Welcome Aboard
Onboard Lady Enid you will be introduced to our crew who will show you where to stow your bags and shoes (it’s best to go barefoot on the boat). You will be given an introduction to Lady Enid’s features and a safety briefing on sailing out from Coral Sea Marina at Airlie Beach.
You are given a courtesy bottle of spring water which can be refilled through out the day as required. Lady Enid also makes sunscreen available if you do not have your own.
The Adventure Begins...
You can freely move around the vessel and take advantage of the cushioned seating. During the passage north to Langford Island through the Whitsunday Islands, Lady Enid crew will point out various points of interest and discuss the history, flora and fauna of the Whitsundays for those who are interested.
Morning tea is served
Once the sails are set and you are comfortable, Lady Enid’s crew will serve morning tea. Choose from a variety of teas, coffee or hot chocolate and a fresh selection traditional morning tea favourites from fresh scones, jam and dollop cream and chocolate brownies to delight a variety of tastebuds.
Arrive at Langford Island
Lady Enid will typically arrive at Langford Island by mid morning and moor offshore. Our crew will transfer guests to the Langford Island sand cay by dinghy. Once on the sand cay, guests will have some free time to enjoy all the island has to offer.
Explore the moderate-rough walk up along the stone step track to the Langford Island lookout. Take time for photographs and to enjoy the views along the cay towards Hook and Hayman Islands.
We then make our way back down to the beach for some time to relax or snorkel. Also known as ‘One Foot Island’, Langford Island’s long sand cay gives the illusion of walking on water as the tide rises.
The coral gardens just off the island are teeming with fish and coral, and are a known turtle feeding ground. Lucky guests may get the opportunity to snorkel with a turtle!
Lunch is served
We return from Langford Island for lunch onboard.
- Salads – Zesty brown rice and quinoa, roast pumpkin and feta salad, contemporary Asian slaw, and a green salad
- Meats – Charcuterie selection of spiced chicken breast, leg ham off the bone, cured meat, along with salmon and prawns.
- Selection of condiments and fresh bread
- Drinks are available from our licensed bar onboard.
Time for snorkelling
On completion of lunch we sail to our second island snorkeling site. Snorkeling is optional and guests not taking part in snorkeling can sit and enjoy a cool beer or glass of wine from the bar. We spend approximately 40 minutes at this snorkeling site where you can explore the diversity of corals, fish and all manner of colourful marine life that call the Whitsundays home. All snorkeling equipment is provided including wetsuits if required. We have a few favourite spots around Hook and Hayman Islands, and will choose the best one on the day.
Fruit Platter
Seasonal fruits such as watermelon, rockmelon, kiwi fruit, pineapple, grapes and strawberries are served after snorkelling.
Homeward Bound
After snorkelling we set sail for home at Airlie Beach. Antipasto with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine will be served en-route to Airlie Beach.
Antipasto
- Cold meats
- Mature cheddar, camembert
- Bowen sun-dried tomatoes, char-grilled aubergine and mixed olives
- Complimentary glass of sparkling
Lady Enid returns home to Coral Sea Marina at approximately 4.00pm. Our courtesy bus then returns you to your Airlie Beach accommodation.

What Our Guests Say
It’s the attention to detail which makes this trip stand out. Service was excellent as was the presentation of the boat, food and drinks. From the morning scones and fruit platter before lunch or seafood buffet followed by afternoon chocolate brownie and antipasto served on the sail back home everything was high quality and beautifully presented. Great views from the island and a cooling swim before lunch and the reef snorkeling after made the day relaxing but varied. Highly recommend this experience!
