Why choose Charter Boat Port Douglas?

As one of the few charter boat companies that hold a Great Barrier Reef Park Permit that allows us to visit the reef every single day of the year, we really are the professionals in this field. We also have our own full-time, local, experienced crew, who are hand-picked for their first-class customer service, knowledge, experience and safety. They know where all of the best marine life likes to hide, which means that they can ensure you see as much as possible.

The Great Barrier Reef is a once in a lifetime experience for many, so why not make it a day to remember by choosing to dive or snorkel with the professionals. We are a PADI 5 Star Dive Centre, with our very own luxurious charter vessel.

We have the luxury of tailor-making our day and choosing our dive and snorkel sites to suit the needs of our passengers, whether that be a secluded sand cay to relax on, shallow, crystal clear waters perfect for snorkelers, or more adventures sites for the experienced diver. Whatever you need to make it a perfect experience, we can make it happen!

Our unique features

Not only is it important to consider when choosing a charter boat, whether the vessel suits your needs, are the staff up to looking after you in a place that is their second home The Great Barrier Reef. Both our staff and our vessel Independence 1 work in tandem to provide the best choice for your individual charter day. We take snorkellers and divers out to the reef every day, but we can offer so much more!

In the charter boat industry it is unique for a vessel to have the same steady crew that work that boat on a daily basis.
