Book the boatArrive the way the harbour intended
Arrive by water taxi at Sorrento Restaurant & Bar, Airlie Beach — marina-front Italian and seafood dining above Coral Sea Marina, minutes from Port of Airlie and the Whitsunday islands.
Sorrento sits above the award-winning Coral Sea Marina at Airlie Beach with uninterrupted views over the masts to the Whitsunday islands and the Coral Sea. Wood-fired Italian, fresh reef fish, Whitsunday prawns and a long sunset bar — it is the classic mainland lunch stop for guests coming across from Hamilton Island, Daydream and Hayman-side charters. Water taxis and tenders come straight into the marina or Port of Airlie next door, so you can eat on the mainland and be back on the water the same afternoon.
