We strongly suggest that all bookings for transfers, particularly airport transfers, be made before the date of travel. Our vessels are restricted to carry a maximum number of guests, should this number be reached you will be asked to travel on the next available ferry.

A luggage service is available for Resort Connection guests.  Luggage will need to be checked in 15 minutes prior to departure and is limited to one large suitcase and one small piece per person.

Most Airlie Beach accommodation is within easy walking distance to Port of Airlie. If however, you need a transfer to the marina, please contact us to enquire about bus and taxi services.

Vessels arrive/depart from the jetty at the Airport just 100 metres from the airline check-in desks. Travel to and from the Airport Jetty is strictly for passengers connecting with flights only. Porters will transfer your luggage between the airport terminal and the vessels. It is your responsibility to collect your luggage at the designated drop off point at Port of Airlie.
