TYHA, a group association within the British Marine Federation (BMF), made significant changes to the way the competition is run to make it easier for boat owners and berth holders to vote. Gold Anchor accredited marinas were given automatic entry into the competition and over 3000 people took part by voting.

Now in the second year, the Awards have developed significantly with votes being cast for an impressive 84 marinas. As part of the voting process marina customers were asked to comment on why they felt the marina they were voting on was the best with excellent customer service topping the polling.
