There are a couple of great options available for day charters from Port Douglas;

Option 1

Low Isles

The Low Isles are a spectacular island group located on the Inner Barrier Reef only 8 nautical miles offshore, usually about a 1 hour sail. The Island offers beautiful and easy snorkelling, plenty of turtles and sea life, relaxing on the beach and enjoying our water sports activities. Perfect for kids, or guests who are learning to snorkel. The island is visited by other charter operators, and you may find yourself sharing the beach on this small Island. The island also offers a safe anchorage in windy conditions.

Option 2

Outer Reef

Another option is to sail out to Tongue Reef. This is a gorgeous reef located 18 miles offshore on the Outer Barrier Reef, about a 2 hour transit. Tongue Reef offers a wider variety of coral species and more marine life. You can really see all the Reef has to offer here, and we often engage in ‘drift’ snorkels here. This location can please both experienced adventurers and the younger ones alike.
We can cater to all your preferences and have activities such as snorkelling, diving (at cost), stand up paddle boarding, fishing, spearfishing and of course sailing.

Liquid Desire departure point is right in the heart of Port Douglas from the Public Pontoon, located on Ashford Avenue. There is plenty of free parking available.
