About Destiny Blue Charters

Destiny Blue Charters is a small, locally owned business in Port Douglas built around one boat: a 15.6-metre air-conditioned catamaran designed for private groups. Owner and skipper Chris spent more than ten years working on the reef before setting up his own charters, aiming for relaxed days where a group can move at its own pace instead of joining a crowded tour. Every trip is private. The shortest is a five-hour morning at Low Isles, with snorkelling in the lagoon, a guided lagoon tour on the electric tender and time to walk the island. Full-day options spend eight hours exploring Low Isles and Snapper Island, a remote sand cay or the coral gardens of Opal Reef on the outer reef. At up to 25 knots, the boat gets to the reef in under an hour. Getting in the water is easy, as guests step straight off the back of the boat rather than from a pontoon. Snorkelling gear and seasonal stinger suits are supplied, and the crew lead guided snorkels. Stand-up paddle boards come free, and the floating sea pool gives swimmers and less confident snorkellers a safe spot to float. Non-snorkellers can see the coral from the electric tender. The catering is handled on board, with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea depending on the trip, plus hot drinks and soft drinks on hand. Guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol. Full payment secures the booking, and the crew offer another date, a different trip or a refund if the weather makes it unsafe to head out.

Such an amazing day with Destiny Blue, snorkelling on the reef. We were well looked after with such care and professionalism. Highly recommended for a reef tour with a small group, away from the crowds.
