    Whether you're an adventure seeker looking for fast paced sailing holidays or just after some sailing lessons in the Whitsundays, Freight Train is the charter boat for you.

    Freight Train was designed by German Frers and constructed from aluminum in Perth, Western Australia. The design specs produced a world beating yacht with an illustrious racing career.

    Freight Train won and was placed in many races including the Kenwood Cup in Hawaii, the Burns Phillip Maxi Boat Series, the World Famous Sydney to Hobart and the Sir James Hardie Northern Islands race. Most famous was its 1983 win in the Maxi Division of the Sydney to Hobart race.

    Although officially retired from ocean racing, Freight Train is still a regular competitor in local races throughout the Whitsunday Islands.

Experience fantastic snorkelling throughout the Whitsundays or take advantage of the FREE DIVE available to all guests.
