Bay-to-Bay Yacht Race Spectator Cruise

The annual Bay-to-Bay Yacht Race is the premier sailing race on the Fraser Coast.

This 2-day race is spectacular to behold as many vessels from different categories battle it out over the 87km course from Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay.

You will hear some people and kids on this cruise cheer on their family and friends as they sail past.

Departing from The Boat Club at 9:15am aboard the M.V. Amaroo we'll cruise along the spectacular scenic west coast of K'gari (Fraser Island), through the magical Great Sandy Straights to meet the fleet at Garry's Anchorage, where the second day of racing will commence from. 

We will also see an abundance of wildlife that call these protected waters home. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, dugong and maybe a dingo on the island. You will pass the sensational sandy cliffs on the island and we pass kingfisher resort and keep heading south.

As the fleet navigates north to Hervey Bay we'll cruise alongside witnessing the action as crews jostle for position. With multiple categories and some truly fast single and multi-hull vessels, there's always some dramatic action!

After the action we make our way back to The Boat Club in time for lunch with a 10% discount on offer all day for food and coffee with your boarding pass.

Tickets from $70.00

Includes: A light morning tea

Full canteen & Bar facilities on-board
