British Defender is a sloop design, 83ft in length, built of Carbon Fibre with a huge mast extending 115ft above the deck.

British Defender has turned heads since the day the yacht was named by the Duke of Edinburgh on London's Thames River. Today British Defender is still turning heads after a 3500 man hour refit during the 1st half of 2001, converting her into a purpose built Whitsunday Charter Maxi Yacht.

Even after refit to a charter yacht, British Defender is still fast, taking Line Honours & 1st Place on Corrected Time in the August 2001 Mooloolaba to Airlie Beach Ocean Race. Queenslands longest Ocean Race at 510 miles.

Interior cabin area specifically designed for Whitsundays Charters, yet built using the latest light weight materials, such as Carbon Fibre to keep ultimate performance in mind. Features include 2 dining tables, 3 bathrooms, single and double berths. All double berths have curtains for privacy.

Conditions:
If you cannot make the trip you must provide a minimum of  72 hours notice to Southern Cross Sailing otherwise full trip fare will be charged. We recommend Travel Insurance is obtained before leaving on travel to protect against unforseen late cancellations.
