Welcome to Sailing Amoray! We are an ordinary Australian family of 3 who have made our dreams become reality. We recently brought our first sailing yacht “Amoray” and are setting sail up the Queensland Coast and hopefully internationally one day soon (if COVID restrictions ever ease). We want to create videos so that everyone can follow along our journey as we learn and discover what this beautiful world has to offer, as well as creating lifelong memories for our daughter. We will be releasing weekly videos every Sunday (AEST) to keep you updated on our travels. Contact info: Email: sailingamoray@gmail.com

Well, I hope the saying 'better late than never' still applies to uploading YouTube vids as we know we have been MIA for a few weeks so a big APOLOGY if you have all been missing us!! All will be revealed soon (we promise).
We continue our reef hop south and arrive at Fitzroy Reef, which is located...

After a week at Yeppoon Marina (escaping the roll at the Keppels) we couldn't resist the most perfect weather window to head out and explore the Capricorn and Bunker group of Islands. First stop: North West Island. This island is the largest coral cay in the Capricorn Group and is a pretty popular camping...
...
We leave from Goldsmith Island for a quick sail to Keswick and St Bees Island for the night! Our goal for our trip south was to try and visit as many places that we missed on our way north and these islands didn't disappoint! We stop off at Middle Percy Island again, however this time we chose not to...

We continue our sail south and stumble across quite the little beauty on Thomas Island. We initially missed this island on our way north earlier in the year, however after hearing AMAZING recommendations from our mates we decided we had to go there. The Whitsunday Magic Miles book states this island...

After hanging out at Horseshoe Bay (Magnetic Island) waiting for the next lot of northerly winds to kick it, we finally set sail at 4am. We like start sailing either at night/early hours of the morning to make the most of the time Adaline is still asleep! This mean less time she is on the boat and more...

We finally said goodbye to the Whitsunday's after an incredible 8 weeks exploring the islands. Despite being so late in the 'season' we headed north, passing in the opposite direction to many other boats sailing south away from cyclones. We had heard incredible things about Cape Gloucester Beach Resort...

Join us as we continue our reef hopping adventure to Little Black Reef (a short sail from Hardy Reef). With little information available on this reef, we were fortunate enough to hear some other boats on the radio that were already there. With a quick call, we found out some finer details and we were...

We FINALLY make it to the outer reef! We had been waiting weeks for a perfect weather window to sail to the outer Great Barrier Reef. With no wind in site, we motored out to Bait Reef. We spent the night here snorkelling, diving, paddle boarding, swimming and hanging out with mates. We were visited frequently...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk through an abandoned resort? Join us as we take a look around the once popular 'Long Island Resort' at Happy Bay, Long Island. We were lucky enough to have our honeymoon here in 2011 so it was really sad to see it now abandoned and run down. We met...

With food and gas supplies running low, we decide to do a quick (2 hour sail) run into Airlie Beach. We planned on just anchoring at Abel Point to avoid paying expensive marina fees, however because our insurance does not cover us at anchor/on a mooring in this area, one of us had to stay on the boat....
...
With our visitors gone we set sail to explore more of what the beautiful Whitsundays has to offer. We try something we have ALWAYS wanted to do but never been brave enough to risk loosing our drone over and we hit up Daydream Island for a bit of reminiscing on our wedding day.
With some strong winds...

We take you on a very quick journey of just some of the beautiful spots around the Whitsunday Islands while we have some special visitors onboard. We make the most of perfect weather conditions to explore Whitehaven beach and dive at Manta Ray Bay (unfortunately no Mantra Ray's were seen here).
