This spring, Marinalife polled more than 8,600 marinas and customers and allowed them to vote online in their 10th Anniversary Best Marina contest.  Here are the winners!
 
For Best Transient Marina, Nantucket Boat Basin, in Nantucket, Massachusetts took the #1 spot.  For Best Customer Service, the winner was Haven Harbour Marina, in Rock Hall, Maryland, hands down. 
 
“It’s all about hospitality – when I can make our guests happy and feel as if they can truly relax, I know they will return,” says George Bassett, Nantucket Boat Basin’s Director of Marina Operations for the last 25-years.  George has worked hard to earn a loyal following of boaters, many of whom return year after year.  Their 240-slip, full-service marina caters to some of the world’s most discerning travelers.  No trip to New England is complete without a visit to Nantucket Island.  Located 30 miles off the Massachusetts coast, this island is renowned for its cobblestone streets, antique stores, lighthouses and acres of conservation land.  If you are traveling by boat, the hospitality at Nantucket Boat Basin is second to none.

The helpful,  friendly staff at Haven Harbour Marina can't be beat

If the Chesapeake Bay is your cruising destination this summer, consider Haven Harbour Marina, located in Rock Hall in the heart of Chesapeake Bay, tucked into the protected cove of The Haven on beautiful Swan Creek. Haven Harbour Marina, voted National Marina of the Year, can now add Best Customer Service Marina to its growing list of awards. Haven Harbour is a a quiet, family-oriented, full-service, modern marina, designed with the charm and ambience of a turn-of-the-century resort.  Come here to relax with family and friends, with a friendly game of croquet or horseshoes on their well-manicured lawns, or perhaps a stroll through one of the many beautiful flower gardens.  On those hot summer days, cool off and relax by one of the pools, or catch up on your summer reading under one of their waterfront gazebos, or in a comfy Adirondack chair or glider swing.
