Awful and terrible.

It was pouring rain with 28 knot winds, not a day to go out safely but this company doesn’t worry about safety it’s all about money. I asked if we could reschedule a day earlier as this was not the ideal situation for a 10hour tour. I was told too bad too sad really and couldn’t even just change my dates to get a bright day where we all felt safe on the boat.
They were rude and awful through the whole process. I only booked it two days prior so I could cancel because I have to do it 48hours prior. I obviously couldn’t as I booked it within 48hours of travel.
I would never go on this boat or book this trip ever again. I would absolutely not recommend this company to anyone.
It was one way to throw away $850 in 5 minutes.
Great Day

Jan 4th 2022.. Unfortunately our (dream trip that we came up to Airlie beach for) Whitehaven catamaran trip on the Camira was cancelled. (Staffing issues)
Our family (group booking of 10) We were notified whilst waiting in a very long queue of disgruntled people (outside the sail Whitsunday office at around 7:00am by phone. I spoke with Ashley.
Just an hour prior to sail.. hardly any staff around to ask questions… coffee shop closed due to no staffing. Again, very crowded and disgruntled customers waiting… Due to our “large booking” we were offered to hop on board the cruise to the reef which we accepted “on the spot” but now looking back I feel I was left with no other options…. I was not offered a $refund by Ashley (I spent over $2000) as an alternative if we didn’t choose to go to the reef. Unfortunately we were very disappointed as the boat was overcrowded and not staffed adequately. We definitely felt we were an “add on” This was evident as our family were unable to snorkel together as they had run out of equipment. There were many other patrons too that were very disappointed and challenging staff… Wait period was more than 30 minutes and then they shut down the snorkeling due to too many rescues from strong currents and not enough patrol staff. Wait period was more than an hour. People were sitting on the floor of the boat as they were not allowed to go inside the boat with their stinger suit on even though they hadn’t been in water yet… This was further complicated by a staff member who sustained a severe cut to his foot from the boat propeller whist in the water. He was heard screaming, carried back to the boat by 4 other staff members which was very distressing (a lot of blood)… A lot of people on the boat were traumatised in this event including my daughter who was meant to be returning the next day on a reef overnight stay with her partner. Our family were seated in a u shape lounge near the captains wheel. Our window view could all see this poor young staff member (Cory) lying there on the floor in severe pain the entire time we were there. Staff obviously preoccupied with him therefore again, more understaffed on board for patrons… We wondered why he was not helicoptered back to mainland, yet we watched a family including x2 children under 5 yrs old with no life jackets being escorted to the helicopters.
Morning tea ran out of food on one deck so we moved to another deck yet again to wait in another long line.
My daughter who is no longer feeling safe to travel to the reef again has foregone her overnight stay on the reef…. We also witnessed no signs of sanitisation during linen change if the bedding or tables/chairs for the next lot of patrons moving in for the overnight stay on the reef.
For these number of reasons, our family were very disappointed in our experience and the money spent was not worthy. My daughter Amy Scott has foregone her overnight stay 5thJan 2022(the day I write this)as she no longer feels safe.. she has lost alot of money.
We are very upset as she is not being offered a refund and we feel no one should go somewhere if they are not made to feel safe.
Great day out.
