Marina magic

Sponsored by Benetti Yachts and Audi Centre Cairns, and coinciding with a fully-booked marina, the private party for members, VIP guests and of course the superyacht crew and guests, was held on the stunning Sailfish Quay with a billion-dollar view of the fully lit superyachts in port.

Capable of accommodating vessels up to 140-metres in a dedicated superyacht berth, Cairns Marlin Marina is the largest superyacht marina in Australia.

“From the oldest tropical rainforest on earth to the Great Barrier Reef, this event allows us to showcase our region to international vessels and help to spread the word of all that our region has to offer,” Alan Ren of Audi Centre Cairns said.

Benetti Yachts, APAC Marketing Manager, Natalie Ye, arrived the day prior, direct from Cannes, and expressed she is extremely interested in learning more about the Australian marine tourism market, especially what the Great Barrier Reef region has to offer the global fleet.
