Sailaway IV is back
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Good morning, Great news! Sailaway IV is back on scheduled operations to our idyllic Low Isles from Thursday 14th February 08. Sailaway IV has completed her annual maintenance after a very successful first season and sailing around the world from France, making Port Douglas her permanent home last June. As the only state-of-the-art luxury sailing catamaran in Port, Sailaway offers prime quiet time at the unspoilt and strictly protected Low Isles, operating 1 of only 4 permits with daily island access to the icon of the Great Barrier Reef. Low Isles is the first place for coral research in the world and the closest coral cay to mainland Australia, only an hours sail each way with over 5 hours moored in the sheltered lagoon whilst enjoying turtle sightings every day, all year round! We also look forward to seeing onboard for our Sunset Sailings every Wednesday... Kind regards Steve& Katrina Edmondson Owner Operators Sailaway IV - Lagoon 500
