Nominations for the 2025 ICOMIA Marinas Group Golden Cleat Marina Awards
Recognising Lifetime Dedication and Outstanding Individuals.
Nominations are now open for the 2025 ICOMIA Marinas Group Golden Cleat Marina Awards.
The awards recognise dedication to the industry and aim to honour outstanding individuals who have demonstrated a true commitment to the global marina industry.
There are two categories of award:
- Lifetime Dedication – showing exceptional leadership, advocacy and dedication to the overall betterment of the world’s marina industry.
- Sustainability & Innovation – demonstrating leading edge mindset and commitment to sustainability, innovation and the environment.
The award ceremony will be held at the World Marinas Conference in Venice, Italy on 15-17 October 2025 and we ask that all nominees be able to attend and/or are already booked to attend this conference. You can find out more about it and how to register here.
Nominations are welcomed from all members, not just those in the ICOMIA Marinas Group, and you can nominate one person for either one or both awards. Alternatively you can nominate two people, one for each award, making sure to include your second nomination in the section at the bottom of the form.
The closing date for applications is 31 July 2025 which allows time for the selection panel, made up of marina industry peers to shortlist and then select a winner for each category.
