The Coast’s Most Expensive Marina - $ Value or Rip Off - Ep 15 – Airlie Beach, Whitsundays 2020

75 days after leaving the dock to isolate afloat away from Covid our provisions were holding out but our watermaker needed attention so we sail to Karen’s home town of Airlie Beach and take a berth in a marina for the first time since heading to sea. The Coral Sea Marina is well known as the priciest on the Queensland Coast but is it value for money or just a rip off. We give our opinion.

In Airlie Beach Karen introduces Rob to some of the adventure grounds of her high school years with walks to a favourite swimming hole and one of the Whitsunday’s most spectacular lookouts.

Make sure you watch to the end where in ‘Our Galley’ Karen provides a quick tip on how she keeps coming up with tasty treats long after fresh supplies are gone.
