardens as well as Luncheon Bay for some fantastic snorkeling.

There are heaps of other great spots available and we usually leave it up to the weather and wind to tell us where’s good for the day.

Some of these will include:

  • Langford Reef

  • Manaray Bay

  • Butterfly Bay

  • Nara Inlet

  • Tongue Bay

Enjoy all we have to offer as we leisurely sail around this stunning marine park where time just seems to fade away.

Our friendly crew will happily show you the ropes and even let you take the helm on this classic timber schooner, or simply relax and soak up the sun with our huge sun bathing areas.

Whatever you choose, we’re confident New Horizon will be one of the highlights on your trip down under.

The Boat...

New Horizon

New Horizon- 97 foot timbre ketch.

New Horizon luxury cruises Airlie BeachBuilt in 1994 in Launcenston out of Tasmanian hardwood, the 97 foot New Horizon offers customers a very stable and exceptionally strong classic sailing experience. She offers both double and single bunk style accommodation in her three huge cabins and comfortably takes 32 passengers.

Being fully air conditioned throughout, the temperate of her rooms can be easily altered to the conditions of the guests, and makes for a very comfortable nights sleep during the tropical months.

Her huge deck space allows for plenty of sun bathing, and her covered areas are ideal for all weather conditions.

Being a full dive boat with an onboard compressor, customers have the opportunity to dive at our selected reef spots, and our onboard friendly dive instructors allow people the opportunity who have never dived, to experience first hand the beauty of this underwater paradise. Certified divers have the freedom to explore all this with their dive buddy’s.

Tallship SailingAll meals are included onboard New Horizon, and every meal is freshly prepared onboard by our fun chefs. Special dietary requirements are easily catered for.
