Spank Me sleeps 27 guests and three crew in open-plan bunk rooms, a mix of share-singles and share-doubles, which makes her a social boat by design. The format is two days, two nights, with snorkel excursions every day.
The route can take in Whitehaven Beach, Hook, Hayman, Border and Whitsunday Islands, with snorkelling at Luncheon Bay, Caves Cove, Blue Pearl Bay and other spots on the fringing reef, snorkel gear and stinger suits included. You can hoist the mainsail and drop anchor with the crew, or stay on the deck and watch the islands go by. Sunsets are best taken from the prow.
Evenings are hands-on in the galley: taco and pasta nights, salad wraps, fresh bread and salads, with continental breakfasts in the mornings. All meals, linen, local fees and the crew are in; alcohol and snacks aren't. Per the operator's policy, cancelling less than 21 days before departure forfeits the full trip price.

Meet the crew at the marina and cast off on Spank Me, an 82-foot ex-racing yacht, for two nights through the Whitsunday Islands. Help hoist the sails or just soak up the scenery with the best sailing playlist in the Whitsundays. Snorkel spots such as Luncheon Bay, Caves Cove and Blue Pearl Bay have coral gardens, schools of fish and sea turtles. After dinner, underwater blue lights draw sea life to the boat and the sky fills with stars.
Breakfast with a view, then Whitehaven Beach, where powder-soft silica sands swirl into the turquoise sea, and a short hike to Hill Inlet Lookout for panoramic views over it. More snorkelling at the reefs through the day, then another night aboard.
Wake to the sound of the ocean and sail back to Airlie Beach, arriving early in the morning (around 8 to 9am, subject to weather and tides).
