This award is based on a strong vision that Smart Marinas are like micro-cities which can lead the way towards urban development that is more respectful of the environment, being aligned and in harmony with the Ocean so close by. Destined to become lively places where people want to be, future marinas are not only about yachting. They are a gateway to connect to all the associated facilities and services, and are duty-bound to be smart and sustainable – from initial conception.This award will reward the Marina which won over the public present at the Smart Marina event but also via the websites of Monaco Marina Management, the Yacht Club de Monaco and Blumorpho with its architecture, its environmental approach and the customer experience it offers. Submissions from all around the world are welcome.
