Introduction
Whitsunday bareboat operators are commonly asked by charterers if they need to be concerned about jellyfish or stingers. The answer to this question and “should I be concerned about having an accident when I am driving my car” is the same and that answer is yes but within reason.
Active Times
Box jelly fish stings have been recorded to have occurred in all months with January being the worst. The warmer period of the year spanning from the end of September to the beginning of April is considered the peak season. Which also aligns itself with the peak tourist season but I could not find a study which collates the two

On many hiking trails, hikers need not worry about getting lost because the trails are often marked with clear signs giving short explanations or story lines. Hikers wishing to journey longer hiking trails should be in good shape and have orienteering skills, as these can be quite a bit more challenging than day trip trails. On longer trails campfire sites are often far apart.

What is Bararboat Charter
Bareboat charter is a bit like leasing a car. The bareboat charterer is sometimes called a “deponents owner” charter. By definition a bareboat charter is an arrangement for the hiring of a boat, whereby no crew or provisions are included as part of the agreement; instead, the people who rent the boat from the owner are responsible for taking care of such things. In a bareboat or demise charter, the owner gives possession of the ship to the charterer and the charterer hires its own master and crew.

1/ Sail boat or Cruiser Try this quick quiz to help you discover if you are more receptive to sailing or motor cruising
Do I prefer adventure or comfort?
Do I look forward to the journey or the destination?
Backpacking is OK or I need a bit of privacy?
Great a bush camp or where’s the motel
If your all about the first alternative you would be OK on a sail boat. If the second alternative is more you, go got the motor cruiser. If your a bit of both it may swing on how long you intend to be on the charter but I would lean toward the motor cruiser.
