Townsville Yacht Club SeaLink Queensland

WE ARE SOLD OUT in record breaking time!

No sooner were entries open than entries flooded in for Australia’s favourite regatta, SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week (SMIRW), and days later, all 80 berths were filled for the Townsville Yacht Club hosted event to be held from 2-8 September, 2021.

“We knew people were itching to go sailing and travel again, but we were nevertheless amazed when numbers reached 35 on the day entries opened. Ten days later there were 70 and that quickly escalated to 80,” Event Chairman, Mike Steel said.

“We are pleased to have Peppers Blue on Blue as our exclusive accommodation partner again in 2021,” Steel commented.

Steel said SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week, the premier event on the Island, is responsible for adding over $1 million to the local economy. In this vein, TYC encourages visiting yachties and those who accompany them, to stay on and enjoy the area, which many do both pre and post event.

Without support from Tourism and Events Queensland, Townsville City Council, SeaLink Queensland and a raft of other local partners, Race Week and other events would not be possible.

Magnetic Island is well named, as both sailors and tourists are attracted to this pretty and friendly part of Far North Queensland. The Island is a pleasurable half hour SeaLink ferry ride from Townsville, with whale spotting thrown in free of charge.

Thanks to David P. for this fantastic review 😊

"We stayed at the house for five nights and had an absolute ball. It's a gorgeous view from the balcony. Have a gin and tonic while listening to the birds. Magical. We were able to bring our Kelpie and she loved to run around the spacious yard. The little gourmet deli down the road is great for charcuterie, olives, bread etc. For swims we went either to Alma Bay (no stinger suit needed - but a little busier beach), or down to Picnic Bay. Basically no one there but us. The kitchen has anything you need. From capsule coffee maker, to pre-made ice cubes. The little airfryer/oven thingy was even better than the one we have at home. If you don't fancy watching regular tv, bring some dvd's. There is a dvd player in the house. Great stay all around. Hope to be back one day!"

Thanks to Elizabeth W. for this fantastic review ~

"Fabulous location - central to everything, walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach and walking trails. We did have a car so able to explore the island further as well. House very spacious, clean, comfortable and fully self-contained - with creature comforts of home - including picnic gear, games etc. Setting very tranquil and relaxing - sitting on the large elevated back patio overlooking the rainforest of gum trees - local kingfisher kookaburra's coming close for a visit and even koala's sleeping in the trees. Will definitely be going back again!"
