The British Defender is a high-performance maxi yacht that delivers adventurous and energetic sailing experience throughout the Whitsunday Islands. This is perfect for travellers who want a real sailing experience combined with iconic island stops. 

The British Defender can accommodate up to 26 passengers, alongside 3-4 professional crew members, creating a well-managed onboard experience. 

This trip is best suited for active adults and young travellers who enjoy social sailing, adventures and hands-on experiences rather than the laid back luxury cruising. 

The British Defender trip runs for 3 days and 2 nights, giving passengers enough time to explore multiple islands, snorkel reefs and experience true offshore sailing. 

The British Defender route typically includes Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet lookout, and a selection of snorkelling locations around the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. 

This trip includes accommodation on board, all meals, snorkelling equipment, wetsuit hire, reef and marine park fees, and guided activities throughout the day. 

Guests are more than welcome to get involved with sailing under crew guidance, although participation is optional. 

British Defender is equipped with multiple bathrooms and hot showers, to ensure comfort is provided throughout the trip. 

Departures and returns normally take place from Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach.
