We rarely see another commercial operator during our charters. Our itineraries are flexible and personalised to suit guest’s special interests. Marcrista offers much more than a charter; our itineraries are an adventure, taking in the abundance of this remote area and some of the most diverse unique reefs in the world.

Our cruise concentrates on providing an absolutely unique experience. Cruising North from cosmopolitan Port Douglas or Cooktown we visit shimmering sand cays, isolated tropical islands and the best reefs for snorkeling or diving before arriving at the jewel of the reef Lizard Island. With its 23 secluded beaches, scenic island walks, it offers days of snorkeling, some of the reefs best, abundant in colorful corals and marine life.

Guests normally fly back to Cairns from Lizard island with the option of a remarkable low level flight over reef and rainforest.
