Spank Me is a legendary, massive 82-foot ex-racing yacht with a crazy history—she actually won the famous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race back in 1989! Today, she’s been converted into one of the most fun, high-energy, and social sailing trips in the Whitsundays. It’s perfect for 18-35s and solo backpackers who want to experience authentic, fast ocean sailing, meet an awesome crew, and make friends from all over the world.

Because Spank Me is a real racing yacht designed to slice through ocean swells fast, the layout below deck is cozy and open-plan. Accommodation consists of shared single and double bunk beds in a social, open-plan cabin room. It’s a classic, fun hostel-on-the-water setup! Fresh bed linen is fully provided for you on board.

Yes, Spank Me is completely BYO! You are welcome to bring drinks on board, but strict marina rules state absolutely NO glass bottles and NO red wine (it stains the white decks!). Stick to cans of beer/cider, premixes, or boxed wine (goon). There’s plenty of space to chill your drinks, but you can also bring along your own soft snacks, juices, or sodas if you think you’ll get extra hungry after swimming!

Yes! Getting you to the world-famous silica sands of Whitehaven Beach and walking up to the Hill Inlet lookout to see those swirling blue sands is our number one priority. We spend over 2 hours on the beach so you have plenty of time for photos and swimming. Just keep in mind that all ocean sailing is 100% dependent on weather and tidal safety conditions, but our captain always aims to get you there!

Absolutely! The fun doesn’t stop when the boat docks back at Coral Sea Marina. Spank Me is famous for its legendary Airlie Beach afterparty. The crew organizes an exclusive meetup at one of the top backpacker bars in town on the night you return, complete with VIP entry, huge discounts on food, and cheap drinks for everyone on your boat. It’s the perfect way to wrap up an epic 3 days with your new sailing mates!
