Sailing purists can keep their winches. Powerplay is the fast, air-conditioned way around the Whitsundays, a powered catamaran that spends less time in transit and more time at the good bits, with a heated jacuzzi on deck for golden hour and private cabins waiting below. The two days and two nights cover the region's podium finishers: Whitehaven Beach, the Hill Inlet lookout, and snorkelling the reefs with wetsuits, stinger suits and all equipment included. Stand-up paddleboards come out at anchor, sunrises and sunsets come out on schedule, and freshly prepared meals plus morning and afternoon tea keep the galley busy. Two toilets and showers, linen and bath towels included, this is the trip for people who want the islands without the roughing-it. It's capped at 16 guests, which keeps the jacuzzi maths friendly. BYO drinks and a beach towel; comfort's already aboard.

The operator's track record
"They took us to bays which were amazing full of sea life and even had sharks by our boat at night. … took us to Whitehaven beach early, which was the best decision. By 10am it was absolutely packed and would’ve ruined the experience."
