“Brilliant evening cruise at sunset, amazing people on the boat and such a memorable experience, one of our favourite moments of our trip!”
About
The 2Hr Lady Enid Sunset Sailing Experience is an adults-only sailing cruise operating aboard the heritage yacht ‘Lady Enid’, a restored 1962 timber yacht. The two-hour sail crosses Pioneer Bay toward the Whitsunday Islands, includes a welcome Aperol Spritz and a gourmet grazing platter, and returns to Airlie Beach at sunset. Guest numbers are limited, making it a much sought-after exclusive experience. Departure times vary seasonally, so check the schedule before arrival.
The Lady Enid Sunset Sail Experience
As the afternoon light softens over Airlie Beach, you step aboard Lady Enid – a beautifully restored timber yacht built in 1962. The polished timber decks, traditional rigging are tell-tale signs that this is something different from the usual Whitsundays day trip.
Your evening begins with a chilled Aperol Spritz as the crew casts off and the sails are hoisted. You are welcome to try your hand at hoisting the sails with the crew. Pioneer Bay opens up ahead, the Whitsunday Islands framing the horizon, and the noise of the marina fades behind you. You can enjoy a shared grazing platter that is making its way around with prawns, cured meats, aged cheeses, and seasonal fruit.
With only a small number of guests on board, there's plenty of space to relax, take in the scenery and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of traditional sailing. As the boat makes her way back towards Airlie Beach, the sun slowly dips behind the Whitsunday ranges, casting golden reflections across the water and creating a beautiful sunset experience.
