First marina in the world to receive Platinum status
Porto Montenegro has become the first marina ever to be awarded the 5 Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation, the highest status for any marina across the world.
Launched last year by operators of the Gold Anchor award scheme, The Yacht Harbour Association and the Marina Industries Association, this new Platinum accreditation has been designed to recognise a small but increasing number of marinas in the world which cater for a very discerning customer base. In many cases, these house facilities to cater for superyachts and importantly, owners and their crew.
Porto Montenegro is one such marina. A full-service superyacht marina with a capacity for 461 vessels, the site includes a luxury hotel and residences, exclusive retailers, numerous food and beverage outlets and a nearby international airport. But it was Porto Montenegro’s outstanding level of customer service, with a dedicated, bespoke concierge service, which ultimately saw it achieve a 5 Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation.
On receiving the 5 Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation, Porto Montenegro’s Marina Director, Tony Browne, said: “When launching Porto Montenegro back in 2010, we had a bold vision to become the world’s leading superyacht marina. In re-writing the rulebook for product and service standards we have sought inspiration both from within and without our own industry to prove that a new-build marina in the Adriatic can match and indeed better what is on offer in the western Med.
“The 5 Gold Anchor Platinum accreditation involved a reassuringly rigorous assessment process, one that scrutinized every aspect of our operation and left no stone unturned. As such, being the first and only Platinum marina in the world today is a credit to the tireless dedication of the entire Porto Montenegro team, without whom none of this would be possible.”
