A Superyacht Marina in the Whitsundays
Coral Sea Marina Resort, in the heart of the Whitsundays, has become one of Australia’s leading superyacht marinas. After a multi-million-dollar facelift, owner Paul Darrouzet brought his vision to life. As a result, it is now a renowned thriving superyacht hub on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef.
Boasting impeccable marina facilities and an outstanding team of professionals, this superyacht marina has emerged as the perfect Whitsundays port. Superyachts are invited to stay, play and explore the natural wonders of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef.
The marina also sets global benchmarks. It became the first in the world to earn the prestigious 5 Gold Anchor accreditation for exceptional facilities and services. Building on this success, the marina now holds Platinum level accreditation – the first marina in Queensland to do so. This accreditation recognises the team’s ongoing commitment to premium service and outstanding guest experiences.
Location of Coral Sea Marina Resort

Coral Sea Marina Resort sits in the vibrant township of Airlie Beach. It is only a short journey from the Whitsunday Coast Airport (by car or helicopter). Alternatively, there is nearby Hamilton Island Airport (by ferry or helicopter). The marina boasts 520 wet berths in an idyllic, prime location and can accommodate megayachts up to 80m in length.
From the marina village, a scenic 1km waterfront boardwalk leads to the heart of Airlie Beach. Additionally, a 5-minute drive in one of our courtesy cars provides access to a range of local provisioning, leisure activities and other key services across the Whitsundays.
Because 80% of the region’s marine tourism operates from Coral Sea Marina, there is an extensive range of on-water adventures to enjoy. Furthermore, our Guest Services team can book activities on your behalf, ensuring a seamless experience.
