Step on board and join MV Monsoon’s welcoming crew at Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, Port Douglas.
Port Douglas is an internationally celebrated cosmopolitan beach village with a rich nautical history and industry. Nestled along the famous Four Mile beach, an hour north of Cairns, Port Douglas is the gateway to the northern reaches of the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef.
MV Monsoon enjoys ready access to the inner and outer ribbon reef, continental islands, sand cays and serene lagoons, as well as deep diving sites and proven fishing hotspots.
Less than half an hour steam out through the heads, and you are snorkelling with sea turtles or visiting the historic lighthouse at Low Isles, while cruising a few minutes further north will take you to Snapper Island. Head off into the infinite blue for whale spotting or to hook the catch of the day!
“The Great Barrier Reef is located within the Coral Sea. It consist of over 2900 reefs & 900 islands that stretch for 2600 kilometres down the Queensland coast. Its area of 345,000 square km gives it the honour of being the largest single structure made by living organisms...and it can be easily seen from space!”
SNORKEL
SNORKEL
Guests enjoy drift dives or snorkelling along reef walls, peeking into pristine sunlit caves, exploring giant bommies, and becoming completely immersed in the breathtaking reef life….from diverse fish species, to vast coral gardens, to green turtles, to dolphins, even minke whales and humpbacks during their migration north.
“There’s nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realise that you’ve been missing the whole point...
Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.”
FISH

Our Crew know exactly where to find fish for you, and have premium quality sport fishing rods, reels and tackle at your disposal so that you can fish like a champion!

“Monsoon is truly the best! I’ve been diving for 15+ years and have never had a better dive experience. Tom, our dive master was knowledgeable, safe and knew the reef exceptionally well. The crew was also fantastic. They kept us well fed, with delicious food, made sure our every need was attended to and were fun in the process. I cannot say enough about our positive experience! We will absolutely recommend them to friends and seek them out when we are Australia again!”
