About the Business
Welcome to Big Mama Sailing Townsville & Magnetic Island! Situated on Mariners Drive in the heart of Townsville City, our establishment is not just a travel agency, but a point of interest and a true experience in itself.
Big Mama is more than just a sailing vessel; it is our home and a part of our family. We, Lisa & Stu, along with our son Fletcher and our beloved boat dog Coco, invite you to join us on board and discover the hidden gems of Magnetic Island.
Magnetic Island boasts 23 breathtaking beaches and bays, offering a paradise-like setting without the usual crowds. Whether you choose to embark on a sailing adventure or simply enjoy a two-hour journey admiring the stunning views and sunset on a Sunset Sail, Big Mama Sailing guarantees an unforgettable experience.
We are proud to offer two sailing vessels for your enjoyment. Ragamuffin 111, a yacht with a rich racing history, is renowned for its colorful past. This 18-meter ketch rigged yacht, built in Bloomfield, Far North Queensland, is perfect for those seeking a larger vessel with catering services. On the other hand, Ragamuffin 111, a German Frers sloop design, is our smaller vessel, ideal for those who prefer a BYO (bring your own) experience. This racing vessel, named after one of Australia's most successful offshore sailors, Syd Fisher, offers a more intimate and adventurous sailing experience.
Life on board Big Mama is truly unique. Imagine waking up to the ocean as your backyard and having the freedom to explore the world with just a gentle breeze. Join us and discover what life is like for our sailing family while uncovering some of Magnetic Island's best-kept secrets and most stunning beaches.
Please note that boarding from the island's bays may require a basic fitness level, while boarding from Breakwater Marina is easier. Ragamuffin 111 is not suitable for small children under 4 years old, guests with fitness limitations, or when safety is a concern.
Both vessels are available for private charters from either destination, ensuring a personalized and unforgettable experience. So, whether you're seeking a thrilling sailing adventure or a peaceful getaway surrounded by natural beauty, Big Mama Sailing is here to make your dreams come true.

Reviews
"Amazing sunset sail private charter for 12 on Big Mama to celebrate a birthday. The yacht is beautiful, well looked after, with plenty of spaces for large groups of all ages to sit. Ages in our party ranged from 8 yo to 70+. Easy beach pick up from Horseshoe Bay, with a ride in a launch boat out to the yacht. Ladder climb up the side of the yacht to board. Drinks provided on arrival. Then anchor up and off we went in Lisa and Stu's safe hands. Coco, their little puppy, was great company too. Antipasto platters were plentiful and tasty. A highlight of our trip to Maggie. Highly recommend."
"We enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise with friends. The boat is amazing and the sunset over the water is divine. Lisa and Stu are amazing hosts. Lovely nibbles and drinks. Highly recommended."
"Cannot recommend Big Mama Sailing enough! Stuart and Fletcher were the perfect hosts. The sunset was stunning with magnetic island and Townsville as the backdrop. Will make sure to book again next time we visit magnetic island. Was the highlight of our weekend!!"
"We had the most magical time on our Big Mama Sunset Sail! The boat, sunset, food, wine and staff were all amazing! We couldn’t recommend it more highly! Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be back!"
"Our family had the most incredible time on our sailing trip to Magnetic Island to watch the sunset! The boat that picked us up in Townsville was so comfortable and spacious, and the captain and crew were so friendly and knowledgeable. The wind was whipping through our hair as we set sail, but once we reached the island, the water became much calmer and we were able to let loose and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. We loved being able to kick back with some delicious drinks, dip our feet in the water, and soak up the warmth of the sun. As the sun began to set, the crew found us the perfect spot to watch the most spectacular display of colors over the horizon. It was so breathtaking and awe-inspiring, and we all felt so lucky to be able to experience this. As we sailed back towards Townsville, the night sky sparkled above us with stars, and we could see the twinkling lights of the city in the distance. It was just so magical and enchanting. Overall, we had an unforgettable experience on our sunset sailing trip to Magnetic Island. It was the perfect way to unwind and bond as a family, and we all came away with some truly amazing memories. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the area in the happiest and most memorable way possible."
