"Iceberg" is a 52 foot sports yacht which sails fast and easily, yet retaining comfort for the guest and is proud to be one of the few overnight sailing vessels in the Whitsundays that carries a maximum of only 12 guests. This contributes to a more intimate environment aboard while visiting magnificent locations.
Iceberg was orginally a custom built for a Sydney businessman with all the comforts that you would expect from a Habourside mansion , fast sailing, with plenty of shade, spacious decks and magnificently appointed cabins. Iceberg is truely an experience to be remembered and treasured.

Out for a night and two full days, Oil on my skin like a chocolate glaze, Got the sun on my face and the breeze in my hair, Surrounded by blue, theres a dolphin over there.
I just pulled up the sails with my own two hands, This boats got a lot of ropes that I dont understand, But it doesnt really matter cause the crews in control, And it seems that my comfort is their primary goal.
Now were pulling up close to a beautiful spot, Must be time for a swim cause its getting kinda hot, So I jump in the water and I get a surprise, From the colours and the patterns that are right before my eyes.
Sun blazing hot on a pure white beach, Theres a cool soft breeze and a beer within reach, My footprints alone mark this beautiful place, Im a long way removed from the city rat-race.
Now Im back on the boat and were off again, And Im sitting back chatting with a new found friend, Sails in the air and were moving fast, I never knew how long two days could last.
