Island Deliveries

Whitsunday Escape’s charter base is located at Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach.

For a fee, you can finish your charter at Hamilton Island, and we’ll return the boat to Coral Sea Marina. However, there are limitations to consider with this option.

Benefits to starting at Airlie Beach

• Take advantage of the stay aboard option. Arrive the afternoon before your charter starts, do your shopping and have an extra night to become acquainted with the vessel.
• Get the most out of your first day with the option to book an extra ‘Training Guide’ for your first afternoon, after your initial briefing is complete. Especially valuable if wanting to brush up on your skills or if you’re the only experienced boatie on board.
• If you’ve forgotten anything, food or drinks wise, it’s easy to send a crew member back to the supermarket while the briefing is underway.

Starting your holiday on Hamilton Island

Due to logistical constraints, we are unable to begin your charter at an island resort (e.g. Hamilton Island).

Starting your charter at Coral Sea Marina makes for a much smoother start to your holiday. Being able to board your boat the night before your charter, when doing a stay-aboard (only available at Coral Sea Marina), means you can unpack and provision and be confident in your boat.

Finishing your holiday at an island resort

• There is a delivery fee associated with finishing your charter at an island resort.
• Due to weather constraints and availability of marina staff, your final night must be in Hamilton Island Marina. This berthing cost is included in the delivery fee.
• If you choose to finish your holiday at Hamilton Island, your finish time is 1 hour earlier than at Airlie Beach.
• The delivery fee does not cover the cost of fuel. The boat will be fueled on return to Airlie Beach, and we will send an invoice for payment.
