The team at Abell Point Marina at Airlie Beach put their customary vigour into celebrating their marina and the Whitsundays as part of the Clipper Carnival.

The facilities of the marina, and the ambience they provide means you are set from the moment you board your craft. Of course, there are 74 islands to go and explore whilst staying at Abell Point, so when you’re ready, cast off and sail away to coves, beaches, islands, hills, fishing, eating, entertaining and anything else you want to do. Need more motivation? Just watch these videos! It is as simple as #StayPlayExplore…
