Corporate Social Responsibility

We understand that our marina has a direct impact on the natural environment and the community in which we operate.

Coral Sea Marina is incredibly proud to support a number of community and environmental projects which ensure we operate our business in a sustainable manner. We also aim to consciously connect guests with the Whitsundays lifestyle, welcoming visitors to experience the Whitsundays as their home away from home.

We are committed to creating a community focused recreation hub in which guests can feel part of the Whitsunday’s community and can enjoy the many groups, activities and events on offer throughout the region.

How can guests get involved?

There are many ways in which marina guests can join in with local community and environmental projects. We recommend speaking with the Guest Services team on arrival to find out events or volunteering opportunities are available during your stay in the Whitsundays.

    Consciously connecting people to boating, the environment, and themselves...

    The Coral Sea Academy is an initiative that provides a series of events designed to educate and inspire locals, marina guests and visitors to the region about the environment, the Great Barrier Reef, better boating and sustainability.

    The Coral Sea Academy was created with a desire to provide an experiential travel encounter that educates, engages and immerses guests with meaningful themes relevant to the Whitsunday region. With a variety of events, in collaboration with leading industry professionals and partner businesses, include Sustainable Boating, Protecting the Great Barrier Reef, Cruising the Whitsundays, Blue Mind and Boating, and Women in Boating, to name just a few. A dedicated Better Boating series, through the Coral Sea Academy, was also introduced to provide free and informal maritime training opportunities, including Tender and Radio operation, Safety at Sea, and Basic Navigation.

    These community events held at the marina hope to encourage more people in the preservation of our marine environment so that all can continue to stay, play and explore the heart of the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef.
