SV Summer Jo is a locally owned and operated family business specialising in overnight charters and immersive marine adventures throughout the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef. Purpose-built for extended reef exploration, the 30-metre liveaboard vessel offers guests the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most spectacular marine environments in comfort, privacy and style.

Summer Jo offers charters designed for families, groups of friends, corporate retreats, research teams and special celebrations. With spacious air-conditioned cabins, private ensuites and gourmet catering, guests enjoy the feeling of having their own expedition yacht while exploring the islands and reef.

Private charters allow complete flexibility, enabling guests to tailor their itinerary around their interests. Whether it’s snorkelling vibrant coral reefs, diving the Great Barrier Reef, visiting Whitehaven Beach, exploring secluded anchorages, or relaxing under the stars on the open ocean, every charter is customised to create a truly personal experience.

For those wanting to go further, Summer Jo also offers guided scuba diving and onboard dive training, including Open Water and Advanced certifications. Guests can enjoy introductory dives, certified dives and unforgettable night dives, offering a rare opportunity to experience the reef after dark when marine life becomes most active.

With a highly experienced crew and extensive local knowledge, Summer Jo provides personalised adventures and access to some of the Whitsundays’ most spectacular yet lesser-visited locations.
