There is a council car park at the South end of the Marina where you can leave your vehicle for the duration of your stay at a daily charge. Whitsundays Sailing Adventures are not affiliated with this car park.

We strongly advise all passengers to avoid excessive drinking. Impaired judgment and balance can be extremely dangerous, particularly on the water. Please consider this when deciding how much alcohol to bring. We recommend a maximum of 20 beers or 25 standard drinks.

All alcohol must be purchased at one of the bottle shops in Airlie Beach town centre prior to arriving. There are no shops down at the Coral Sea Marina, or the meeting points that provide alcohol.

Check-in is done online. A few days before your departure, you will receive a “check-in reminder” email with a “clickable” link that will guide you through the check-in process.

Once you have completed your check in, you will receive your boarding pass for the boat with instructions on how to get to marina, as well as meeting time and location.

Check in must be done at least the day before departure. If you have not received your check in email, please first check your spam folder and if it is not there either, please contact our reservations staff.

You need to be at the meeting point at Coral Sea Marina 30 minutes prior to your departure time.

Your extra luggage can be stored at ‘The Travel Shop’ located at 344 Shute Harbour Road, Airlie Beach. It is $10 per person, for the entire time you will be out exploring the Whitsundays.

In order to meet minimum safety standards, passengers must be able to exit the vessel unassisted in an emergency. For example, they must be able to use a 1.5 metre ladder unassisted, either into the tender vessel or into the saloon area depending on the chosen vessel.

Unfortunately, none of our vessels are wheelchair accessible. If you have concerns about any of the above, please ensure you speak to our Reservations staff before booking to avoid disappointment.

Your vessel will carry a mask, snorkel, and wetsuit/stinger suit for you to snorkel/dive in. Limited vessels carry fins or flippers for your feet.

Snorkelling in the Whitsundays does not require fins as this is fringing reef, and the coral is close to the surface of the water. If you wish to bring on fins of your own, please contact the reservations team for approval.

There is a great menu for you, however the tour operator does need to be informed when booking, and at check-in if you have special dietary requirements. If you have any medical conditions/food allergies please advise at booking and again at check-in.

Some dietary requirements have a surcharge that is required to be paid at check-in. This includes, but not limited to, Gluten free or Celiac, Lactose free or dairy free, vegan, etc.
