Cruise to an exclusive beach ‘Nature’s Own Pontoon
Michaelmas Cay is an exclusive reef location. You can cruise on our luxury vessels to this unique sand cay and explore the island without even getting your feet wet.
Snorkel & dive from the beach rather than a pontoon into deep waters
Feeling a little anxious? Not to worry, instead of jumping straight into the deep end (don’t mind the pun!) ease into the experience from the shallows waters of Michaelmas Cay.
Large sailing catamaran at low speed assures maximum comfort at sea
Our luxury sailing vessels are quite smooth as we cruise slower than the other catamarans on the reef; this is to ensure that you have a calm and comfortable experience.
Spacious wide open foredeck perfect for sun bathing
Soak up the sun and relax on our spacious outdoor sundecks as we sail to the exclusive Michaelmas Cay. Our sundeck features mats and cushions perfect for lazing about and taking in the spectacular scenery.
Comfortable lounge seating rather than ferry style seating
Sit back and relax! We believe you shouldn’t have to be cramped and uncomfortable for the cruise journey, which is why we have fitted our vessels with spacious lounge style seating – so you can enjoy your trip to Michaelmas Cay.
Environmentally friendly sailing catamaran with low fuel consumption
Enjoy a wonderful day cruising to areas of the Great Barrier Reef knowing that you are not harming any of the marine life in the process!
Visit the largest protected bird sanctuary on the reef
Michaelmas Cay is a protected bird sanctuary and a haven for nature lovers. Michaelmas Cay is home to over 20,000 migratory seabirds and is one of the most important protected seabird breeding habitats in the southern hemisphere.
Menus are freshly prepared on board during the cruise
We believe that to be able to provide a quality experience, it is important for all elements of the cruise to be top notch! The menu provided is all part of that cruise experience, hence why all menus are freshly prepared on board.
Ideal romantic reef trip for couples and honeymooners
Spend a luxurious day on the magnificent Michaelmas Cay with your special someone – whether you’re celebrating your honeymoon or simply on a romantic vacation, this reef experience is one you won’t forget!
No overcrowding – only 150 guests each day
Passenger numbers are strictly controlled to well below the vessels licenced capacity ensuring unmatched space, comfort and attentive service.
Best reef experience for non-swimmers
If swimming isn’t your thing, that’s ok! We have a variety of activities for those that wish to stay dry but still see the best the Great Barrier Reef has to offer!
Our fully air conditioned, comfortable semi-submersible offers an informative tour of this incredible underwater world. Our qualified Marine Biologists also deliver guided information tours of the island and bird sanctuary.
