MarineMax, Inc., the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, marina operator and superyacht services company, today announced that its IGY Marinas subsidiary has renewed its management and marketing agreement for St. Katharine Docks Marina in London, England.

Described as a nautical enclave in the middle of one of the world’s greatest cities, St. Katharine Docks Marina offers charm 200 years in its making. Situated approximately 40 nautical miles up the River Thames, it lies adjacent to the Tower of London and within walking distance of many of the city’s most renowned landmarks. Opened in 1828, the docks occupy three historic interlinked basins, offering 185 berths for vessels up to 40m long (130 feet), as a visitor or on long-term berth contracts. Under IGY management, SKD recently achieved the prestigious 5 Gold Anchor accreditation for a third time. The marina offers outstanding facilities and services along with a social calendar of nautical events and year-round activities.

Under the renewed agreement, IGY Marinas will continue to operate, market, and brand the iconic central London marina as an IGY destination. The estate is owned by City Developments Limited (CDL), a leading global real estate company with a portfolio spanning 168 locations across 29 countries and regions.

At St. Katharine Docks, IGY Marinas will continue to apply its industry-leading operational standards, global marketing expertise, and best-in-class customer service practices to further enhance marina performance and the guest experience.

“St. Katharine Docks Marina is one of the most distinctive and prestigious urban marinas in the world,” said Steven English, CEO of IGY Marinas. “The renewal of this agreement reflects the strength of our partnership with CDL and our shared vision to deliver exceptional service, operational excellence, and global brand visibility at a truly iconic yachting destination.”

Widely regarded as a “bucket-list” yachting destination, St. Katharine Docks Marina offers a full range of amenities including waste management, concierge services, provisioning, showers, and world-class on-site dining and shopping, set in central London against an iconic backdrop. The renewed agreement reinforces IGY Marinas’ commitment to operating and enhancing premier global marina destinations while delivering consistent value and service excellence for owners, captains, and guests worldwide.
