They’ve done it again!

Poole Quay Boat Haven, operated by Poole Harbour Commissioners, has been named as Towergate UK Coastal Marina of the Year (under 250 berths) by The Yacht Harbour Association for the second year in a row.

And it’s now the fourth time Poole Quay Boat Haven has received the internationally recognised accolade.

Kerrie Gray, Marina Manager, said: “I am extremely proud that Poole Quay Boat Haven has won the award for Coastal Marina of the Year (under 250) for the second year running.

“This year’s accolade is particularly poignant as it has been a difficult year for all.

“Receiving this award is testament to the hard work and dedication that the entire marina team has shown.”

Now in their eighth year, the Towergate Marina of the Year awards recognise the very best of over 160 Gold Anchor accredited marinas from round the world.

The winning marinas are voted for by their berth holders in the UK Coastal, UK Inland, International and Superyacht categories.

This year’s awards were announced at a digital ceremony, created and hosted by sponsors Towergate Insurance.

The event was watched by more than 490 viewers.

Jon White, General Manager of The Yacht Harbour Association, said: “Kerrie Gray and the team at Poole Quay Boat Haven clearly deliver a very high-quality experience for their customers.

“This is proven by the fact that this is the second year running that they have won this category.”

Offering up to 125 berths for everything from jet skis to 75m superyachts, Poole Quay Boat Haven is a host to various nautical events as well as being home to 2020 Vendée Globe entrant Pip Hare and the award-winning Poole Harbour Boat Show.
