There are times when only the best will do, when only a luxurious experience fits your very special occasion. Whether it be a landmark celebration, a reunion of a group of friends or another grand occasion, time on the luxury superyacht M.Y. Sea Raes could be the perfect way to celebrate one of those experiences in style.
The M.Y. Sea Raes invites you to embark on a Mediterranean-style voyage in Australian waters. With its expansive 101-foot tri-deck design, Sea Raes’ interior reflects the classic European elegance of its namesake hotel, Raes on Wategos. Raes’ floating villa, refitted by renowned designer Tamsin Johnson, is unique in Australian yacht design, offering an elegant and unforgettable experience on the open sea. With a cruising speed of 10 knots, Sea Raes has a 3,800 nautical mile range, offering both the speed and capacity to enable coastal exploration.
Sea Raes’ all-inclusive charters deliver a bespoke experience that blends relaxation, adventure, and world-class dining. With four luxurious cabins, each complete with ensuite, Sea Raes accommodates eight passengers for overnight stays and up to thirty for day charters. While on board, guests can spend time relaxing across the yacht’s three beautifully appointed teak decks and lounges, with space for passengers to chill out alone or with others, basking on the sundeck, enjoying twilight drinks and canapes at the well-stocked saloon bar, with Sonos surround sound music or a game on the 49″ QLED Samsung screen.
Offering a new collection of all-inclusive charter packages, while based in the Whitsundays from July to October 2025 Sea Raes’ itinerary will showcase breathtaking destinations in the area, including Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet Lookout and the Great Barrier Reef. Imagine pulling up in the crystal-clear waters of Blue Pearl Bay alongside Hayman Island for some snorkelling, or exploring the secluded Whitehaven Beach on stand-up paddleboards. On board, water sport equipment also includes a SeaDoo jetski, skis, wakeboards and inflatable towables, as well as an inflatable pool, trampoline and slide.
Now open for bookings, 1, 3 and 5-night charters are available with additional options for day charters and longer voyages. They include Raes on Watego style and hospitality, with menus curated by Raes Executive Chef Jason Saxby, showcasing sustainably sourced local ingredients. Each dining experience is tailored to individual preferences, whether it’s breakfast alfresco, lunch on the top deck, aperitivo at sunset, or dessert paired with a movie in the saloon. Menu highlights include oysters with a finger lime mignonette; salt-baked snapper with seaweed and lemon myrtle crust; wagyu carpaccio with anchovy, mustard greens and pickled onion; and bay lobster alla catalana with heirloom tomatoes accompanied by premium beverages including cocktails and champagne.
Even more elevated optional add-ons include wine and whisky tastings, deep-sea fishing and diving experiences, private live music performances, golf experiences, helicopter tours, a champagne picnic at Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet Lookout, and special guest residencies featuring celebrated chefs from the Northern Rivers region.
“Sea Raes is an expression of Raes’ signature hospitality, now available for charter in one of the world’s most spectacular settings,” says Marty McCaig, Raes’ General Manager. “We have curated an experience that seamlessly blends relaxation and exploration, offering everything from champagne dinners to onboard massages and wellness experiences. Our goal is to create a journey that is as breathtaking as the destination itself.”
