We are receiving reports that it is difficult to secure berthing for boats at this year’s Airlie Beach Race Week. Both Port of Airlie and Coral Sea Marinas are advising enquiries that they do not have berths available, and are putting boats on waiting lists. They won’t be releasing any berths until much closer to race week other than cancelations.

While we are working through this issue with both marinas, Whitsunday Regional Council and Tourism Whitsundays, we request that boats having difficulty confirming a booking contact Whitsunday Sailing Club using the form below, or contact Kevin Fogarty, our club berthing and mooring liaison officer for up to date information on availability.
Mobile:- 0419775282. Email:- kevinfogarty@bigpond.com

We have identified a number of options, and will advise boat owners / skippers as soon as this matter can be resolved.
