Great Barrier Reef Private Expedition Cruise (min 4 day max 8 guests)
Overview
When you live aboard our yacht, your days adventure begins when you wake and continues unabated till well after dark. John & Lynne like to say that “their guests can go snorkelling over colourful corals accompanied by hundreds of friendly fish before breakfast and each day just gets better from there…”
All daily activities are personally guided which ensures your in depth appreciation of the wonders of nature both above and below the water. Lynne has been selected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) to be a “Master Reef Guide” (the highest honour that GBRMPA can bestow). She is a “Citizen Scientist” specialising in the Reef World which has been her passion for more than 50 years. John & Lynne have a unique permit issued by GBRMPA granting them access to most of the Marine Park and they have spent a lifetime discovering its secrets that they willingly share with their guests.

What To Expect
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest and most diverse eco system in the world. It is the world’s largest Marine Reserve (about half the size of Texas) and contains the largest single structure made by living organisms that is visible on Earth from outer space. Within the Reserve are more than 10% of the world’s species of marine fish, over four thousand species of hard & soft corals and six of the world’s seven species of turtles. Giant Humpback Whales migrate to its warm crystal clear waterways every year to give birth to their babies.
John and Lynne Boyce designed and built their yacht incorporating all the features necessary for safety and comfort at sea. Their dream boat “Sydney Sundancer” is now Australia’s most awarded charter yacht. The Boyces who have been exploring the Marine Reserve for more than 30 years look forward to sharing their knowledge and experience. They are your key to discovering the water wonderland that is Australia’s most treasured natural icon.
