About Wavedancer III ...

We started in 1979 with one vessel, a catamaran, which took guests to the Low Isles. This was the first ever commercial trip to these idyllic coral cays, and visitors coming to the small fishing village of Port Douglas for their annual holidays were quick to embrace the concept.

Today, Quicksilver has become a highly sophisticated company with a fleet of eleven of the most advanced Australian made cruising vessels.

Quicksilver's 30 metre luxury sailing catamaran, Wavedancer, offers the excitement of big ship sailing combined

with the ultimate in comfort. Let our crew pamper you in the luxurious air-conditioned lounge with its fully licensed bar, or soak up the sun and sea air under the sails on our expansive deck.

Wavedancer remains moored in the island’s calm lagoon and guests can take a regular shuttle from the beach to the boat. A tropical buffet lunch is served on board.
