ALANI

M/Y ALANI — 82ft Sunseeker · Whitsundays & Great Barrier Reef An 82-foot Sunseeker needs little introduction. The British yard's signature blend of offshore capability and interior finish translates particularly well to these waters, where the run between anchorages is short, the light is relentless, and a yacht is judged on how comfortably it sits at rest as much as how it moves. ALANI is based year-round on Hamilton Island, which is the real point. This is not a yacht that visits the Whitsundays for a season — it works them continuously, across every month of the year, with the accumulated local knowledge that implies. The Great Barrier Reef is on the doorstep, and Whitehaven Beach is close enough that finding a quiet stretch of that silica sand to yourself is a matter of timing rather than luck. Accommodation is arranged over three cabins for six guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and a third cabin fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Itineraries are built around what you actually want from the day. Some charters never raise the anchor — the Whitsundays reward stillness, and there is a case for spending a full day in one bay watching the water change colour. Others are structured around reef time, beach landings and the water toys, which ALANI carries in quantity for guests who prefer their holiday active. The crew handle the planning, the provisioning and the local calls on weather and anchorage, so that the only decision left to you is where to be at sunset.
