GREAT ESCAPE IV

GREAT ESCAPE — Kimberley, Australia Some cruising grounds reward size; the Kimberley rewards the opposite. GREAT ESCAPE is built around that logic — a vessel compact enough to push further into the region's intricate coastline, slipping into the tidal channels and narrow inlets that larger ships must admire from a distance. She accommodates 14 guests across seven cabins, with detailed bed configurations available on request. Itineraries here are genuinely open. Rather than a fixed route repeated week after week, the programme is shaped around what matters to the guests aboard — fishing, photography, the rhythm of the tides, or simply the pace at which you want to move. The Kimberley's conditions reward that flexibility: timing is everything on this coast, and a crew with the latitude to adjust makes the difference between seeing a place and understanding it. An onboard helicopter is available as an optional extra, and it changes the scale of what a week can cover. Waterfalls reachable no other way, ancient Indigenous rock art sites, landlocked fishing spots known to very few — all within reach of a morning's flight, and back aboard for lunch. A professional crew looks after the vessel and her guests throughout, with the regional knowledge this coastline demands.
