The evening

A ship that answers to your guest list

No public passengers, no shared spaces, no schedule but yours. Whitsunday Star is the boutique vessel of the fleet — a chef's counter instead of a buffet line, four tables instead of eighteen, and decks small enough that nobody ever loses the party.

Families take it for anniversaries, founders for their real friends, small companies for the Christmas that beats every previous one.

What's inside

Every element, engineered

Full exclusivity

Every deck, every bar, every sunset — private for your manifest.

Chef's counter

Dinner at the galley pass or a seated deck service — your call.

Flexible course

Bay circuit, island anchor or a slow river run — set with the captain.

Named producer

One person owns the evening end-to-end — their mobile is yours.

The format

Configured around your crowd

One to four tables in whatever mix fits — a tournament for the keen, a social table for the curious, a quiet lounge for the talkers. The ship reshapes itself to the manifest.

  • 1–4 tables, tournament or cash-style formats
  • Dining at the chef's counter or seated service
  • Sunset deck reserved for your ceremony or toast
  • Flexible course agreed with the master

Ninety people, one boat, zero chance of a stranger wandering in. My father's seventieth deserved nothing less.

FAQ

About this service

The specifics people ask about before booking this format.

Twelve guests is our minimum for a full charter — below that, seats at a Salon night or a block on a public evening usually make more sense. We'll tell you honestly which fits.
Whitsunday Star runs evening charters; overnight legs belong to the larger vessels. A private overnight on Coral Duchess can be arranged for bigger parties.
Bring a playlist and the ship's system plays it beautifully; bring a musician and our production team gives them power, light and a sea-view stage.
Family charters welcome children — a supervised lounge with activities runs while the adults play, and the galley keeps a proper kids' menu.
