Whale season in the Tropical North is in full swing with daily humpback sightings. This mother and calf put on a show for passengers and crew aboard dive and snorkel vessel Silverswift as they playfully breached repeatedly out of the water. Watch to see mamma show how it's done! The encounter occurred near Green Island as the vessel was returning from a day at the Outer Reefs. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager, and cetacean expert, Phil Coulthard said “Whale season is in full swing and it’s always very exciting to see the humpbacks in our tropical waters. This mother and calf duo have been seen around the same location for several days. We’re seeing the humpbacks almost daily at this time of year. It’s part of their winter migration to our region from the southern oceans of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.” The sightings are recorded for the GBRMPA’s Eye on the Reef monitoring program. Humpbacks are generally seen at the Great Barrier Reef between the months of June to September with regular sightings near Green Island and at the Outer Reefs, bringing an added bonus for passengers at this time. Thanks to Silverswift marine biologist Teresa Souyet for the great footage.

The elegant OCEAN PURE 2 is a custom 41m (131' 2") sloop designed by Farr Yacht Design and built by Concorde Yachts. This proven blue water cruiser was first launched in 1992 but underwent a multi-million euro refit in 2019, allowing her to become the perfect example of a sailing yacht for her size and class. She combines all the luxurious amenities of a superyacht with the joy of sailing thanks to her seaworthiness and performance. Her exterior spaces were upgraded to feature beautiful teak decking and chic black sails. There is ample opportunity for sunbathing and relaxing across her three decks—including a unique deck located on top of the wheelhouse, perfect for watching the sunset or sunbathing with a cocktail. Her outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining, with spacious al-fresco dining and lounging areas. This thoughtful design is carried through to her interior spaces. With leather, stone, and linen throughout, accented with teak and stainless steel, the décor can be described as modern and refined. Thanks to her incredible volume—225GT—she can comfortably accommodate 11 guests across five cabins. She is, in fact, one of the few 40m sailing yachts with a five-cabin configuration. OCEAN PURE 2 has a range of up to 2,600 nautical miles at 9 knots. Exclusively for sale with C&N, click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/3dvvA8g
