Beluga | Explorer Style Motor Yacht Charter in Port Douglas

Main Information

Robust, elegant and spacious, Beluga is an explorer-style motor yacht based out of Port Douglas. Boasting stability and flexibility, Beluga comes equipped with a range of activities and toys for relaxing, fishing, diving, and adventuring upon the Great Barrier Reef. Beluga is fully-equipped and serviced by a professional crew to ensure an exceptional-value and luxurious super yacht experience. Boasting accessibility across the entire expanse of the Great Barrier Reef, Beluga is an exquisite vessel made to traverse Australia’s beautiful East Coast.

Beluga is an explorer-style motor yacht, custom-built by Moonen in 2006 and last refitted in 2017. She was built as a go-anywhere yacht with 4,000nm range, a wide beam, abundant relaxing space, and elegant design.

With modern wood styling throughout, Beluga’s interior layout sleeps up to 10 guests in 5 staterooms, including a master suite, 2 double cabins (with splitting wall which creates 2 single beds in each cabin), 2 twin cabins and 2 pullman beds.

Beluga offers an abundance of onboard space, including four impressive areas and multiple decks providing privacy, as well as numerous dining and lounging options. Her expansive sundeck features a jacuzzi fitting up to four people at once while soaking up outdoor views, whilst a secret spot is hidden up the ‘monkey island’, also known as the ‘Grand Crow’s Nest’—the ideal place for whale watching, reef spotting, or enjoying a champagne sunset.

The experienced team of 6 crew on-board is led by Australian Captain Ross. He and his crew will ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience with insightful local knowledge.

Location

When not out on tour, Beluga is moored at tropical Port Douglas, providing perfect access to the Great Barrier Reef. Beluga spends most of the time touring throughout the East Coast of Australia, from as north at Cape York to as south as the Whitsundays.

Research Charters: Beluga has been used for exploration of the Pacific Ocean, with an extensive résumé of research charters.

Guests are welcome to participate in these ventures and contribute to research and management for this exceptionally beautiful and fragile area. Animal research and conservation is an extensive part of Beluga’s repertoire. Beluga offers Minke Whale expeditions as they travel through the Reef in the winter between June and July—encounters with these curious, eight-metre gentle giants are unforgettable and come teamed with a professional diver for snorkelling and diving encounters. Beluga also has previous experience visiting villages and turtle nurseries in Papua New Guinea.
