Machjet International and sister brand Alani Experience have launched a new luxury day experience unveiling “Nine Til Five”, connecting East Coast destinations with Whitehaven Beach in Queensland for an exclusive experience combining private jet travel, luxury yachting and premium local dining.
Designed for corporate groups, executive retreats and incentive experiences, groups will depart an airport near them, or Machjet’s base at Sunshine Coast Airport, aboard a private luxury charter flight to Hamilton Island before stepping directly onto M/Y ALANI, an 82-foot luxury Sunseeker yacht based in the Whitsundays.
From there, groups will cruise through the Whitsunday Islands to Whitehaven Beach for an exclusive sit-down dining experience showcasing fresh local produce and premium seafood, before returning via a scenic afternoon yacht cruise and private flight home – all within a single day.
Curated by Alani Experience, the onboard menu can be tailored to suit each group, featuring premium local seafood including prawns, oysters and Moreton Bay bugs alongside seasonal produce, grazing platters and chef-prepared dining experiences. Corporate groups can also personalise the experience with branded menus, styled table settings and tailored food and beverage packages designed specifically for incentive groups, executive entertaining and celebrations.
The new experience has been created to meet growing demand for small group, premium, experience-led corporate travel and executive entertaining.
Machjet International managing director Simon McDermott said the concept was designed to deliver something truly unique for the Queensland market.
“We know groups are looking for unforgettable experiences connecting some of our most popular destinations,” McDermott said.
“Business events or incentive groups can leave home in the morning, spend the day cruising through the Whitsundays aboard a luxury yacht, enjoy incredible local food and hospitality, and return that evening. It’s a completely seamless premium experience.
“What makes Nine Til Five different is the ability to tailor the entire experience for each group – from the flight experience through to the onboard dining, styling and branding opportunities. It creates a memorable experience that feels exclusive from beginning to end.”
Machjet International operates a fleet of premium private charter aircraft from bases at Sunshine Coast and Cairns airports, offering domestic and international charter services across Australia and the South Pacific.
Alani Experience specialises in tailored luxury experiences including private yacht charters, premium air charters, luxury accommodation and bespoke events throughout the Whitsundays.
