Destination Cairns

Cairns is the gateway to superyacht cruising in Far North Queensland the only place on earth nestled between two World Heritage sites, the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest. It's a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with everything a visiting vessel needs within easy reach.

At its heart, Sailfish Quay offers secure superyacht berthing just minutes' walk from the city centre, while Cairns International Airport only ten minutes away makes crew changes and guest arrivals straightforward for both domestic and international travel.

The year-round balmy climate means there's always something on: festivals, markets, live music and waterfront dining throughout the season. For guests, the Reef and Rainforest are quite literally on the doorstep.

For captains and crew, Cairns is increasingly well served on the technical side too. Sustained government investment and a growing commercial marine sector have expanded the range of marine services, trades and refit and maintenance solutions available locally and we're always happy to talk through your vessel's needs and point you to the right people.
