“Marina World is the ‘gold standard’ of international marina and waterfront development information resources. If it didn’t exist, we who deal with the waterfronts of the world would be a lot less smart and informed in an era of change where current knowledge is vital. It is an essential information resource.”
John Corrough, president The Corrough Consulting Group, USA
[The Corrough Consulting Group of Newport Beach, California, has a wealth of experience in planning, market analysis, design and operations management consulting for marinas and waterfront resorts worldwide]

“Marina World is the first publication I turn to for up-to-date news about the latest thinking in the world of marinas and marina developments. The articles are concise, interesting, well written and well illustrated. It is always in demand when it arrives in the office and, for a trade publication, is of an unusually high calibre.”

“I really enjoy reading Marina World because it gives me a perspective on what is happening around the world and not just in the USA. I find the World News to be a very easy read and a great way to catch up quickly on marina news. Marina World is a useful publication enabling the US marina industry to learn and read about how the industry is changing and growing throughout the world and not just in their back yard.”

No matter where your operation is in the world, you can read the articles and open your mind to some of the great ideas marina operators have developed. You can modify the techniques used in your facility and raise the bar at your marina – all from reading a magazine!”

“I am very impressed with the continuous success of Marina World magazine and the considerable help the articles have given us in South America. Nowadays, the magazine is like a GPS guiding our professional curiosity around the world of marinas. Congratulations.”

[Marinas do Brasil is one of South America’s leading marina consultancy firms working tirelessly to promote nautical tourism, waterfront and marina developments in Brazil and beyond]

“It’s not easy to direct a marina over the years without becoming outdated or obsolete. It is important that we get to know other marinas, learn about new projects, participate in industry conferences, attend specialised fairs and discover the new equipment being offered on the market. Marina World tells us the whole story. It keeps us up to date on our small but complex world. It is required reading.”
Alfonso Echegaray del Pozo CMM, general manager, Port Ginesta-Barcelona, Spain
[Port Ginesta is one of Spain’s leading marinas with 1,063 moorings for vessels up to 35m long. It is located three miles to the west of the city of Barcelona]

“Marina World is something I look forward to receiving and I read each issue cover to cover. We all have colleagues in many areas of the world and your publication keeps me in touch with what is happening in our industry and with those colleagues. It is great to see how other areas of the world are dealing with same type of issues and challenges that occur along the San Francisco waterfront.”
Brad Gross CMM, manager of marina operations, Recreation & Park Dept San Francisco Yacht Harbor, USA
[On the northern waterfront of the city, San Francisco Yacht Harbor has two basins – East and West Harbor – with a total of over 600 slips]

“I find Marina World of value and a great publication. In particular, I find the articles and advertisements on the latest products and services for marinas of interest. Marina World is the only publication I have access to that provides me with such information. As well as the products and services, the articles on new developments – no matter where their location – are always interesting. Overall, no matter where we are, marina managers all face the same problems whether it be with products and equipment or new developments. Reading how others handle these problems is of great benefit to me.”
Allan Cayzer CMM, manager Marina YE, Australia
[Marina YE at Yarra’s Edge is the newest marina in Melbourne Docklands. A smart residential facility, it forms part of one of the largest marina complexes in the southern hemisphere]

“We look forward to the arrival of each copy of Marina World magazine. Marina World is extremely informative, timely, objective and provides us with an overview of the state-of-the-art of the international marina community. In addition, and perhaps of equal importance to the subject content, is the high quality of the magazine; from the cover and page stock to the crisp, clear photographs and incisive commentary. We also enjoy reading the advertisements (something we don’t do in all magazines) because the copy is sharp, clear and attractive. As a marina design engineer/consultant/author, I just wish I were able to follow you to the many locations of your coverage to continue to broaden my horizons in the ever expanding industry of worldwide marina developments. Your articles and photographs are most tempting. Keep up the excellent work – we look forward to many more years of enjoyable readership.”

[Waterfront Design Associates is a consulting engineering firm specialising in the evaluation, investigation, design, construction monitoring and operational instruction for marinas and other waterfront facilities]

“As an operator and developer of waterfront developments and marinas, I find Marina World highlights projects, ideas and people who are world class in their thinking. Marina World’s international perspective makes it a unique publication for marina industry professionals worldwide to read, and a vehicle for them to communicate with one another. The fact that the magazine team travels extensively to report on issues of interest internationally ensures that the publication is timely with its information, is well researched and offers a wide perspective on developments along the waterfronts of the world.”
