Why charter this Oceanis 48 - 5 cab.
5 cabins for 10 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 3.3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 14,6 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Oceanis 48 - 5 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 5 cabins and 3 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
A week in the Whitsundays from Airlie Beach
Sailing the Whitsundays is all about the south-easterly trades: the 74 islands sit close together inside the Great Barrier Reef, so the wind, not the distance, decides each night’s anchorage. Whitsunday Coast Airport (PPP) is a short drive, with Hamilton Island (HTI) reachable by air within the group. For the first night, pick a bay in the lee once the forecast is in, Nara Inlet on Hook Island or Cid Harbour both sitting out of the blow. From there the sailing stays among the islands on legs rarely over fifteen miles, each stop chosen for shelter and the last day held near Airlie for the run in.
