In June this year I had the opportunity to spend 3 days aboard this luxury yacht. It was a magical experience and my memories will stay with me forever. Everything, from the meals to the facilities and the crew were top rate.
The Anaconda III is a 101 foot mega yacht and one of the biggest vessels cruising the Whitsundays. It can carry up to 32 passengers. All cabins on board are air conditioned and each has its own ensuite with hot showers. It has a large air conditioned dining room and saloon area with a modern flat screened TV. The spacious decks give you plenty of room to move around or for sunbaking.
All meals are cooked on board and include breakfast, lunch and dinner plus morning and afternoon teas. A well stocked bar is open with reasonable prices. Beers…$4.50, glass of wine $3.50 and bottles of water and softdrink $2.50.
The 3 day/3 night trip makes for a leisurely voyage. No rushing from place to place and Whitehaven is visited on each trip. Weather permitting you will also get out to the reef for an overnight stay.
Snorkeling and scuba diving activities are also offered and the yacht has two diving instructors and carries all diving gear. Snorkeling is free as is the use of the equipment. An introductory scuba dive will cost about $65.
Cruising on this yacht is truly a fantastic experience. At one point coming in from the reef we hit bad weather and rough conditions. I felt completely safe knowing our experienced Skipper Baz would see us home safely…and sure enough he did!
The crew are marvellous…fun, happy and very friendly…they will do everything to make your trip a great one….
