Highly recommended Mars Charters! Our skipper was Dave onboard Europa private charter around the Whitsundays for a 4 hour tour with the family. Dave went above and beyond to show us all of the island's around the Whitsundays. Our itenary was completely up to us. We chose to stop at Whitehaven beach for a picnic lunch. Would highly recommend booking with Mars Charters and booking Dave as your skipper. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the Whitsundays islands and history. The Europa Boat is very comfortable. Had the best time. Will certainly book again in the future.

We travelled on the Queens Birthday weekend. As per website I phoned and ordered the tickets. The lady on the phone was very friendly and answered all my questions. Pick-up was easy and quick. We didn't have to wait long for the barge either. People are sometimes scared of getting onto the barge because the re are about 150m of soft sand, but if you can drive on Fraser, this is no different. Do it ... cheaper and closer to Brisbane (if you come or go that way).

Whether it’s a warm sunny day or a fresh cool evening, views of Brisbane city from a powered City Cat (catamaram) can be spectacular - buildings, parks, bridges, other boats, trees and people. From upriver St Lucia (University of Queensland) to downriver Hamilton (multi-million dollar mansions) with the CBD and the parks, playgrounds and restaurants of South Bank in between, it’s a great, affordable and safe way to get around, enjoy the journey and appreciate the River City. If you have a question or are looking for some good advice about the city, ask the helpful staff on board

From hassle free loading of 2 vehicles, too and from Magnetic Island; Booking was super intuitive on the Magnetic Island Ferries web-page; also the ability to alight from the car while traveling was a great experience. My eldest boy even played his guitar to the passengers during the voyage. Would use this service again. Well Done!

Ferry service is on time and efficient. The ferry terminal was spotlessly clean, staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, quick 20 min trip across to Maggie and you’re there. Cafe was well stocked for snacks, coffee etc. ferry itself clean too.
