Feel the adrenaline, the freedom, and the pure Whitsundays magic — welcome to Matador.

Step aboard this legendary racing yacht and slice through turquoise waters like you’re part of the crew. Stretch out on the massive deck and soak in the sun, or jump in and help hoist the sails for an exhilarating taste of real maxi racing power.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef’s world-class fringing reefs, where colourful coral gardens, shimmering tropical fish, and sea turtles create an underwater world you’ll never forget. Then it’s onto the icons — Whitehaven Beach’s pure silica sands and the jaw-dropping views from Hill Inlet Lookout, where the swirling blues look almost unreal.
Back on board, enjoy freshly prepared meals made with quality local ingredients — crisp salads, fresh fruit, hearty pastas — all served with that relaxed Matador vibe. As the sun drops, grab a drink, settle in on deck, and watch the sky explode into orange, pink, and gold before the stars take over.

Wake up to the gentle sway of the ocean, the glow of a new day, and another chance to dive in for a morning snorkel. Then glide back toward Airlie Beach in the afternoon, sun-kissed, salty, and stocked with memories you’ll talk about forever.

Note: Return is estimated for the afternoon, but may vary depending on weather, tides, and tendering logistics.
