Mackay Marina
You'll find Mackay Marina right in the heart of Queensland's sugar capital, where the Pioneer River meets the Coral Sea. The marina puts you within walking distance of the Mackay CBD and its restaurants, while giving you direct access to some of Australia's best fishing grounds and the outer Great Barrier Reef. The sheltered waters here make it an ideal base for exploring the Whitsundays to the south or heading north to the pristine reefs around Cape Hillsborough. The facility offers fuel, provisions, and that relaxed tropical Queensland atmosphere you're looking for.
