Magnetic Island is getting 'sexy' new ferries for Christmas.  At least that is the plan of cruise operator Sunferries as it clears the decks for the arrival of two new catamarans worth $7.8 million.

Sunferries owner Terry Dodd said yesterday the new boats were scheduled to arrive in mid-December and go into service before Christmas.
