Since becoming the first marina in the world to attain the 5 Gold Anchor global marina accreditation in 2016, Abell Point’s commitment to providing a first-class marina experience for all boaties is reaffirmed. With exciting new marina developments scheduled for 2017, this really is the year to drop anchor at Abell Point Marina, and stay, play, explore.
The Parkway
The Abell Point Parkway is a 2.5-hectares private parkland being developed to create a leisure hub within the marina precinct for both marina guests and the wider Whitsunday community to enjoy. The parkway, when complete, will boast an area of lush parkland with stunning views of the marina precinct, including a 35m round splash park with water fountain play area, an intimate outdoor space for weddings, an open area for hosting concerts and events, seating and relaxation areas, a mobile café, and a beach area designed for soaking up the marina atmosphere.
The Ocean Club
Launched in April 2017 is the two-story floating pontoon office (Ocean Club) designed to be reminiscent of a superyacht. Ocean Club boasts twelve first class private en-suite bathrooms and a fully equipped laundry area on the first floor, while the second floor provides a fully serviced customer service lounge with check-in facilities and an exclusive waterfront sundeck area offering unrivalled marina views. Ocean Club is located on Q arm, allowing for better service and facilities access for guests berthed in our south marina. The unique sundeck hosts an exclusive customer lounge offering a range of complimentary services such as hot and cold beverages, Wifi, and daily newspapers in a unique marina setting. Customers can relax with views over the marina while socialising with friends and having a cool drink at sunset. Ocean Club provides a superb addition to the marina’s already first-class facilities.
Dining at Hemingway’s
Abell Point Marina purchased the restaurant in the south village, and after a period of refurbishment, it was launched in April as Hemingway’s. Focusing on a coastal chic, Hamptons-style décor, and serving up the best in modern Australian cuisine, Hemingway’s add that touch of class to the marina’s dining options. Overlooking the south marina village and the dedicated superyacht arm, Hemingway’s provide guests with the perfect place for lunch, dinner and cocktails at sunset. With the restaurant menu endorsed by celebrity chef Matt Golinski, this new development offer guests and visitors another reason to visit and extend their stay at Abell Point Marina.
Building on the ever-popular Blue Carpet Treatment and adding to the range of concierge services is a key focus on Abell Point Marina. If you are cruising up the coast or looking to relocate to the Whitsundays for a few months, drop anchor at Abell Point and let them take the hassle out of boating.
