About

Matador's Sailing History

Built by Eric Goetz , Matador Whitsundays was constructed with all the latest, “space age” technology in carbon fibre. This produced a light but immensely strong structure. Previously owned by entrepreneur Anton Starling Matador had competed in 52 races and 8 Regattas and two world maxi yacht races, boasting a total of 31 wins 5 seconds and 6 thirds.

This $20 million boat constructed from carbon fibre, at 85 feet in length was once considered the largest ocean racing yacht is certainly the fastest yacht in the Whitsundays of its calibre.

Totally different from Whitsunday cruises and providing the best Whitsunday adventures in the Whitsundays islands!
