Looking for the ultimate tropical escape? Just 45 minutes from Cairns lies Fitzroy Island, a breathtaking paradise with white coral beaches, turquoise waters, and towering granite boulders. With a private yacht charter aboard the luxurious Atlantic Princess Superyacht, you can experience this stunning destination in the Coral Sea like never before.
Fitzroy Island is a popular destination with tourists and Cairns locals alike. Skip the crowds and embrace exclusivity with a superyacht charter off the coast of Cairns as you snorkel, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) around the island’s pristine waters. Stroll along lush rainforest paths to iconic Nudey Beach – winner of Brad Farmer’s Best Australian Beach 2018. Don’t let the name worry you; Nudey Beach isn’t clothing optional, but it is a must-visit for its beauty and its feeling of total seclusion from the world.
Fitzroy Island is a haven for nature enthusiasts. Spot goannas, monitor lizards, orange-footed scrubfowl, and sea eagles on the island trails, or discover vibrant coral reefs just below the crystal-clear surface of the water. Enter this underwater world and be greeted by a myriad of marine life, including turtles and tropical fish such as clownfish, angelfish, parrotfish, large groupers and cod, and even whales if it’s the right season!
Prefer to stay dry? The Turtle Rehabilitation Centre offers a unique glimpse into conservation efforts. This volunteer-run centre allows you to get up close and personal with the rescued turtles undergoing loving rehabilitation and care before their release back into the waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Note – the Fitzroy Island Turtle Rehab Centre does require booking for your best bet at attending a Turtle Talk.
Other opportunities on the land of Fitzroy Island include the bushwalking tracks such as the Lighthouse and Summit walks. Traipse up to the Summit, the highest vantage point on the island, and enjoy stunning 360-degree views, and head to the eastern end to see the famous lighthouse. Fitzroy Island is a little piece of history off Far North Queensland’s coast – during World War II, it was converted into a military base to help to protect the mainland. Most of these walking trails were formed during this time, which is why they are now known for stellar views and vantage points.
On your private yacht to Fitzroy Island, you will encounter all the beauty this idyllic spot has to offer, with the luxury of an itinerary tailored to your exact desires, gourmet meals prepared onboard by our talented chef, and all the opulence of a five-star superyacht experience.
Make your getaway unforgettable. Book a private yacht charter through the Coral Sea with the Atlantic Princess and enjoy Fitzroy Island’s natural beauty, adventure, and tranquillity, all at your own pace.
