Fantastic

Joan_R, Mar 2020

Such an amazing day we spent at Lady Enid!! Wonderful crew in the boat with excellent customer service, the food was fresh and super tasty. Definitely not a party crowded boat which we really appreciated! We want to thank to Marta for her attention all the times, and Matt for his patience, my wife daughter and I had one of the best experiences in our lives we'll remember this forever!!

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thank you so much! We pride ourselves on our customer service and tasty food, as well as the low numbers we sail with to ensure our guests have our full attention. That's our goal: "one of the best experiences in our lives we'll remember this forever!"

Whitsunday Must

Breathtaking views, impeccable hospitality, a wonderful excursion from the moment of pick up to drop off. This is an excursion we will always remember.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you Missy! We aim to please, and our crew are fantastic. So glad you have wonderful memories of your day of sailing the Whitsunday Islands on Lady Enid.

Amazing day on the Lady Enid

Shirley_F, Feb 2020

What a wonderful day from start to finish such a great experience. Crew so lovely and helpful explaining about the day and making sure we were all safe and enjoying the day. Food excellent and plentiful not to mention fizz and cheese on the return. If you want a day away from the party boats go with Lady Enid we are so pleased we did.

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are all about high levels of service, and are blessed with some of the best crew in town

Best trip ever!

emmarylibra, Aug 2019

It was my first trip sailing on the sea and definitely one of the best! We have a small group of 18 people and 3 crew on board. The weather is awesome we all feel relaxed on the Lady Enid. Food is great and the landscape is unrivaled..We spotted the whales/turtle/dolphins along our cruise and enjoyed snorkeling away from the crowd in Whitsunday island. Though it's a bit expensive, definitely worth it!

A fabulous day !!

Janine_M, Aug 2019

Beautiful sailing on the perfect yacht. Very attentive staff who delivered with a smile and really - you could not have asked for more

A fantastic day was had on the Lady Enid. The crew very friendly and very attentive. Thoroughly enjoyableble Lunch.

Stephanie_F, Jan 2019

The crew very attentive to my husband who was feeling a little under the weather, allowing him to steer the vessel quite a bit which did the trick to curb his stomach. But also it was great that he wad instructed on the finer points of sailing wjich he enjoyed thoroughly. Thankyou skipper for your care. Highly recommend this experience.

Lauren M, Mar 2017

This was a fantastic day! The staff was very friendly! We enjoyed a lot of time just sailing; my husband got to steer some, too. The look out is gorgeous, and we were led to a quiet area on the beach to relax and swim. The snorkeling was decent. We got a whole lot of tasty food throughout the day!

One of the best Day cruises ever...

Gary C, Jan 2017

One of the best Day cruises ever taken! David, Andrew and Jeremy were fantastic! Food was plentiful and timely presented from Welcome coffee, to morning Tea with scones and mini muffins. Salad selection, meats and prawns highlighted lunch. Fruit tray and afternoon bubbly made the homeward journey memorable. Snorkelling was great ! WhiteHaven beach vistas breathtaking and picture perfect!! A trip to remember and excellent value all round. Gary and Marlene Whitby CANADA

Unvergesslicher Tag!

Das Segeln in dieser wunderschönen Insellandschaft wird für uns unvergesslich bleiben!!! Das Schnorcheln war super! Wir wurden von der Crew professionel betreut und mit feinem Essen versorgt!! Vielen Dank!!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Vielen Dank! Wir freuen uns sehr auf Ihren Review. Thank you for your review, recommending us as an unforgettable day in island paradise that is the Whitsundays. Our Captain and crew are very professional, and take care of our guests in the most hospitable way. Our meals are delicious, specially designed by us to cater to many dietary requirements easily, and there's lots of food, all day long. If you find yourselves here again, please come again, our other tour to Langford Island, has even better snorkelling!

Verloren dag

Ella v, Aug 2019

Het begon als een mooie dag maar draaide uit in een drama. We begonnen rond 7.30 sochtends aan onze tocht naar whitsunday, na onderweg een half uurtje te hebben kunnen snorkelen viel helaas de motor uit rond 11 uur al. We gingen daarom terug naar de haven, met onderweg nog wel lunch te hebben gehad. De crew heeft ontzettend hun best gedaan om alsnog een goede dag te regelen. Nu kunnen zulke dingen natuurlijk gebeuren, maar is de afhandeling niet netjes gedaan. We zouden gebeld worden die zelfde dag voor een oplossing, welk maar niet kwam. Ik heb daarom maar zelf gebeld want ze hadden inmiddels een nieuwe tour voor ons geregeld voor de volgende dag. Hierbij zijn meerdere dingen beloofd, maar uiteinderlijk hebben wij maar 200 dollar van de 490 dollar terug gekregen. Voor een half uurtje snorkelen, een lunch, en een kapotte boot is dit erg weinig vinden wij zelf. Wij hebben hierdoor extra kosten- in totaal 600 dollar- moeten maken om uberhaupt op het eiland te komen (welke beloofd waren op de boot er niet te zouden komen). Hierover hebben wij gebeld maar hier dacht de eigenaar toch anders over. Helaas, ik zou deze tour daarom niet aanbevelen. Toch 2 sterren omdag de crew het top heeft gedaan ondanks de pech!

Ausflug wurde kurzfristig abgesagt

Nadine_D, May 2019

Der Ausflug wurde gegen 15 Uhr am Vortag abgesagt. Da man im Urlaub nicht ständig seine E-Mails checkt, haben wir die Nachricht erst drei Stunden später gesehen. Leider waren gegen 18 Uhr die anderen Veranstalter von Ausflügen bereits im Feierabend, so dass man keinen Ersatz buchen konnte. Hinzukommt, dass wir ohne Einwilligung auf einen anderen Tag gebucht wurden. Bisher haben wir weder eine Rückmeldung auf unsere Nachricht erhalten, dass wir an dem anderen Tag nicht können. Noch haben wir eine Reaktion auf unsere Nachricht erhalten, dass wir unser Geld zurück haben wollen. Unseriös und nicht zu empfehlen!!

Tolle exklusive Tour!

Ka1harina, Dec 2018

Der Segelausflug war ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Whitehaven Beach ist auf jeden Fall zu sehenswert. Die Versorgung an Bord war zu jeder Zeit einwandfrei :), tolle Crew und schönes Segelschiff. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Tag!

Ein absolut toller Tag! Super...

norbert l, Dec 2017

Ein absolut toller Tag! Super Schiff, tolle Crew und eine wunderschöne, relaxedeTour. Absolut empfehlenswert. Wir waren nur 9 Personen am Schiff, jede Menge Platz, super Essen, Crew sehr, sehr aufmerksam und ein unvergesslicher Tag! Es lohnt sich! Baden auf einem ruhigen Teil des Whitehaven Beach, gemütlicher Spaziergang zum Inlet HIll, nach einem herrlichen Lunch Schnorcheln in kleiner Gruppe. Rückfahrt mit Sekt und Käse und wieder echtem Segeln!
