EUREKA II  
Optional Introductory, Competent Crew or Inshore Course

Welcome to the Real Deal.

Eureka II, Aussie Adventure Sailing’s 4 year old state of the art Sydney 60 racing yacht is now available. The Whitsunday Islands are always a great experience however how you travel their waters makes the difference in terms of comfort and style.

If you want the rare opportunity to experience a yacht that is only three years old and still on the “Grand Prix” yacht racing circuit then this cruise is for you [In 2003 Eureka II won line honors in all 5 legs in its class of the Hamilton Island Yacht Race Week. In December 2004 Eureka II will again be attempting the ultimate challenge, its fourth Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.]. Experience invigorating high performance sailing on a modern yacht with all the current racing technology.

With its modern fit out with all the comforts of a cruising yacht, huge interior and share or private cabins Eureka II is a complete sailing yacht for only 14 passengers. Eureka II has the latest navigation equipment, leather upholstery, Large sail wardrobe, CD Player, TV Video, Hot water large clean open plan living. It is also a very fast yacht enabling you to see more of the Whitsunday's. On board Eureka II also offers Yachting Australia sail training courses which can be completed while you cruise the Whitsunday Islands or, periodically, join Eureka II on a 6 day 5 night coastal passage under the guidance of our qualified sailing instructors.

We believe in no set itinerary. The Eureka II crew will show to all the best sights of the Whitsunday’s based on guests interests, tide and weather conditions. Some of the attractions and activities that may be included are:

  • snorkeling fringing coral reefs
  • beautiful island beaches such as Whitehaven Beach
  • bush walks
  • island visits
  • Observations of marine life

Before and after the Sydney to Hobart Race in December 2004 Eureka II will be conducting coastal passages as shown in the table to the right. These coastal passages are fantastic for those looking for an adventure beyond the norm and those looking to increase their offshore sea miles.

Eureka II is available for Corporate and Private Charters, please contact us for details
