Big Mama Sailing Townsville & Magnetic Island - Townsville City, Queensland

We had a wonderful half day sailing out of Townsville to Magnetic Island with Big Mama Sailing. Captain Lisa is warm and friendly and expertly handles her yacht. Assistant Sophie also made the day with her great conversation and friendliness. A swim in a sheltered bay, whale and dolphin spotting plus seeing a turtle topped off a wonderful experience.

Absolutely magical experience – the perfect date!
I honestly can’t recommend this trip enough. My boyfriend and I went on the sunset sail and it was hands down the best date we’ve ever had. The booking process was super easy, and honestly, this experience is an absolute steal for the price!

The staff were so kind, laid-back, and genuinely caring – they really made the whole evening feel special. There weren’t too many people on board, so we got to sit out the front just the two of us, which made it feel super romantic and intimate. The sunset was absolutely stunning, and the whole vibe was just dreamy.

They served us a delicious cheese platter and kept our drinks topped up the entire trip. Everything felt so effortless and relaxed – the perfect way to unwind and connect.

If you’re looking for something romantic, peaceful, and memorable, this is it. Can’t wait to do it again

Just returned from a 2-hour Sunset Cruise with Big Mama Sailing and… wow. The experience was both exhilarating and deeply peaceful, like my spirit took a deep breath and smiled.

There’s something magical about being out on the water, kissed by the breeze, wrapped in golden light… I feel nourished.

Huge love to Lisa, Stu, Fletcher, Sophie, Lara, and Coco (ofc) beautiful souls who welcome you aboard not just a boat but into their passion and way of life. Their warmth is as radiant as the sunset itself.

If you’re anywhere near the opportunity, go. This isn’t just a cruise. It’s a memory in the making.
Highly recommend.

Had a great sunset cruise on Samurai. Crew are first class, friendly and professional. Someone learnt how to tame the weather as it was forcast to be windy but turned out beautifully.

It was my family’s first time in Australia and Stu did such a wonderful job! There were a few difficulties with getting our booking correct but everyone on the Big Mama staff made everything so much easier! And everyone loved the trip! I would highly recommend taking a tour with these guys!

Yesterday, We had an incredible experience with Big Mama Sailing, on the Samurai. Stu, our skipper was very welcoming and made the day really special showing us around the beautiful Magnetic Island with his incredible sailing expertise. We stopped at Radical Bay where we had a break and went snorkelling and stand up paddle boarding which was an amazing experience. We even got to see a Groper. As we made our way to the 5 beaches on the way Stu, managed to put up the spinnaker. As we were arriving at the beaches Stu with his local knowledge sailed us in between the big rock and the hillside to the five beaches where we had a picnic lunch. The boat was comfortable, the views were stunning, and everything was well-organised day and relaxing. It was the perfect mix of adventure and chill time on the water. We felt looked after and appreciated the friendly, family vibe. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting North Queensland you won’t regret it! ⛵️🌴☀️
