Situated between two World Heritage listed natural wonders, Cairns is a flourishing homeport that offers safety, excellent service and a sublime setting for the global superyacht fleet.

Nestled between the Daintree Wet Tropics Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns is ideally positioned to provide adventurous escapes in a sublime tropical climate. This is also the gateway to the inspiring South Pacific islands, with Papua New Guinea just a three-day sail away, so many superyachts choose Cairns as their base for exploring the wider beauty of this region of the world.

In the heart of the city is Cairns Marlin Marina, offering large berthing facilities up to 140m in length and advanced infrastructure, backed by a diligent team with a wealth of experience in the superyacht industry. The Marina is just a 10-minute drive from the international airport and a leisurely 5-minute walk along the beautiful esplanade from luxury resorts and exquisite restaurants. Attached to the Marina is the iconic Shangri-la hotel, while the Crystalbrook collection offers further opulent accommodation for guests wishing to spend time in the city.

An Endless Source of Inspiration

As a destination for thrill-seeking superyacht owners and guests, Cairns has it all and more. The region is perhaps most synonymous with its location at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Despite largely misplaced perceptions, the Reef remains a spectacular kaleidoscopic diving experience and the world’s largest coral reef ecosystem. The effects of bleaching and cyclones are a thing of the past, a natural occurrence from which the Great Barrier Reef always recovers and there is nowhere else in the world that guests can explore waters containing 1625 species of fish and over 600 strands of hard and soft coral.

The sheer volume of the Reef (344,400km2) means that even while some areas are in the process of recovery, the Great Barrier Reef remains the largest and most diverse Reef experience in the world. There is no better place to visit for genuine marine exploration, and now superyachts even have the rare opportunity to make history and join Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef in survey projects on the 40% of the Reef which remains undocumented.

Not all of the adventure is concentrated at sea, and Cairns is blessed with a second UNESCO Heritage Listed natural wonder – the Daintree Rainforest. As the world’s oldest rainforest, the Daintree provides unique opportunities for natural and indigenous experiences that would enhance any superyacht charter. Running for thousands of kilometres alongside Queensland’s tropical coastline, the Daintree adds extra adventure within close proximity to your superyacht.

There are an extraordinary range of diverse activities to engage in. Just a 10-minute tender cruise from Cairns Marlin Marina is the Mandingalbray Ancient Aboriginal Tour, reached by an exotic voyage through the mangroves (looking out for crocodiles along the way). Here, you will be given a warm and touching Aboriginal welcome before immersing yourself in their culture and learn about the history and traditional uses of the land. Deeper into the Daintree, the Kuranda Rainforest Journeys offer high-octane tours on ATVs through the rainforest ravines, and even the chance to come face to face with a wild Cassowary, the dinosaur-like bird. These are just a couple of the many enthralling activities that can bring you closer to Australia’s magnificent natural beauty. In Cairns, boredom is never an option. With plenty to do all-year-round, this is comfortable setting for crew and an inspiring destination for guests.

Understated Luxury

Unlike the jet set shores of the Côte d'Azur or the Costiera Amalfitana, Cairns offers luxury in a more laid-back and low-key culture. This is not to say that luxury in Cairns is confined, far from it, only that it is embedded in a more subtle environment that generates a relaxed atmosphere more fitting for a long-term stay.

In fact, this exact culture has sparked rave reviews from superyacht owners visiting the region, who have felt a sense of freedom in being able to walk among the town without the need for a security detail following behind them. This is one of the great strengths of Cairns in having an island-culture but the security of a developed first world country. Whether recognised by the locals or not, superyacht owners are guaranteed peace and privacy during their stay.

With Cairns Marlin Marina situated in the centre of the town, all of the luxury amenities lie within just a short walk. There are an array of opulent resorts and hotels, from the Shangri-La Hotel overlooking the Marina to the state-of-the-art Crystalbrook Collection resorts based along the Esplanade. Should you wish to venture north of Cairns to experience the tropical paradise of Port Douglas, Crystalbrook also runs the superyacht marina based there, so you can be assured of a high-quality bespoke service.

