Nestled in the wondrous Whitsundays, Coral Sea Marina is the heart of adventure and relaxation for travellers seeking an extraordinary winter escape. Renowned as the region's premier tourism hub, this marina is a treasure trove of experiences, promising endless adventures and unforgettable memories. As the temperatures drop elsewhere, Coral Sea Marina emerges as a vibrant tropical haven, teeming with life and excitement.

In 2023, Coral Sea Marina celebrated a decade under the visionary leadership of Paul Darrouzet, marking a milestone of transformation and innovation. Awards such as "Best Community Support" and recognition as a finalist for "Superyacht Industry Service Provider of the Year" elevated the marina's commitment to excellence. These accolades are a testament to Coral Sea Marina's unwavering dedication to providing unparalleled experiences and fostering connections, both locally and globally.

One of the marina's most captivating initiatives is the Superyacht Donation Hub, which returned in 2024 following a successful pilot scheme. This program embodies Coral Sea Marina's ethos of giving back, facilitating the collection and distribution of essential supplies to remote island communities in the South Pacific. From sporting goods to medical supplies, these donations provide much-needed support and solidarity, bridging the gap between communities and fostering a sense of global responsibility.

Coral Sea Marina's commitment to education and engagement is exemplified by the Coral Sea Academy, an innovative platform designed to connect people with the wonders of the Whitsundays. Through digital expansion, the Academy offers enriching experiences, from virtual tours to educational resources, ensuring that visitors can immerse themselves in the region's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

But perhaps the true magic of Coral Sea Marina lies in its atmosphere—a vibrant tapestry of sights, sounds, and sensations that captivates the senses and ignites the spirit. From the moment you set foot in the marina, you're enveloped in a sense of wonder and possibility. The waterfront pathways, shaded meeting areas, and lush marina gardens beckon you to pause and soak in the beauty of your surroundings.

From world-class berthing facilities to attentive guest services, every aspect of the marina is designed to exceed expectations and provide a home away from home.

For visitors, Coral Sea Marina is a gateway to adventure and discovery. Whether you're embarking on a day tour to explore the Whitsunday Islands or chartering your own vessel for a week-long odyssey, the possibilities are endless. Thrill-seekers can indulge in jet ski rides or scenic helicopter flights, while those seeking relaxation can simply watch the boats go by with a drink in hand.

And let's not forget the culinary delights that await at Coral Sea Marina's array of cafes, restaurants, and bistros.
