Westhaven Marina recognised at International Marina Awards

Westhaven Marina on Auckland’s waterfront has been awarded Highly Commended at the prestigious 2025 Marina Industries Association (MIA) Marina of the Year Awards. The competition is an international programme recognising excellence in marina management, operations, and customer service.

The recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality service, safe and sustainable facilities, and a first-class experience for all berth holders.

“We were up against some stiff competition, and MIA judges said our submission was amazing – it was very close," says Gareth Wilson, Eke Panuku Marinas Manager.

Westhaven placed as runner-up to Dubai Harbour Marina, the overall winner.

The award follows a record-breaking result in Westhaven Marina’s 2025 customer satisfaction survey. Of the 512 respondents, 94% rated the marina five or higher on a seven-point scale – its highest overall score to date.

The survey provides key insights that guide continuous improvement at Westhaven Marina.

“We’re proud to receive this recognition from our industry peers – and even more proud of the feedback we’ve received from our customers," says Gareth.

"This is a real testament to the hard work and passion of the entire Westhaven team.”
