The TYHA Marina of the Year Awards have grown to be a real highlight of the marine industry calendar.  The public vote showcases the crème de la crème of marinas who stand out in delivering an outstanding experience, for both resident and visitor boat owners.

We’re excited to help facilitate the awards, enabling boaters to reward their favourite sanctuaries afloat and give a little back to the global community of marina operators who form the backbone of the boating world.  As we all know the marina community is an essential element of getting out on the water and we recognise the effort it takes operators to provide incredible services and facilities for boaters.

The seven award categories will be:

  • Coastal Marina of the Year – under 250 berths
  • Coastal Marina of the Year – over 250 berths
  • Inland Marina of the Year
  • International Marina of the Year
  • Superyacht Marina of the Year
  • Marina Employee of the Year
  • Sustainable Marina of the Year Award – New for 2023!

The Sustainable Marina of the Year’.  The award will celebrate and share the fantastic work going on every day to improve our marine environment, by individuals and marinas around the world.

Voting is now OPEN and closes 27th August 2023

**New Award Category"
Sustainable Marina Award

Supported by the Green Blue we are delighted to announce the introduction of the new Sustainable Marina Award category as part of the TYHA Marina Awards process.

In order for a marina to be put forward as a finalist for the award, the marina will need to provide information relating to the questions below for the awards panel to consider:

  1. What additional sustainable practices have you implemented since your Clean Marina Assessment and what impact has this had?
  2. How have you motivated your berth holders to be environmentally conscious and act responsibly to protect the marine environment?

We wish all the marinas the best of luck!

“We love being part of the boating community, and marinas play such an important role in the boating experience, often going above and beyond to bring people together.  We are looking forward to helping TYHA raise awareness of the great work that marinas do and help them celebrate it in our own fun-filled way.”
