Full Description & Details
Hamilton Island Marina sits in a naturally protected harbor on the resort side of Hamilton Island, within the Whitsundays group off Queensland, Australia. It is the only marina on an island with its own commercial airport, and the island operates a no-car policy, so visitors move around by rented golf buggies. The marina has 301 wet berths plus 120 dry berths, with capacity for vessels up to 45 meters.
Berths come with water, 240V/415V power, and wireless internet. A fuel dock supplies diesel and unleaded fuel. Onsite amenities include a chandlery, marina lounge, showers, laundry, waste disposal, and a restaurant.
The nearby boatyard offers repair, maintenance, and refit services, and a professional dockmaster and staff assist with berthing. The marina also houses a Koala & Wildlife Gallery where you can see koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and native birds.
How to get there
Approach Hamilton Island Marina from the west via Fitzalan Passage, then turn north through Dent Passage to reach the marina in the resort area. The harbor is naturally protected, giving sheltered berthing. The marina monitors VHF channel 68 for navigational assistance.
There are no published hazards or specific waypoints in the available sources, so rely on standard charts for the area. The island has its own commercial airport, and the marina is in the resort area, so land access is straightforward once docked.
