All I have to say about this trip is WOW!!! If it’s wasn’t for Alex our skipper and Chris and Vicky for their friendly and professional attitude and approach to the trip I highly doubt I would be writing this review! They were absolutely amazing from beginning to end, we were given brilliant safety tips on board to ensure we were safe at all times as well as amazing and delicious meals, (Alex said we wouldn’t go hungry on Spank me) and by god we didn’t. It was early mornings as the team wanted us to be the first people on the amazing Whitehaven beaches and in all the best snorkel spots. We were lucky enough to see eagles, wallabies, lemon sharks, whales, string rays , plenty of beauty reefs and fish and we even had the change to swim with 4 turtles!!! I trip I would highly recommend and would love to go back for a once in a lifetime trip.

Without dout one of the best trips ive been on. Skipper alex’s knowledge of the area was second to none. He was professional, funny and always answered every annoying question i asked. His team made up of chris and vicky could not be faulted always on hand to help, excellent professionalism and top notch food. The crew knew the best spots and times for us to get the full whitsundays experience.. would definitely recommend

Do not, I repeat DO NOT book this tour I Have just gotten back from it and it was not a good experience at all! First of all the skipper/captain was rude and condesending to all guests especially the women I was on the boat Spank Me with Ozsails which I had booked through Happy Travels First of all the Skipper Alex was extremely rude to us guest and talk down and in an condesending way, he started discussion and his behavior was unacceptable and a huge part of my dissatisfaction. He should not work in a customer service setting! Second the packing list that was sent to us was extremely misleading in terms of alcohol. It is not that i needed or wanted to get drunk and I understand the safety issue being at Sea as well, however, it states that each person could bring 24 cans or 4ltr wine or 1ltr of alcohol. However arriving at the ship we were told we pretty much could not drink at all I dont mind that but I do mind how poorly this was managed and misaligned my expectations for the trip! Then i would rather not have wasted money on alcohol at all for the trip. Thirdly, I did expect to camp on night 2 as this was advertised and a big part of even booking the tour. We were told that they haven’t camped at all any time the past year, which to me really screams out that it has nothing to the with the weather on our trip but just a way for Ozsails to make it easier and cheaper for them! It is fair to make excuses about and if the weather really is to blame that is fair as well however since it has not happened at all I think clear communcation about this should have been in order because then I dont think I would have purchased the tour at all! Not going camping ended up making us spend 17 hours in front of the marina during the second night felt like a waste. To be 200 meters from Arlie Beach while on a boat is just a joke and we could not leave the ship either! This just felt like a way for Ozsail to keep us for one more night to charge a higher price. Lastly we had a very Inexperienced Crew this was a safetyd concern and furthermore we did not get to put the main sail up either which would have been really cool

There is one word to describe this trip with Avatar, AMAZING Thank you Max, Milga & Zayn for making sure I had a great time😁

Had an incredible few days on the Spank Me boat with Captain Alex and crew members Kate & Victoria. Unreal experience and couldn’t recommend it enough!

First and most Important: Alex our skipper is very experienced, although he is not taking any risk on the cost of the safety!! Really appreciate that, because we had really bad weather and it wasn't easy! Still, we had a great time and it was a experience which we won't forget! Also thanks to Molly and Tobi (Crew) which cooked delicious food and were always up for some nice conversations!! Don't miss to go with them!!

2 days of pretty much torrential rain didn’t put a dampener on a fantastic trip. Alex the skipper managed to make sure we still did Whitehaven beach and we got in 2 great snorkel spots. Crew Molly and Tobi worked really really hard to make sure we had mountains of great food and hot drinks to warm us up when we needed. It’s not a luxury cruise boat but 100% recommend if you want good vibes and chilling out with a great bunch of people.

Great trip on ‘spank me’. Captain Alex made us feel very safe at all times and seemed to always know what was going on. The other crew Molly and Tobi cooked some excellent food and worked well under tough conditions.

Excellent trip. Genuine sailing experience in the Whitsundays. Doing 11 knots on a 82ft yacht just after sunrise, Great anchor spots, drop-off at whithaven beach long before the crowds come in, snorkeling, sunset, stargazing, whale-watching, great fresh made food, the full package. Thanks to the skilled and friendly crew. Arnie, Kate and Save were great, made all feel welcome, created a good vibe, shared a lot of knowledge and anecdotes. Even though we were probably not the average passengers on this trip as a family with teenage kids, we had a great time. We all disembarked with a big smile.

Had the best time on Spank Me sailing round the Whitsundays! The crew of Chris, Tobi and the skipper Arnie were amazing. Arnie was such a knowledgeable and considerate skipper, always making sure we arrived at the right spots when the conditions were good, whether it was good tides or quiet crowds for Whitehaven. He was also very respectful of the whales as it was breeding season for them and boats getting too close disturbs the young whales which I don’t think all boats do, so that was amazing! Tobiand Chris were great too and catered to us as vegans so well, we were amazingly fed!! The trip itself was amazing, such an awesome way to see the Whitsundays!!! So many nice viewing spots, sunsets and nature! We had such a great group, lots of like minded people who didn’t mind having a drink or two but didn’t just want to get pissed and party until 3am so we could all still enjoy the next day! The snorkelling was awesome, saw so many fishes, coral and whales whilst we were sailing from place to place! Couldn’t recommend this enough to anybody!

I went on the Spank Me boat and it was great fun. Very sociable but chill. We went to the best snorkeling spots and our skipper Alex did everything to make sure we had the best experience. Kate and Vikki were the crew and they were so lovely and made sure we were well fed and looked after, they went above and beyond for us. Alex had lots of interesting information to share with us. Some people went to bed at 9pm some stayed up until after 12 chatting and quietly listening to music on deck having a few cans, not a party boat, it’s a more relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend it. We went snorkeling 3 or 4 times in different locations. Slept really well on the boat too after all the sea air and healthy food.

We had a great trip on the avatar despite the rough weather. Ideal activities and lots of fun with other travellers on the boat too. The crew, Max and the girls, were fab too !!

Absolutely amazing experience. The crew of Alex, Max and Marie made sure we all had a fantastic time. Food was very good quality and plenty for everyone. Some amazing snorkling spots. Sunrise on Whitehaven beach was like something from a movie. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough!!

This was the best trip I ever did. The crew, Alex, Max and Marie were the best. They made sure we saw the most beautiful places and were the first ones at the spots. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious and enough for everyone. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a relaxt and fun trip because this is the absolute best!

Incredible tour with amazing crew!! Loved every second of it, even when Max played “do you wanna build a snowman” just for me, it was lovely. The snorkel was fantastic and they took us to incredible spots! Marie prepared amazing food for us every day and Alex delivered story after story! Will never forget!
