Half Moon Bay Marina

Half Moon Bay Marina in Yorkeys Knob, Cairns, is presented on its website as the Yorkeys Knob Boating Club: a waterfront pub with dining, live music and a broad beverage selection. Its deck looks across the marina towards the hills and Double Island, with the sea providing the backdrop. It is suited to an easy catch-up as well as larger functions, meetings and important events.

The venue’s Boaties Bar & Grill is backed by a restaurant team and chef, with the site also promoting weekly specials, kids’ meals and delivery. The entertainment calendar includes live music, trivia, karaoke, music bingo, Monday night poker and games nights, giving visitors several reasons to return beyond a meal. The club also advertises dog-friendly Fridays.

For visitors travelling from nearby suburbs, a courtesy bus runs from Thursday to Sunday and services Yorkeys Knob, Machans Beach, Holloways Beach, Smithfield, Caravonica, Trinity Park, Trinity Beach and Kewarra Beach, subject to the venue’s stated booking and passenger rules. With its marina outlook, programmed entertainment and options for groups, families and casual meet-ups, it offers a social setting by the water without needing a special occasion.
