Shute Harbour Shines In Monaco

One of the first marinas nationally to make an appearance at an international boat show, Shute Harbour Marina Resort is heading overseas next month and will promote our region to a host of industry leaders at the Monaco Yacht Show.

From September 28 to October 1, developer Sam Wade will attend the iconic boat show and spruik the merits of the new marina, which has been almost 25 years in the making.

The $350 million project was officially launched in April this year following approval of plans and has now seen huge success on the market with unprecedented sales.

Sophia Cross, Sales for Shute Harbour Marina Resort said that there is a shortage of marina berths available in Australia and internationally and it is hoped that visiting the Monaco Yacht Show will let owners know of opportunities here in the Whitsundays.

“We are looking forward to putting Shute Harbour Marina into an international position and helping bring international tourism back to Australia,” she said.

More than just a marina, the new facility will include 58 waterfront land opportunities with private marina berths up to 45 metres, 395 mono and multi hull marina berths, Pier 61 commercial precinct with world-class facilities, 100 luxury waterfront apartments and a resort.

Pier 61 will be a boutique precinct that will include a restaurant and bar, private Marina Club lounge with end-of-trip facilities, supermarket, bottleshop, chemist, marina office, chandlery, marine electronics and charter to name a few.

This will be the first marina built in Airlie Beach for 16 years and it is expected to be a major jobs boom for the post-covid tourism industry with almost 700 jobs to be created for the Whitsunday region.
