Magic offers a diversity of itineraries across Australia:

Whitsunday Islands (July-Oct.)
The only way to really appreciate the beauty of the Whitsunday Islands, a tropical island paradise in the heart of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, is by yacht.

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is the world’s largest expanse of living corals, supporting over 400 species of fish. The cays are nesting ground for six species of turtles. While Humpback whales are seen between July and September, dolphins and dugongs are seen regularly.

Walk on the fine, silica sand of Whitehaven Beach, listed as one of the top 10 beaches of the world, and home to turtles and rays. Relax in calm peaceful anchorages, snorkeling and watching native wildlife.

Now with direct flights to Hamilton Island, the Whitsundays are closer than they have ever been before.

Hamilton Island Race Week (Aug. 15-26)
Hamilton Island Race Week is an Audi- and Moet & Chandon-sponsored week of high-profile yacht racing around the beautiful Whitsunday Islands. This is a great opportunity to sail, advertise and network.
   
Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race (Dec. 25 to approx. Jan. 1)
This is yacht racing at its best. An exhilarating 640nm race that attracts all the big players – and this is your opportunity to be a part of the action. Participate as a racing-yacht entrant, or as a charter following the race fleet in comfort. The Operator will aim to be in Hobart to join in the New Years Eve celebration.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
   
Tasmania (Jan. to April)
Experience a true natural wonder of the world.

Cruising the World Heritage-listed southwestern wilderness of Tasmania, you will visit beautiful locations such as Recherche Bay and Port Davey. Alternatively, cruise along the stunning eastern coast, into Freycinet Peninsula, Wine Glass Bay (another of the top 10 beaches in the world) and the Bay of Fires.

When in Tasmania, you are able to catch your own crayfish and abalone to eat that night. It will be a gourmet experience like no other. Immerse yourself in the 'isle of milk and honey,' enjoying the best local seafood, game, cheeses, fruits and wine – all superbly presented on board.

Designed by Philippe Briand, and originally built in France, this Dynamique 62 was re-launched in 2007 after an exquisite refit. Attention to detail is evident at every turn, with the latest electronic and navigational equipment, spectacular sail inventory, teak decks, beautifully appointed accommodation (each double cabin features its own en-suite, plasma TV and DVD player, crisp linen and luscious bath products) and gourmet delights from the galley (menus feature Australia's finest produce, as well as on board luxuries, such as an espresso machine, ice maker and BBQ).
