Bold new
moves
It’s innovation time. This final issue for 2022 highlights notable new
developments around the world that underscore the ongoing quest for better
designs, new concepts and more sustainable offerings.
Our cover shot reveals just a slice of the exciting plans for the all-new Porto
Habacoa marina in the Bahamas that aims to fill a large market gap in North
America for superyacht owners. Its first difference is that, although it can cater for
a mix of boat sizes, it has been specifically planned for total superyacht occupancy
with berth sizes, water depth, manoeuvring space and shoreside amenities all
taken into account. Its second is its award-winning, environmental and sustainability
credentials, which could set new benchmarks.
Anyone stacking their boat in the Quick Launch Dry Stack in Coeur d’Alene, is
using the first drystack facility in the US state of Idaho. Hagadone Marine Group’s
brand new club facility is an innovative move that delivers boat storage exactly where
it’s needed, creates a new boating hub, and will likely bring millions of much-needed
dollars to the local community.
Gibraltar’s Marina Bay and Ocean Village also delivers an innovative solution to
superyacht berthing and luxury waterfront living with Marina Club, a centrepiece
development on mini piles in the middle of the marina basin. Logistics were very
challenging, requiring different types of berthing arrangements and modified pontoon
designs. The result gives Gibraltar its first fully-serviced superyacht berths.
Positioning residential homes in the midst of a marina is also a new focus for
Port Vincent marina in South Australia. The Dockside project, which claims to
offer Australia’s first luxury floating homes, will be delivered using a unique onwater
construction method that is swift and efficient. The houses will be virtually
maintenance-free and self-sufficient.
Read more on all of these projects, and look out for further innovations if you
are visiting the Marina & Yard Pavilion (MYP) at Metstrade, Amsterdam (15 th -17 th
November. Come and meet the Marina World team on stand 5.703 and join us on
Wednesday 16 th November for Waterfront Drinks.
We hope to see you there!

In Fond Memory of Michael (Mike) Barry (1932-2022)
This issue of Marina World is dedicated to Mike Barry, who passed away on
4 th October.
Mike was a very familiar face in the industry, enjoying a long career on marine
trade publishing titles including Boat World, Sells Marine Market, Boating
Business, and the Cruising Association and Local Boating publications.
He was a stalwart at many, many boat shows (where he favoured the Guinness
stand as his ‘office’), and at METS, where he expertly ran the Marina World stand
for us for many years before retiring.
Thank you, Mike. You were warm and kind, you did us proud, and you will be
missed.
We give our heartfelt sympathy to his wife Gill and her family.
