Mackay Marina Village and Shipyard

Mackay's magnificent world-class Marina Village is situated half way between Brisbane and Cairns at the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. The magical islands of the Southern Whitsundays, such as Brampton, Keswick, St Bees and Scawfell are just off the coast and visible from the sea wall.

Mackay Marina Village has a tropical ambience, with leafy palms lining the waterfront esplanade and a view beyond to luxury yachts, sailing boats, blue skies and tropical islands. Frequent visitors to the waters around the Marina include dolphins and schools of jumping fish. Visitors during June to September may be fortunate enough to spot migrating whales.

The thriving commercial precinct boasts an impressive array of shops, bars and restaurants as well as the luxury four and a half star Clarion Hotel Mackay Marina. The hotel contains 79 self-contained suites - each with waterfront view - Latitude 21 Bar and Restaurant, function facilities, walk-in wine cellar, 24-hour reception and tour desk.
