Superyacht Ready is an accreditation available to marinas that have the minimum capacity and capabilities required to provide safe and adequate berthing for Superyachts. Superyacht Ready is available to Global Gold Anchor accredited marinas that satisfy the program’s assessment standards.
The Superyacht Ready criteria is based around the suitability of the marina’s infrastructure to accommodate superyachts, accessibility for superyachts, security measures and service availability. The program is designed to help skippers and owners identify suitable marinas for their vessel. For those marinas not part of the Gold Anchor program, the easiest way to join the program is via the Gold Anchor self-assessed accreditation, where marinas self-assess against the core program criteria.
To be eligible to accredit as a Superyacht Ready Marina, marinas must:
- Be a TYHA Member
- Participate in the Gold Anchor accreditation
- Assess compliance with the required criteria
- Return a completed declaration of compliance assessment
- Pay the 3-year participation fee of £625 excluding VAT.
The assessment declaration will be reviewed by TYHA and upon approval, the marina will be authorised to use the Superyacht Ready branding and marketing. The 3-year participation is £625 plus VAT.
Limitations on Reliability of the Accreditation
The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) Superyacht Ready accreditation is designed as a tool to identify marinas which have the minimum capacity, capabilities and infrastructure to provide safe and adequate berthing for superyachts. The Superyacht Ready accreditation does not consider the extent, quality or availability of the general facilities and amenities of a marina. TYHA’s Gold Anchor accreditation may provide further guidance as to a marina’s service, presentation, and amenities. TYHA recommends that those responsible for the berthing of a vessel make their own enquiries directly with the relevant marina regarding berthing suitability of the marina for the vessel in question as well as the level of service, presentation, and amenities provided at the marina.
