Whitsunday Rent A Yacht is Australia's largest Australian owned yacht rental company. Based at Shute Harbour, gateway to the Whitsundays, we provide a friendly, personalised service to ensure maximum enjoyment from your Whitsundays charter experience.


Before you cruise the Whitsundays you will meet with us at our recently new premises at Shute Harbour.  The WRAY team has operated our Whitsundays charter business from this private jetty for over 20 years, giving thousands of holiday makers the ultimate Whitsundays charter experience.

Before you depart on your Whitsundays charter you can relax and enjoy light refreshments on the breezy timber sun deck overlooking picturesque Shute Harbour.  When you and your crew are ready to set sail and cruise the Whitsundays, it's just a short walk down the jetty to your sail or power boat.

 Each of the islands in the Whitsunday archipelago has it's own special identity. Some fall to the turquoise sea as a spectacular rocky outcrop, others gradually slope away to beautiful sandy beaches while others offer sandy inlets, fringing coral reef, bays and coves. With hundreds of safe anchorages the Whitsundays is the place to 'realise your dream'.

Secluded anchorages are seldom more than an hour apart where white sandy beaches await you and crystal clear waters entice you to explore the coral kingdom below.

Cruise to uninhabited islands for lazy days under Queensland's famous sunshine where your only companions might be whales, dolphins and turtles.
