UK: The winners of The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) Marina Awards 2024 were announced on 18th September at a ceremony on the Foredeck Stage at the Southampton International Boat Show.

TYHA general manager Jon White and TYHA chairman Steve Arber welcomed representatives and guests of more than 200 Gold Anchor accredited marinas. “These awards are incredibly special because they are voted for by berth holders themselves,” White said. “They truly celebrate the cream of the crop marinas that offer unbeatable service and an extraordinary experience for berth holders and visitors alike.”
