Overview

Sail the Whitsundays in a 62-ft gaff rigged schooner - one of the only tallships to sail regularly to Whitehaven Beach. Help out with the sails or chill on deck as the sails fill in the breeze. Head for the Whitsundays' iconic beach - Whitehaven. Disembark at Tongue Bay for a 10-minute walk to the Hill Inlet lookout. Capture some pics of the world's most photographed beach before heading down to experience the soft, white sand. Spend an hour and a half on the beach before heading back for lunch on board as you sail to a beautiful snorkelling spot where the water is teaming with fish and the coral is dazzling. Then it's homeward bound while snacking on a fruit platter and the sails, winds permitting, carry you back to Coral Sea Marina North.

Had an amazing time out on providence for the day!! The food was lovely we had coffee and tea served with banana bread, cookies, muffins, chicken wraps, frittata, laminations, and a fruit platter to name some! We did a snorkel on a beautiful reef and had time on whitehaven beach to explore and go up to see the lookout view of hill inlet. We put the sails up whenever we had enough wind and the crew was happy to explain how they worked and get us guest involved in hoisting up the sails with them:) I would definitely recommend this trip for any backpackers or groups coming through airlie!!

The crew is great and the boat is beautiful. But the ad photo belies how crowded the tour is. The is no room to lay on the deck on a towel, as depicted. We sat shoulder to shoulder on the cockpit lids and some had to stand for comfort. There was no wind, so no fault of the crew or operator, but it was a very long motor to and from the beach. Whitehaven is beautiful and the crew do a great job of getting you ashore. The snacks offered were plentiful and good. I knew this was not a private tour, but the photos give you the impression it will be staffed as such.

We had such a fantastic time being Providence Pirates! We really enjoyed the casual, relaxed atmosphere that Providence offers (definitely not as regimented as others tours we noticed, which was our preference). Oscar and Jack were friendly hosts and very accomodating to all aboard.

Unsafe. Do not go on the Providence V! Check out our photos, and I’m not one to write a negative review.
