Among all of Marinalife’s contests and celebrations through the year, one of our most highly anticipated competitions is the Best Marina Contest. Each year, participants cast thousands of votes for top-notch marinas that provide exceptional customer service and hospitality to guests. The winners are chosen by a five-month survey of boaters in the United States and abroad. We are thrilled to announce the winners of our 12th annual Best Marina Contest. Thank you to all of the hardworking marina staff and dedicated boaters who participated. Look for the 2022 Best Marina Contest announcement in our summer issue to cast this year’s vote!
