Picton Marina Achieves ‘Superyacht Ready’ Accreditation

Picton Marina Now Superyacht Ready

We are delighted to announce that Picton Marina has officially achieved “Superyacht Ready” accreditation and “Gold Anchor” status from the Marina Industry Association (MIA Australia).

These accolades place Picton Marina among the leading destinations for superyachts in the Southern Hemisphere, and show our marina team’s dedication to delivering exceptional facilities, secure infrastructure, and outstanding service to all who visit.

This achievement follows our International Clean Marina certification for environmental excellence, received last July, and underscores our commitment to providing world-class experiences while looking after our unique Marlborough Sounds environment.

The ‘Superyacht Ready’ accreditation is designed to give superyacht owners and captains the confidence that a marina can cater to their specific needs. At Picton Marina, this includes the capacity to accommodate vessels up to 50 metres in length and 500GRT, with additional facilities available through Port Marlborough for larger vessels. The marina features state-of-the-art security measures, including round-the-clock monitored CCTV and gated pier access, as well as premium amenities to ensure a seamless experience. As our marina berth holders will be aware, the marinas’ location within the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds also offers unparalleled access to some of New Zealand’s finest attractions, such as the Queen Charlotte Track and world-renowned vineyards, and cellar door experiences.

Over summer so far, our Picton Marina team has already hosted several prestigious vessels, and this new accreditation strengthens its appeal as a must-visit destination for superyachts in the region. To enhance the experience for visiting vessels, the marina has developed a comprehensive guide for superyacht clientele. This resource ensures that superyacht guests, captains, and crews can make the most of their stay, whether by exploring the scenic bushland, indulging in Marlborough’s famous wines, or accessing necessary marine and general services while in the area.

Situated in the heart of the Marlborough Sounds, Picton Marina combines modern convenience with the charm of one of New Zealand’s most picturesque regions. Every effort has been made to ensure that superyacht visitors enjoy a secure and seamless stay, whether for a short visit or an extended time exploring Marlborough.
