The Whitsundays just scored a serious style upgrade.
M.Y. Sea Raes, the 101-foot tri-deck superyacht from the team behind Byron Bay’s iconic Raes on Wategos, has dropped anchor for a season of all-inclusive charters from now to October. Expect sun-soaked days cruising past Whitehaven Beach, champagne-fuelled picnics at Hill Inlet Lookout, and dinners by two-hatted chef Jason Saxby.
Available for one, three, or five-night escapes, plus luxe day charters – each itinerary is designed to showcase the Whitsundays at its most dazzling. Think snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef, paddleboarding at secluded coves, hiking to panoramic lookouts, and unwinding with a sunset aperitivo on the sundeck. Following a glamorous refit by Chapman Yachting and styling by Tamsin Johnson, Sea Raes accommodates up to eight guests overnight or 30 for day events.
What to Eat: Bay lobster alla catalana, oysters with finger lime mignonette, salt-baked snapper.
