Sailaway VI
Lagoon 560 Catamaran
Sailaway VI is a stunning Lagoon 560 sailing catamaran. Built in France, this vessel was purchased by the Edmondson’s in Panama. They spent time on board with their children, to prepare the vessel for the journey to Australia, before handing it over to a professional delivery crew. They put Sailaway VI into Queensland Survey, after a few modifications to meet the AMSA standards, Sailaway VI commenced daily operations to Low Isles and Sunset Sailing.
This vessel is high end luxury and a high performance sailing catamaran and we’re pleased to share the experience of sailing on such a beautiful yacht with our guests. With plenty of room on board, people can relax on the upstairs flybridge area and chat with the Skipper, or laze on the foredecks and enjoy the splash of the waves and wind. Inside is air conditioned with a large under cover outdoor saloon area.
Operated primarily by wind power, this is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly way to travel to the Great Barrier Reef.
