The Coral Sea Marina has pledged another three years as platinum sponsor of the Volunteer Marine Rescue (VMR) Whitsundays.
Joscelyn O’Keefe, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Coral Sea Marina explains of the sponsorship agreement, “The work done by this incredible group of volunteers is vital. Their dedicated service ensures that the boating community can explore the Whitsunday waterways safely and with peace of mind.”
“As the largest marina in the region, we are committed to supporting safe boating practices and encouraging both recreational and commercial boat owners to be prepared for the unexpected when they are at sea.”
Over the last few years, VMR Whitsundays has seen an increase of marine emergencies and calls for assistance, with a 116 per cent increase in boat malfunctions from 2022.
The VMR is completely volunteer run, operating seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
