Lady Enid: a beautiful classic 72' yacht, wonderful crew, fabulous food, Iconic Whitsunday locations Lady Enid is operated by Iconic Whitsunday Adventures

Lady Enid will offers three tours, exploring the Whitsundays with a premium, relaxed, adults only atmosphere. One beautiful yacht, three exciting options:
- Whitehaven Beach + snorkeling
- Langford Island + snorkeling
- Sunset sailing

Lady Enid recreates that classic age of yachting enjoyed in the 1960’s when sailing was more about elegance and chic than corporate sponsorship and carbon fibre

. The experience of sailing on this beautiful and rare classic gives as much to the day as the the destination. Become involved as much or as little as you like, help set sails, take a turn on the helm or lean back and relax with your favourite book, listen to music or simply daydream and be beguiled at the uninterrupted beauty of the Whitsunday Islands. Lady Enid departs from Coral Sea Marina South in the vibrant seaside town of Airlie Beach. Launched in 1961 this beautiful John G Alden Ketch takes us back in time to the days when Australia’s most famous sailing races were dominated not by technology and sponsorship, but by beautiful timber boats designed with timeless, graceful lines. Lady Enid is well known within the established Australian yachting fraternity and has a long tradition of racing including five Sydney – Hobart races and 15 Brisbane – Gladstone races, sealing her place in Australian racing history when she came first over the line in the first ever Sydney – Brisbane (now Mooloolaba) race in 1964. Built by John Cockle at his builder’s yards in Milperra, Sydney and named after his wife Enid.

Come sail with us this Sunday, on actual Whit Sunday!

Did you know Sunday is 'Whit Sunday'??

We are running both Viper Whitsundays and Lady Enid Sailing to Whitehaven Beach. Weather looks fab, so come for a spin!

If you want to feel slightly like Lieutenant Cook (he wasn't a Captain yet!) when he sailed down the Queensland Coast in 1770 on Whit Sunday (well actually it was Monday, but our crew can tell you that story), join us on traditional sailing ship Lady Enid, and feel the wind in your hair, the sails unfurled above you, as you follow the same route taken 255 years ago!

🌧🌬🌊 While this weather is not playing nice, it's the perfect time to enjoy a magnificent meal at one of our amazing local restaurants!

We can highly recommend The Belvedere at Toscana for a sumptuous tasting menu, impeccable matched wines, and a lovely elevated view from which you can watch the clouds and rain roll over the islands

Go on, treat yourself!
