Connecting Our Community

At the forefront of community events and charity drives, Coral Sea Marina is both generous and instrumental in assisting a variety of local causes that actively help in meaningful ways.

They are major sponsors of Whitsunday Voluntary Marine Rescue, funding vessels that are called out on multiple missions per week and have saved countless lives over the years.

Coral Sea Marina Resort is also a sponsor of multiple local sports clubs and Sailability Whitsunday, which helps people living with a disability get out on the water and enjoy recreational boating.

The marina also enjoys coordinating and contributing towards fundraising projects, they organise the yearly Big Aussie BBQ and are supporters of the Shag Islet Cruising Yacht Club’s (SICYC) annual rendezvous, both of which raise much-needed funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Through the Coral Sea Academy, they also partner with boating professionals, environmental organisations and not-for-profit groups to encourage better boating practices and the preservation of the marine environment.

In addition, they are passionate about bringing community events to the region.

From the Airlie Beach Triathlon Festival to the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race and the Great Barrier Reef Festival, many events are supported by the generosity of the marina.

Committed to creating a community-focused recreation hub in which guests can feel part of the Whitsunday community and enjoy the many groups, Coral Sea Marina Resort is dedicated to ensuring there are regular activities and events on offer throughout the region.
