The Wrap: After spending 10 nights at cruising the Whitsundays, what did our family from the Gold Coast (Gold Coast Boat Club members) have to say? Rob: (2nd time Whitsundays 1st with CCY) Best holiday in a long time, returning to a place where Jen and I are truly happy, rock hopping with Kaitlyn, Awesome dives, building sandcastles, collecting lifetime memories and precious time with family. Thank you CCY! Jen: A truly amazing place and the best company to share it with. highlight teaching Kaitlyn to snorkel. David:(First time Whitsundays) Great trip! Good diving and good company - doesnt get much better. Margaret:(First time Whitsundays) Great holiday. Australia continues to amaze me with its places of natural beauty. Thanks to family who made it a holiday to remember. Kaitlyn :Did actually get a new snorkel set for Christmas last year after loosing her first set on the second last day of our charter! Her first set was purchased by Robert in Bundaberg while visiting nanna and gramps. When Robert and Kaitlyn came home with the snorkel set Jen just looked at them and said, ‘how do you expect her to use that?’ (to be fair, Kaitlyn was only 18mth old at the time). Moving forward a two years it was actually Jen who spent the time with Kaitlyn in the pool at home and then in the shallows of the Whitsunday beaches teaching her about snorkelling and telling her how cool it will be. Nothing can describe the excitement in Kaitlyn’s whole body the first time she got it all together and swam out over a bommie to see a massive school of fish – she came up saying (well spluttering and trying not to swallow water) – there are real fish under here mummy! real fish and I can see them! Jen and Rob chose Cumberland from the first time they chartered in the Whitsundays. Aboard an older Seawind from another company that was not really that well maintained (it seamed to leak even when it wasn’t raining!) we met new friends at Butterfly Bay who spoke highly of Cumberland and their boat was immaculate – we said if we ever come back, we’re going to check out Cumberland. Four years later we did exactly that and were not disappointed. The booking was easy, loading the boat was no problem, there was no stress at all and although plenty of friendly and helpful advice on hand over the raidio.
