Local tip
A table booking is useful for confirming seating and dietary questions before arriving at the marina berth.

Prawn Star is a seafood restaurant set at Marlin Marina on Pier Point Road in Cairns. The venue’s identity centres on fresh, local seafood served in a marina setting, giving the dining experience a clear connection to the coast and to the produce featured on the menu.

Located at E31 Berth, the restaurant offers a setting that differs from a conventional dining room. The berth location places the venue within the marina, making it suited to diners looking for a seafood meal in a waterside environment. The style is direct and produce-focused, with seafood as the defining part of the menu rather than one option among many.

Prawn Star suits seafood-focused meals, casual dining and occasions where the marina location forms part of the experience. It can appeal to visitors exploring the waterfront as well as locals looking for fresh, local seafood in a distinctive setting. The venue is also appropriate for diners who prefer to plan ahead, with table bookings available through the restaurant.

The menu and setting make seafood the central consideration when choosing Prawn Star. Diners with particular dietary requirements can check the available menu choices and raise questions with the venue before arrival. This is especially useful for anyone needing to clarify ingredients or suitable options.

Prawn Star is open every day from 11am to 9pm, supporting daytime seafood meals, early dinners and evening visits. The combination of a focused seafood offering, a marina berth and a straightforward restaurant format gives the venue a clear place within Cairns’ waterfront dining options.
