Every Charter is a Different Kind of Perfect: Discover the Atlantic Princess Experience

Every Charter is a Different Kind of Perfect: Discover the Atlantic Princess Experience

Being out on the water invigorates the soul. Aboard Atlantic Princess, that feeling is merely the beginning of your personalised journey.

Whether you are planning a reef dive adventure, a relaxed family getaway, a milestone celebration, or a morning chasing coral trout, Atlantic Princess offers something truly unparalleled: a private charter meticulously tailored to your desires. No crowds, no compromises. Just Far North Queensland at its finest, experienced entirely on your terms.

Here, we give you a glimpse into the possibilities when you step aboard:

Luxury Day Trips to Some of the World’s Most Beautiful Spots

Not everyone has a week to spare, but that does not mean you have to miss the magic. Atlantic Princess offers day trip charters departing from Cairns Marlin Marina, heading to destinations like Fitzroy Island, Green Island, Michaelmas Cay, and Upolu Cay – each a unique slice of paradise.

Consider a day to Fitzroy Island, for example: after departing Cairns at 8:30am, spend a couple of hours of your morning snorkelling in crystal-blue waters, then return aboard for a leisurely gourmet lunch prepared by your onboard chef. Afterwards, take a scenic walk to the island’s lighthouse before a slow cruise home, enjoying a cheese board and refreshing drinks. You will be back at the marina by early evening, carrying a day of unforgettable memories.

Every itinerary is customisable. Skipper Chris Vadas personally contacts guests before their charter to discuss their desired activities, departure times, and overall vision for the day. After all, it is your superyacht for the day, and your experience should reflect that!

For guests with less time, half-day and sunset charter options are also available, offering a condensed yet equally luxurious experience on the water.

Diving and Snorkelling on the Outer Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s most magnificent natural wonders, and Atlantic Princess provides unparalleled access without the crowds. Diving and snorkelling charters visit pristine, exclusive reef sites, including Flynn Reef, Milln Reef, and Thetford Reef, within some of the most remote stretches of Far North Queensland’s coastline.

Multi-day dive charters extend up to three days and feature up to four guided dive or snorkel experiences daily, including on the final day, which begins with a sunrise dive or snorkel. Between sessions, guests return to the yacht for chef-prepared meals, afternoon snacks, and evenings spent unwinding on deck under a star-studded reef sky.

Complimentary snorkelling gear is provided on board, along with stand-up paddleboards and two kayaks for surface exploration. Dive packages are available for certified divers (minimum PADI Open Water or equivalent), and the crew can arrange a refresher course at Pro Dive Cairns for guests who require one.

Whether you are an experienced diver adding another reef to your logbook or a first-timer donning a mask, the experience is guided, supported, and truly spectacular.

Fishing Charters with a Luxury Twist

Atlantic Princess has partnered with Cairns Reef Fishing to create a distinctive offering for anglers: a fishing charter that combines the comfort of a private superyacht with the thrill of guided reef fishing on the Great Barrier Reef.

Groups of six to eight guests can choose from multi-day packages that integrate fishing days into an extended yacht stay, or a single-day fishing experience paired with a more leisurely time aboard. Target species include Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Spanish Mackerel, Nannygai, and many others, guided by local experts with intimate knowledge of these waters.

The appeal lies in the contrast. Spend the morning fishing the reef with a professional guide on a fully equipped fishing vessel. Return in the afternoon to the Atlantic Princess for a gourmet meal, a cold drink, and a comfortable place to recount the day’s adventures. This unique blend creates a fishing trip unlike any other.

Private Events and Special Occasions

A superyacht elevates any occasion to a truly significant event. Atlantic Princess is available for private events such as birthdays, corporate gatherings, anniversaries, weddings, and more, and the crew works with guests to craft an experience that perfectly suits the occasion.

A sunset charter typically involves guests boarding at Cairns Marlin Marina at dusk, cruising along the foreshore while canapés and drinks are served on the flybridge, and returning a few hours later, as the city lights shimmer on the water. Bring your own playlist, or live music can be arranged at an additional cost. For something more formal, a three-course wine-and-dine charter offers a full gourmet dining experience with matched beverages, all while cruising on the water.

Every event is private and personalised. Our crew handles the details so guests can focus entirely on the experience.

Family Charters: Space, Comfort, and Room to Explore

Family holidays are designed for unforgettable memories, and Atlantic Princess is perfectly equipped for such experiences. The superyacht accommodates six to eight guests across three air-conditioned staterooms, each with a private ensuite, ensuring unparalleled comfort and privacy for families or small groups throughout their stay.

Days can be spent snorkelling in the shallows around a sandy cay, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing onboard in bliss. Gourmet meals are prepared on board, and the itinerary is crafted around your family’s specific desires, whether that be island-hopping, reef exploration, or a mix of both.

From picture-perfect sandy cays near the Great Barrier Reef to the lush tropical landscapes of the islands, there is no shortage of places to explore. And with all amenities included on board, your family can relax and fully immerse themselves in the journey.

Plan Your Charter with Atlantic Princess

What makes Atlantic Princess truly exceptional is not just the yacht or the destinations, but the flexibility. Every charter is meticulously crafted around your preferences, with the skipper and crew working to make each experience feel genuinely personal and bespoke, rather than a pre-set package.

If you are planning a celebration, a family holiday, a bucket-list reef dive, or a few days fishing in Far North Queensland, our crew is eager to discuss your vision and curate an experience that perfectly suits your needs.
