"It is with enormous pride that we receive this award, not only because it recognises that we are the best marina in Portugal, but also because it is awarded by a panel of judges specialised in tourism and the general public itself, taking into account the quality of the facilities and services”, explains Isolete Correia, Administrator of Vilamoura World.

The distinction recognises the high level of customer satisfaction at Marina de Vilamoura, the quality of the nautical services available, as well as the set of support equipment, recognising the marina as an example of success.

This recognition comes after, in 2022, The Yacht Harbor Association distinguished, for the sixth time, Vilamoura as the best international marina of the year. This year, the marina became the first in Portugal to receive the 5 Gold Anchor Platinum certification, the highest distinction awarded by this former association. Only 11 marinas worldwide hold this certification.

Vilamoura Marina was a pioneer in Portugal and occupies a leading position in the recreational boating scene, continuing to be the largest marina in the country, with 825 berths. It has a fully equipped shipyard and a professional sailing training centre. It is the stage for national and international events, such as regattas, training camps for Olympic sailing teams and the Marina de Vilamoura International Boat Show.
