Part of the Raes on Wategos hospitality empire, Sea Raes is a floating villa that captures the idyllic ambience and sensory experience of a sojourn in the Mediterranean. On board, the interiors were reimagined by renowned designer Tamsin Johnson using chic and inviting wicker furniture, monochrome cushions and linen, lustrous timber panelling and large picture windows so you don’t miss a moment.

For charter guests to enjoy their Whitsundays escape, Sea Raes boasts spacious decks, multiple social spaces, luxurious accommodation, an array of watertoys on board, laid-back beach house vibe and an experienced crew to cater to your every need.

True to the ethos and aesthetic of Raes on Wategos, Sea Raes places emphasis on genuine hospitality, a sense of adventure and delectable cuisine.

After carrying out the extensive refit to bring Sea Raes to the pinnacle of guest comfort, Chapman is proud to present Sea Raes and its all-inclusive charter packages, available throughout July-October, designed to showcase the region’s crystal-clear waters, secluded beaches, and breathtaking landscapes.

With itineraries tailored to highlight Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout, and the Great Barrier Reef, guests are offered the chance to explore the Whitsundays with the signature hospitality and style of Raes on Wategos at sea.

The all-inclusive charters deliver a bespoke experience that blends relaxation, adventure and world-class dining. Now open for bookings, the packages are available for 1, 3, and 5-night charters, with additional options for day charters and longer stays.

They include breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus curated by Raes’ Executive Chef Jason Saxby, with the option to dine on-board or beachside, complemented by premium beverages.

Guests also enjoy return transfers, personalised concierge service, guided hikes through Hamilton Island, South Molle Island, and Whitsunday Peak, as well as access to watersport activities including jet skiing, snorkelling, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Then in October, Sea Raes will return to Sydney in time for the spring/summer season. There’s bound to be high demand, so get in early to reserve this exquisite vessel for private and corporate events, celebrations and New Year’s Eve.
