by Marcus Yachting

The British Marina Association (TYHA) made an official announcement regarding the prize-giving ceremonies for the 2025 Marina of the Year Awards held during the Southampton International Boat Show last week. The most significant awards given honor marinas all over the world that depict exceptional service, provide superior facilities, and co-work with nature, thus achieving the “Gold Anchor” status, the most desired one.

At Marcus Yachting, where searching for a perfect Yacht for Sale is more than just a business—it’s about the real connection with the sea-we are very much aligned with the progress brought about by the global yachting community through excellence.

Marinas Merit the Best Practices

Jonathan Dyke, the Chairman of TYHA, in his keynote speech, thanked the audience and the sponsors by saying:

“The awards recognize the sector’s brightest ideas and the amazing people behind them, who are the main reason for the great pleasure that boating brings. Thank you very much to our headline sponsor, Haven Knox-Johnston, for your support that cannot be measured in words—and also thanks to all the boaters and marina operators who voted and gave their feedback.”

Marcus Yachting, a well-known leader in luxury boating and a source of quality Yacht for Sale listings, is enthusiastic about TYHA’s goals, such as excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction, which are the driving forces behind every great marina experience.
