| Welcome to Passions of Paradise |
|
Passions of Paradise II is a brand new 25 meter
maxi-catamaran designed to travel to the Great Barrier
Reef in comfort, style and speed. Outfitted with the latest
cutting edge technology, Passions of Paradise II has awesome sailing
capabilities, and in the right conditions is faster than most
powered vessels.
Guests travel on a daily basis to two
fantastic destinations. The
first is on the famed Outer
Barrier Reef where Passions of Paradise II has its own
exclusive mooring, and the second being Upolu Cay -
a fragile and unique ecosystem of brilliant white sand and warm
shallow water.
A day of "Passion" includes lunch, all
snorkelling
equipment, optional introductory and certified Scuba
Diving and the thrill of sailing on a
thoroughbred machine".

Breaking Patches (our first
destination) is approximately 40 kilometers and 2 hours from Cairns.
This is where we have an exclusive marine park mooring we call
Paradise Reef and with no other boats near by, there is never a
crowd, and the coral is pristine.
Paradise Reef is ideal for both
Introductory and Certified
diving and the snorkeling is
up close and personal.
The next stop is Upolu
Cay. This is a gorgeous little speck of pure coral
sand, surrounded by reef and warm shallow water. Here
you’ll see stingrays, small reef
sharks, blue starfish and lots of
shells.

The crew will serve you a fantastic
Tropical Smorgasboard Lunch and assist you in every way to enjoy all
your in-water activities.
On the way home, with the sails up,
we go sailing. When the wind blows,
we go fast (12 to 14 knots is common in strong winds). If the wind
is light, we sail at a more relaxed
pace.
And of course – there is the "Glass Bottom" bar, (ask
the crew about the name!), fully stocked for a refreshing drink
after a hard day on the Great Barrier Reef.
