Sea Raes arrives in the Whitsundays with luxe new charter packages

Luxury superyacht M.Y. Sea Raes has officially set sail for the Whitsundays, unveiling a new series of all-inclusive charter packages just in time for the region’s peak season. Running from July through October, these bespoke voyages combine barefoot luxury with curated culinary experiences, world-class service, and access to the most breathtaking destinations in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.

Crafted to capture the essence of Raes on Wategos’ signature hospitality, each charter offers tailored itineraries that include Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout, Hamilton Island and South Molle Island. With options for 1, 3, and 5-night getaways—as well as bespoke day charters—Sea Raes delivers elevated cruising for intimate escapes or group celebrations.

A new era of luxury on the water

Sea Raes’ all-inclusive packages include return transfers, guided hikes, premium beverages, and dining menus curated by Raes’ two-hatted executive chef, Jason Saxby. Guests can enjoy meals onboard or beachside, featuring dishes like salt-baked snapper with lemon myrtle crust, oysters with finger lime mignonette, and wagyu carpaccio with anchovy and mustard greens.

Additional experiences include snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding, jet skiing and hiking, while premium add-ons range from private live music performances and whisky tastings to helicopter tours, deep-sea diving and in-room massages.

Recently refitted by Chapman Yachting, Sea Raes boasts a 101ft tri-deck design with interiors by renowned Australian designer Tamsin Johnson. The yacht sleeps eight for overnight charters and can host up to 30 guests for day events.

Bookings now open

“Sea Raes is an expression of Raes signature hospitality, now available for charter in one of the world’s most spectacular settings,” said Raes General Manager Marty McCaig.

“Our goal is to create a journey that is as breathtaking as the destination itself.”

Whether it’s a Champagne picnic at Whitehaven Beach or a sunset aperitivo on the sundeck, Sea Raes offers a luxury sailing experience unlike any other.
