A great day out on a classy vessel, a vibrant crew that added to the journey and great food. Always the dilemma though of not enough time at the 2 stops: Whitehaven Beach & snorkelling stop and yet back to shore almost an hour earlier. The snorkelling area wasn’t great with dull coral and few fish but not the crew’s fault. Pretty wild on the way out with waves coming over but that added to the fun and appreciation of the boat and its history. Nice to have an adult only experience too.

We had a lovely day out on the Lady Enid. It definitely felt like a more premium trip with the little touches like cappuccino when boarding in the morning, scones with cream and fizz with cheese board on the way back watching the sunset.
Whitehaven was just breath taking and the snorkelling was good but not the best we have done, I did see a turtle though!
Please note that if you want any soft drinks or beers etc that this is charged on the boat.

This is a must do when visiting Airlie Beach, Pete, Jasmine & Chris were the perfect hosts & despite the choppy start (they’re not responsible for the weather) they made an absolutely fantastic experience. Their knowledge of the Whitsundays, Whitehaven Beach & the surrounds were valuable & made the trip more interesting. The refreshments, scones brownies & delicious lunch were perfect too. Thank you.. I will certainly do this trip again, next time I return to Australia. The sailing boat & its history was very good too.

This was the most amazing day out. Fantastic service, the little touches such as the scones jam & cream and fruit platter on the sail out, the wonderful friendly captain and crew, excellent snorkelling spot and trip out to Whitehaven beach
The lunch was superb and the history of the yacht was so interesting
Would highly recommend this day out on Lady Enid
5 star all the way
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks Sharon for your 5 star review of Lady Enid!
We don't scrimp on the food or service, do we! Our captain and crew are so great, they really love making sure our guests have the best Whitsunday sailing experience.
Thank you so much for recommending Lady Enid.

Thank you so much Cortney! I love this: "hands down one of the best tours I've ever been on!!" That's what we strive for!
If you come back to Airlie Beach, please check out our other tour to Langford Island. It's a local favourite and much lesser known. The sand cay is beautiful and the snorkelling in this area is even better!

Such an amazing day we spent at Lady Enid!! Wonderful crew in the boat with excellent customer service, the food was fresh and super tasty. Definitely not a party crowded boat which we really appreciated! We want to thank to Marta for her attention all the times, and Matt for his patience, my wife daughter and I had one of the best experiences in our lives we'll remember this forever!!
Response from Host, Mar 2020
Thank you so much! We pride ourselves on our customer service and tasty food, as well as the low numbers we sail with to ensure our guests have our full attention. That's our goal: "one of the best experiences in our lives we'll remember this forever!"

Breathtaking views, impeccable hospitality, a wonderful excursion from the moment of pick up to drop off. This is an excursion we will always remember.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you Missy! We aim to please, and our crew are fantastic. So glad you have wonderful memories of your day of sailing the Whitsunday Islands on Lady Enid.
Shirley_F, Feb 2020
What a wonderful day from start to finish such a great experience. Crew so lovely and helpful explaining about the day and making sure we were all safe and enjoying the day. Food excellent and plentiful not to mention fizz and cheese on the return. If you want a day away from the party boats go with Lady Enid we are so pleased we did.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are all about high levels of service, and are blessed with some of the best crew in town

It was my first trip sailing on the sea and definitely one of the best! We have a small group of 18 people and 3 crew on board. The weather is awesome we all feel relaxed on the Lady Enid. Food is great and the landscape is unrivaled..We spotted the whales/turtle/dolphins along our cruise and enjoyed snorkeling away from the crowd in Whitsunday island. Though it's a bit expensive, definitely worth it!

Beautiful sailing on the perfect yacht. Very attentive staff who delivered with a smile and really - you could not have asked for more
Stephanie_F, Jan 2019
The crew very attentive to my husband who was feeling a little under the weather, allowing him to steer the vessel quite a bit which did the trick to curb his stomach. But also it was great that he wad instructed on the finer points of sailing wjich he enjoyed thoroughly. Thankyou skipper for your care. Highly recommend this experience.

