About

Overview & Vibe

The Whitsunday Sailing Club sits on Ocean Road in the heart of Airlie Beach, looking out over Pioneer Bay with a harbour full of sailboats as the backdrop.

Setting & Style

Four spaces cover the range. The Bali Hut & Lawns is the headline — an oceanfront thatched pavilion and lawn taking 30 to 300 guests; Froggies Cove & Lawns handles 30 to 150; the Sailing Room & Terrace, with its marina-view deck, seats 10 to 80; and the Theatre works for 10 to 60. Every reception hire covers five hours of private use with a private bar and service staff, and every venue carries a booking fee and a minimum spend that can be spent on food and beverages. Ceremonies are a separate two-hour hire. Catering runs from platters and canapés through multi-course and alternate-drop sit-down menus, and Diablo cocktails come on tap from a custom-built bar set up in the event space. Every wedding here requires a professional wedding planner.
