Our annual sailing pilgrimage from Sydney to Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays is a Flying Fish firm favourite.
Departing Sydney, we sail north in coastal hops to Coffs Harbour, Southport, and Mooloolaba. Then, inside the Great Barrier Reef, we cruise to Great Keppel, Middle Percy Island, and through the 100 magic miles of the Whitsundays, finishing at Hamilton Island.
The passage gets progressively warmer as we head north towards the tropics. Once the prevailing southeast trade winds get behind us, we often enjoy champagne downwind sailing for hundreds of miles accompanied by migrating humpback whales.
Our Lord Howe Island Passage is a blue-water ocean sailing adventure to a stunning Pacific island destination.
World Heritage-listed as an area of outstanding natural beauty and named in National Geographic’s ‘Best of the World 2021’
travel list Lord Howe is an absolute jewel in the Pacific with beautiful beaches and a magnificent coral lagoon.
The diving and snorkelling here are world-class, and with the visitor numbers limited to just 400 at any one time, the island’s incredible ecosystem is protected now and for the future as ‘the world’s last paradise.
To sail to Lord Howe is a privilege that very few get to enjoy.
If you join a Flying Fish sailing adventure you will be one of our crew and you will therefore need some essential skills and experience before you jump in.
At a minimum, we like all our crew to have achieved the RYA Day Skipper level of competence or to have equivalent experience.
We also advise everyone going to sea to complete an Offshore Safety and Sea Survival course.
