Called Nine Til Five, the experience sees Machjet collect participants from their local airport and fly them on a private charter to Hamilton Island where the group boards the 82-foot M/Y ALANI yacht for a cruise to Whitehaven Beach before dropping anchor for a seated lunch onboard.
Groups will also have access to Whitehaven Beach itself and will cruise through the Whitsunday islands as part of the experience.
Machjet will then fly attendees home, completing the whole experience between 9am and 5pm.
“We know groups are looking for unforgettable experiences connecting some of our most popular destinations,” said Machjet International managing director Simon McDermott.
“Business events or incentive groups can leave home in the morning, spend the day cruising through the Whitsundays aboard a luxury yacht, enjoy incredible local food and hospitality, and return that evening. It’s a completely seamless premium experience.
“What makes Nine Til Five different is the ability to tailor the entire experience for each group – from the flight experience through to the onboard dining, styling and branding opportunities. It creates a memorable experience that feels exclusive from beginning to end.”
The new small-group offering comes not long after Machjet opened its new aircraft hangar on the Sunshine Coast, which also doubles as a large-scale event space, spanning 2,200m2.