Excellent day, very pleasant owner and staff..Can not fault the day. Recommended.
Lauren M, Mar 2017
This was a fantastic day! The staff was very friendly! We enjoyed a lot of time just sailing; my husband got to steer some, too. The look out is gorgeous, and we were led to a quiet area on the beach to relax and swim. The snorkeling was decent. We got a whole lot of tasty food throughout the day!
Gary C, Jan 2017
One of the best Day cruises ever taken! David, Andrew and Jeremy were fantastic!
Food was plentiful and timely presented from Welcome coffee, to morning Tea with scones and mini muffins. Salad selection, meats and prawns highlighted lunch. Fruit tray and afternoon bubbly made the homeward journey memorable.
Snorkelling was great !
WhiteHaven beach vistas breathtaking and picture perfect!!
A trip to remember and excellent value all round.

Great sailing day with super nice crew and good food!! Whitehaven must be seen! Snorkeling was unfortunately a big disappointment, you didn't see anything in the murky water!

Das Segeln in dieser wunderschönen Insellandschaft wird für uns unvergesslich bleiben!!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023
Vielen Dank! Wir freuen uns sehr auf Ihren Review.
Thank you for your review, recommending us as an unforgettable day in island paradise that is the Whitsundays.
Our Captain and crew are very professional, and take care of our guests in the most hospitable way. Our meals are delicious, specially designed by us to cater to many dietary requirements easily, and there's lots of food, all day long.
If you find yourselves here again, please come again, our other tour to Langford Island, has even better snorkelling!

Het begon als een mooie dag maar draaide uit in een drama. We begonnen rond 7.30 sochtends aan onze tocht naar whitsunday, na onderweg een half uurtje te hebben kunnen snorkelen viel helaas de motor uit rond 11 uur al. We gingen daarom terug naar de haven, met onderweg nog wel lunch te hebben gehad. De crew heeft ontzettend hun best gedaan om alsnog een goede dag te regelen. Nu kunnen zulke dingen natuurlijk gebeuren, maar is de afhandeling niet netjes gedaan. We zouden gebeld worden die zelfde dag voor een oplossing, welk maar niet kwam. Ik heb daarom maar zelf gebeld want ze hadden inmiddels een nieuwe tour voor ons geregeld voor de volgende dag. Hierbij zijn meerdere dingen beloofd, maar uiteinderlijk hebben wij maar 200 dollar van de 490 dollar terug gekregen. Voor een half uurtje snorkelen, een lunch, en een kapotte boot is dit erg weinig vinden wij zelf. Wij hebben hierdoor extra kosten- in totaal 600 dollar- moeten maken om uberhaupt op het eiland te komen (welke beloofd waren op de boot er niet te zouden komen). Hierover hebben wij gebeld maar hier dacht de eigenaar toch anders over. Helaas, ik zou deze tour daarom niet aanbevelen. Toch 2 sterren omdag de crew het top heeft gedaan ondanks de pech!

Der Ausflug wurde gegen 15 Uhr am Vortag abgesagt. Da man im Urlaub nicht ständig seine E-Mails checkt, haben wir die Nachricht erst drei Stunden später gesehen. Leider waren gegen 18 Uhr die anderen Veranstalter von Ausflügen bereits im Feierabend, so dass man keinen Ersatz buchen konnte. Hinzukommt, dass wir ohne Einwilligung auf einen anderen Tag gebucht wurden. Bisher haben wir weder eine Rückmeldung auf unsere Nachricht erhalten, dass wir an dem anderen Tag nicht können. Noch haben wir eine Reaktion auf unsere Nachricht erhalten, dass wir unser Geld zurück haben wollen.
Unseriös und nicht zu empfehlen!!

Der Segelausflug war ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Whitehaven Beach ist auf jeden Fall zu sehenswert. Die Versorgung an Bord war zu jeder Zeit einwandfrei :), tolle Crew und schönes Segelschiff. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Tag!
norbert l, Dec 2017
Ein absolut toller Tag! Super Schiff, tolle Crew und eine wunderschöne, relaxedeTour. Absolut empfehlenswert. Wir waren nur 9 Personen am Schiff, jede Menge Platz, super Essen, Crew sehr, sehr aufmerksam und ein unvergesslicher Tag! Es lohnt sich!
Baden auf einem ruhigen Teil des Whitehaven Beach, gemütlicher Spaziergang zum Inlet HIll, nach einem herrlichen Lunch Schnorcheln in kleiner Gruppe. Rückfahrt mit Sekt und Käse und wieder echtem Segeln!
