At a glance

Hammer is the active, social overnight pick for travellers who want hands-on sailing rather than a private-cabin escape. The standard published price is $699, including meals, bedding, marine fees and snorkel gear. Prosail designs the trip mainly for ages 18–39, but does not publish a hard upper age limit; the trade-off is shared compact accommodation and an energetic group format.

  • The trip runs for two days and two nights from Coral Sea Marina and carries up to 23 guests.
  • Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet and up to three fringing-reef snorkel locations are part of the planned experience.
  • The usual audience is 18–39, but suitability depends on fitness and comfort with the social adventure format rather than a strict upper age cutoff.

Why stay overnight instead of taking two day tours?

An overnight boat replaces repeated marina transfers with sunsets, anchorages and early access within the islands. It also changes the experience: accommodation, group chemistry and sea conditions matter as much as the stops.

Prosail currently lists Sunday, Wednesday and Friday departures. Guests meet at 1:30pm for a 2:00pm departure and return by 11:00am on the final day; the booking confirmation remains the source for the final operating schedule.

What is the sleeping setup on Hammer?

The 22.5-metre yacht has single and double beds rather than hotel-style private ensuite rooms. Confirm how beds are assigned, what luggage is allowed and whether the shared layout matches your comfort expectations.

Who gets the best value from this trip?

Travellers who would otherwise buy separate Whitehaven and snorkelling days can gain time on the water, meals and two nights in one fare. Someone wanting privacy or low physical effort should compare a small-cabin catamaran instead.

Common questions

Can travellers over 39 join Hammer?
