Wings Of The Dawn

Wings of the Dawn was recently constructed in New Zealand to participate in the America's Cup celebrations. Her present owners have sailed her to the Whitsundays to cruise the islands. She is a 52ft luxury catamaran with a very spacious design both on deck and below. Departing Tuesdays and Fridays, this is a great trip for those who want a comfortable and relaxing 3-day/2-night cruise. Wings of the Dawn is also a good choice for those who don’t like the idea of leaning over on a monohull yacht. Being a catamaran, it gives the boat a more balanced feeling.
