U.S.-based marinas are encouraged to submit applications for Marina Dock Age’s annual Marina of the Year awards.

Each year, Marina Dock Age honors two marinas (one small, with fewer than 250 slips, and one large) with the Marina of the Year awards. Facilities from across the country complete detailed applications, competing in many different categories – business operations, renovations, advertising/marketing, community and industry involvement, special challenges, and more.

Marina Dock Age will present additional awards in other categories, such as Facility Improvements, Advertising and Marketing, and Environmental Responsibility. Awards will vary from year to year, depending on the qualified applicants. Marinas can win category awards each year, and former Marina of the Year winners are also eligible to win additional category awards every year. The winning marinas will be featured in Marina Dock Age magazine in 2026.

Nominations are due by October 6, 2025.
