Note from The owner at Freight Train Whitsundays
“Hi my name is Captain Kev and I can guarantee you the price on Bookme.com.au is the total price! THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO PAY! You may be asking why so cheap? Well I drive the boat, I organise and shop the food you will eat, I take care of my maintenance and I own the yacht myself. This all saves a massive amount of money on wages that I have passed on to you. On this tour we include all the below. I hope to meet you soon. Kev“

Nous avons passé 2 jours et une nuit vraiment incroyables ! Le snorkeling était vraiment super avec des consignes sur le respect de la barrière de corail. Repas délicieux et de belles rencontres. L'equipage fait tout pour rendre notre séjour agréable, reveil matinal ce qui nous a permis d'arriver en premier a whitheaven beach. Nous recommandons sans hésiter !
Nous avons passé 2 jours et 1 nuit à bord du Freight Train, beau voilier, équipage complémentaire et au top ! Au programme: - Découverte des Îles Whitsundays - 3 belles sessions de snorkelling - Vie sur un bateau accompagnée de repas de qualité et d'une ambiance conviviale et festive. Nous recommandons grandement l'expérience Freight Train !
Très bon rapport qualité/prix, le capitaine était super et vous feras vivre un séjour qui sort de l'ordinaire et des gros tour opérateurs. Ce n'est pas un bateau de luxe donc si c'est ce que vous recherché passez votre chemin. Mais vous ne manquerez de rien sur celui-ci. Nourriture et crew sur le bateau parfait. N'hésitez pas, allez y!
Nous avons avons choisi de faire une croisière de 2 jours / 1 nuit dans les Whitesundays. C’était magique ! Des spots de plongée très sympa, un équipage au top. C’était vraiment réussi !

On se croit dans l'armée, le capitaine sait qu'il ne plaît pas mais ne fait manifestement aucun effort.
