With thoughts turning to this year’s Hamilton Island Race Week, it’s a good time to start planning your North Queensland racing forays for 2025.
One important detail to consider when planning your participation in either Hamilton Island Race Week or SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week regattas – both proudly supported by Nautilus Marine Insurance – is where to berth your yacht before and after competing. d’Albora Port of Airlie Marina is an excellent choice, with 156 wet berths, catering for vessels up to 50m. Yachties can also enjoy dockmaster assistance and access to the d’Albora’s member and guest services team seven days a week, and the marina also offers waterfront dining. There is even accommodation if you want to leave the yacht in racing mode. After the racing action, why not consider exploring some of The Whitsundays’ 74 islands? Port of Airlie Marina could also be an excellent berthing option either pre-cruise or before your return home.
