Entice is one of the Twin catamarans owned by Isail. The other vessel is called On Ice and they are affectionately called “The Entice Catamarans”. This means that no matter which one you are lucky enough to book onto, you will have the same epic, scenic sailing adventure! Entice has an exciting itinerary but also includes plenty of time to sit back and relax as you make your way around the islands for one unforgettable experience.
Entice is suitable for all types of travellers including couples, families, solo travellers and the young at heart. The vessel takes a maximum of 10 guests allowing plenty of space for on board activities. You will have the opportunity to snorkel the colourful fringing reef, view the coral gardens from above on a paddle board, glide along the water in the glass bottom kayak or cruise amongst the marine life using one of the sea scooters!
Our crew will endeavour to visit the iconic Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet on every departure. Here you will see the famous swirling sands and enjoy some beach time. The pure white silica sand and the crystal clear turquoise waters really are a thing of beauty!
The islands deserve much more than a quick visit to a few of the highlights. A quality small group, two night sailing tour is one of the best ways to explore the magical Whitsundays. Sailing into the sunset, dining under the stars, enjoying a morning coffee whilst watching turtles come up to the surface, getting to know new people and the experience of moving under the power of wind alone, are all things that should be experienced at least once in a lifetime.
Entice provides all snorkelling gear on board. You also have extra equipment included such as a Glass Bottom Canoe, Sea Scooters and Stand up Paddleboards. All of these extra activities contribute to what makes the Entice trip such a fun and exciting experience.

Pack light. You can store your luggage at check in. You’ll get taken to the boat, shown your accommodation and given a short introduction of the crew and the boat … and then you are heading out to sea.
SUNSET SAILING
Entice sets off to the Whitsunday Islands and after a brief sailing introduction you and your fellow sailors will enjoy a sunset sail. Feel free to grab a drink. A snack (entree) will be served after dropping sails.
EVENING ON THE BOAT
The evenings are for relaxing, socialising or star gazing. A generous buffet dinner will also be served. This is a great time to exchange travel tales or ask the crew about marine life.
GOOD MORNING
Start the day with the smell of coffee. Breakfast is ready for you at 7am. After breakfast the tour heads to the 1st snorkelling location.
SNORKELLING
ISail snorkels in bays protected from wind and waves (e.g. Dumbbell Island). Listen to the snorkel brief, then put on your snorkel suit and grab a mask. Or how about trying out the SeaScooter, effortless gliding through the water chasing fish. Our crew will drive you directly to the corals and fish with the inflatable dinghy (rubber ducky). Your snorkel guide will stay with you the whole time to watch over you and assist you. Enjoy the great underwater world with peace of mind.
STAND UP PADDLEBOARDING (SUP)
Go for a relaxing paddle in a bay. Just you and your board immersed in nature.
WHITEHAVEN BEACH & HILL INLET
From Tongue Bay on Whitsunday Island we will explore Whitehaven Beach. Our crew drives you over to Whitsunday Island to the start of the Lookout walk. After a short bush walk you will enjoy the most magnificent views from Hill Inlet Lookout. On the other side of Tongue Point awaits Whitehaven Beach. Enjoy some time here relaxing, sun baking and swimming.
THE LAST DAY
After breakfast, enjoy another snorkel site on the morning of your last day in the Whitsunday Islands (e.g. Hayman Island’s Blue Pearl Bay). A big morning tea follows. Get ready for another exciting sail adventure back to Airlie Beach.
