For those of you reading this we have just finished a 5 night private booking on the New Horizon which I couldn't recommend highly enough. The weather which although out of anyones control was some of the best block of weather I have ever been privileged to receive. Let alone on a boat which was booked 13months in advance. The boat was amazing, beautifully set up and had all the right things in all the right places. Which made for a very very comfortable stay for the 5 nights. The food was everything we could have ever wished for and more. Full holsome delicious meals at every corner of the day kept everyone's belly full and ready for the days activities planned. Last but not least the crew!!! Having worked myself in a team environment my whole life this team are absolutely top notch. The gel between them is reflected back onto every passenger with the best vibe watching all of them working together with no job left to be done by one poor soul and everyone doing their bit. They are an absolute asset to the business and really played the biggest part in being able to set our trip up to be everything it was. Special mention being to the skipper j-mac, there was not a single time I stood in that wheel house with an idea he couldn't make happen. From itinerary changes, to location changes, to a little bit of sly fishing along the way, to putting the sails up so the girls could get more photos, to putting the shade sail up even if just for a brief moment the list could go on. Absolute gentleman of a fella and leads that crew with respect and from the front not from behind. On behalf of everyone on board we would like to thank you guys again for what will go down in our books as a trip of a life time and the best possible way for my wife and I to bring in our 30's. Thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart!
First off, thank you for such a lovely review and taking the time to write this out. We had such a great time having you on the vessel and would love for you to come back at any time. The crew especially loved your group and ever moment with you on board. I will make sure to let them know about your kind words and amazing feedback.
You really did luck out with the perfect weather conditions and the time out there. Most trips are just 2day 2night and getting to do a private 5day 5night charter really makes sure you can see the most of the Whitsundays as possible. This was definitely an experience for everyone and we loved every bit of time out there celebrating with you.
We hope to see you again in the future!

16 of us went on new horizon for my birthday. We had the most amazing time. The crew, Jmac, dan, Jessie and tylah went above and beyond to make the trip epic and met every request we had. My personal highlight was the sunset white party we had on one of the islands beaches one evening. It was truly special. Thank you so much guys, love you lots. Ellie xxx

Best 3 days of my trip, full send! Our destinations speak for themselves which were excellent. What made the sailing experience top was the legend of a crew on board. Big thanks to John and the rest of the crew for taking the time to ensure each guest received the best possible experience while aboard. Came Solo and met lots of great people. Icing on the cake with the SUP board behind the tinder. Will for sure be recommending New Horizon through the rest of my travels. Shakas.

Wow an absolutely fantastic fun filled day aboard the SV Atlantic Clipper, the crew are extremely professional and yet very relaxed and willing to do all they can to make your time with them just the best it could ever be, and what a beautiful location to experience such a beautiful lady of the sea, the whitsundays region is just sublime.
From the moment you are greeted by the crew at the Able point marina you just know there is going to be plenty of fun no matter your age.
Also the food delivered is very plentiful with enough on offer for second and third helpings as some of our younger cruise friends were only to happy to partake of and good food it is as well, there are drinks for sale though you are also most welcome to byo should you wish.
This whitsundays day cruise is most definitely one attraction that I personally recommend putting on your list of must do things when visiting Airlie Beach Queensland and the whitsundays.
Huge 5/5 score from me.

I’ve been in Australia now for 5 months and this has blown me out of the water and knocked the socks off everything I have done so far.
We went snorkelling, to Whitehaven beach and around the islands and it was nothing less than stunning. I’d like to give a massive Thankyou to the crew as they played a huge roll in making my experience the best it possibly could be. Ayla or being a fantastic deckmate with loads of energy, JMac for getting us around safe and sound and being an all round donny. Ben for cooking up some fantastic meals and feeding me and Larissa for being an awesome instructor.
If you are thinking about doing Whitsundays I could not recommend the new horizon more. It’s worth every single cent.

I was fortunate enough to get to experience new horizon in a slightly different way and it did not disappoint. We were participating in an ‘eye on the reef’ marine debris clean up trip, which was three nights and amazing! J Mac, Tylah and Jessie were so knowledgeable when observing sections of the reef and the different corals/marine life present. We unfortunately had a fair bit of rough weather limiting where we could go but that did not dampen the experience at all. The crew made us feel so at home on the boat, and the food was amazing! We were lucky enough to see whales two of the days and a beautiful juvenile spotted eagle ray while heading to one of the islands for a stunning hike! So many sea turtles cruising around too! Absolutely loved every minute of it!

Awesome experience! The boat was very clean. The enthousiastic crew made us feel welcome and provided lots of information. The food was delicious (also for vegetarian and vegan!).
Recommend to bring you own fins if you go just snorkeling.

Good fun! Boat was spotless, meals excellent and crew were friendly and attentive.
Take warm clothes as the morning was cold and you will want to sit on top deck looking at the amazing view.
The boat was great for the sea sick like me as it was slow and steady the whole way and lots of shaded area to sit under in fresh air.
A big group of young people would especially love the activities. We are middle aged and still had enough to do, the sunset on way back into port was beautiful.
Good job fellas!

I went on the full day Atlantic Clipper tour with my mum. It was, hands down, the most incredible day i have had in years!!!
The boat is sooo comfortable, loads of room to sunbake, our own cabin with a shower and towells, an INCREDIBLE menu cooked to perfection, and of course all the incredible activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving, hill inlet lookout, whitehaven beach fun, water slides, jump platform, and paddle boarding.
Mum said it was the best day she has ever had. That's a big call! I have done about 5 different day tours in the Whitsundays and can safely say this was my favourite by far! The crew were the highlight of the day, always so attentive and friendly and happy to help in every way. You guys do incredible day tours, thanks so much!!!!!
I will be back!!!!

Just spent three days on this old girl. The crew did a great job with with everything they had to do. A big thanks to John (skipper), Dan (XO), Tom (he fed us) and Ursula (dive instructor).
One day of rain but who cares as we had Whitehaven Beach to ourselves.
Bunks were comfortable, needs some extra A/Cs in the hot weather and it was handy having the shower in the toilet.

Andy, we couldn't agree more!! Rain hail or shine, Whitehaven truly is a magical place that you just have to see to believe!
Our crew will be so happy to hear the great feedback :)
New Horizon is truly the best value for money vessel on the market that has beautiful old-world charm..
She has a little something for everyone and we're so thrilled to hear you had an incredible time sailing around the Whitsunday Islands with us!
I totally understand your feedback on the A/C.. It is extremely hard in this hot weather, fighting the humidity with the hatches to the bunks open. However; we will take measures to ensure this is better in the future!
Hope to see you again one day!
Your True Blue crew
