The Cairns Marlin Marina features a distinctive series of white, scalloped fabric sails that provide shade across the docks. This facility emerged in the late nineteen eighties to accommodate the growing number of luxury charter vessels and game fishing boats drawn to the Great Barrier Reef. Captains navigated these waters for decades before the city built this permanent home, often mooring in open water. Today, the marina serves as the primary gateway for thousands of tourists heading out to the Coral Sea every morning.
