For over a decade, Marinalife hosted the Best Marina Contest where nationwide boaters vote annually to honor top transient destinations that exemplify world-class service. As we approach our 25th anniversary in 2025, we decided to revamp and relaunch with our 2024 Readers' Choice Awards, expanding to exciting new categories:
Best Marinas: Overall Experience, Dry Storage Marina, Boatyard/Service Marina, Overall Amenities, Hidden Gem
Best Experiences: Dockside Bar, Friendliest Marina Staff Member, Entertainment, Pet Friendly
Favorite Destinations: Your favorite coastal town, charming lake retreat, idyllic island oasis
As we celebrate this milestone year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our readers, partners, and the entire boating community. Your passion and feedback continue to drive us forward, and we look forward to honoring the marinas, destinations and services that make your journeys memorable.
Thank you to everyone who voted and participated in the 2024 Readers' Choice Awards contest. Winners will be announced in January and featured in the magazine's 25th Anniversary special edition. Stay tuned for exciting celebrations throughout the year!
