Sailing to Scawfell: Discovering an Unspoiled Island Treasure

Welcome back aboard Moor R & R! Episode 19 We’ve finally left Mackay behind and pointed Moor R & R toward the stunning Scawfell Island — a destination we’ve been eager to reach for a long time. The sail across the bay definitely kept us on our toes. What we expected to be a calm, easy crossing turned into a lively ride with stronger winds and bigger waves than we planned for. But that’s sailing life… unpredictable, humbling, and always rewarding in the end. As soon as Scawfell Island came into view, every bump, splash, and gust felt worth it. The island rises out of the water like its own untouched world, and we could instantly see why so many sailors speak about it with such appreciation. It’s an absolute unspoiled treasure — wild, peaceful, and beautifully secluded. Once we dropped anchor, we headed off to explore and were blown away by how many hidden creeks and passages reveal themselves at high tide. Each one felt like stepping into a quiet, secret pocket of nature. Calm waters winding beneath thick green bush, bird calls echoing in the stillness, and the kind of tranquility you can only find on an island that remains largely untouched. Scawfell has that rare ability to make you breathe a little deeper and move a little slower. It’s the kind of place that resets you without you even realising it. kicknbakfloats.com.au Discount Code - MOOR15 for a 15% discount Come on board with us as we wander its shoreline, discover its tucked-away gems, and soak up everything this gorgeous island has to offer.
