Accreditation was duly given to: Birkenhead Point Marina, Sydney NSW; Coral Sea Marina Resort, Airlie Beach QLD; Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard, Gold Coast QLD; Jones Bay Marina, Sydney NSW; One 15 Marina Sentosa Cove, Singapore; Royal Motor Yacht Club Broken Bay, Sydney NSW; and Sanctuary Cove Marina, Gold Coast QLD.
In announcing the newly accredited marinas, MIA CEO Suzanne Davies said: “It was great to see such enthusiasm and support from industry for the accreditation. To have seven marinas submit their applications within days of the release shows the value industry sees in the Gold Anchor and Superyacht Ready accreditations. We have also had interest from a number of international marinas and it is great that One 15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore has been accredited.”
Superyacht Ready is available to Global Gold Anchor accredited marinas that satisfy the programme’s assessment standards. The Superyacht Ready criteria are based around the suitability of the marina’s infrastructure to accommodate superyachts, accessibility for superyachts, security measures and service availability.