A Superyacht Service

If the Reef and Rainforest are the natural wonders of Cairns, then there is one further wonder that warrants a mention. The people.

The Superyacht Group Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful community of highly experienced people with shining individual personalities, all connected through their shared determination to deliver a high quality of service to visiting superyachts. From arranging airport pickups through Elliott’s Limousines to navigating the entry process, local superyacht agents go to extraordinary lengths to accommodate your every need. Many of the members have extensive experience working onboard superyachts, and know what is required to make Captains, crew, and guests comfortable during their stay.

World-class Superyacht Infrastructure

An integral component of Cairns’ rise as a homeport is its growing refit capabilities. A strong history in naval and commercial shipping industries has translated into specialist superyacht expertise.

BSE Maritime Solutions is an all-encompassing marine facility that is home to Bessy, the world’s largest Travelift at 1,120t. Neighbouring shipyard Norship is known for its incredible in-house capabilities that are exported throughout the South Pacific. This includes full engine testing facilities and manufacturing capabilities for reverse engineering that eliminate the need to import, parts thus cutting lead times and costs.

Cairns, is known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef as it is the closest point of departure to reach the beautiful islands and coral gardens of the reef – making it a perfect destination for a luxury yacht charter . Stretching over 2300kms along the Queensland coastline, the Great Barrier Reef is the number one attraction in Cairns and secondly is the Daintree Rainforest, both of which are World Heritage listed icons not to be missed. 

Cairns is also known as Far North Queensland and Tropical North Queensland and most visitors access Cairns is via the international and domestic airport which is located just 10 minutes north of the city limits.

Cairns is a destination that beckons to both adventurers and luxury travellers from the world over as it is home to some of the most rare and exotic land animals and marine animals. With its tropical climate the landscapes and seasons are under a constant transformation to the delight of visitors.

The Cairns Marlin Marina is where superyachts berth to re-fuel and collect charter guests to begin their voyages of discovery on this World Heritage listed reef. The marina is in the centre of Cairns and easily accessible from all the five-star hotels.

About The Charter Yacht

Ranging the East Coast of Australia from Sydney and over the top of Australia to Broome she was built purely for comfort, space, relaxation and long range cruising.

Just slowly drift past soft coral gardens, take in the massive schooling pelagic fish, and swim with the grey reef, silvertip and white tip reef sharks as they cruise on by minding their own business.

This area is well known for spotting the majestic and graceful manta rays and hammerhead sharks that come in to get a free clean and service from the suckerfish at the reef's cleaning stations.

Try your luck at catching some fresh fish for the onboard chef to prepare for your evening meal after an exciting day exploring the depths Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

It’s your last day on the Great Barrier Reef so enjoy your snorkel, dive and fish before a leisurely cruise with an ETA to Lizard Island around midday.

Swim With minke Whales Expedition Charters - June July

Tropical north Queensland is the best best to swim with Minke Whales during the months of June & July.

Stretching over 2,000 kilometres along the coast of Queensland on the east side of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the greatest reef system in the world.

The Great Barrier Reef emcompasses thousands of individual coral reefs and hundreds of continental islands, reef islands and cays, small bare sand cays, and permanent vegetated cays.

During a couple of months each year (June to July) we organise special expedition charters tp "Swim with Minke Whales ".

You and 5 other guests can now enjoy this one of a lifetime opportunity to swim with these gentle giants.

We depart from Yorkeys Knob Marina, 20 minutes north of Cairns  however to make the most of your time along the Ribbons Reef we recommend you fly to Lizard Island (extra cost) and depart from there and we will drop you off at Yorkeys Knob Marina or Cairns Marina (extra cost applies) at the end of your charter.

Another way to maximise your time on the reef is to depart at around 4:00pm on day one so we travel all night long so you are on location ready to snorkel/dive the following morning.
