The best, brightest and proudest of the marina industry were recognised at the 2025 Nautilus Marine Insurance Marina of the Year Awards, held at Sydney’s picturesque Middle Harbour Skiff Club.
Opening the evening, Marina Industries Association (MIA) President and Master of Ceremonies, Andrew Chapman CMM remarked, “This is another incredibly successful celebration of our industry. The Awards attracted record entries across several categories, with over 110 guests and finalists gathering from across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the UAE and Singapore.”
Andrew Mulholland, Marketing Director / Commercial Partnerships Manager of event partner Nautilus Marine Insurance (NMI), echoed the sentiment, adding, “These Awards honour all entrants and finalists who consistently raise the bar and set new standards in our industry. While outstanding facilities are important, it’s the people who deliver the excellence we celebrate tonight.” Drawing a parallel with the Nautilus Marine Insurance values, Mullholland went on to say, “It’s about putting your customers at the core of everything you do and building trust through integrity and reliability.”
While the Awards have traditionally focused on facilities, 2025 saw the introduction of two new categories designed to spotlight and promote the achievements of individual contributions and rising talent. The inaugural Emerging Talent Award recognised future leaders under 35, with Jacob Morris, Director at Marine Structures, taking home the honour from a strong field. The new Industry Woman of the Year Award also made a strong debut, receiving a wave of impressive nominations. The winner, Stephanie Trounce, WHS Property and Compliance Manager at Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard, was acknowledged for her deep expertise in safety systems and her leadership in maintaining high standards of property and compliance.
The flagship Marina of the Year categories were more competitive than ever. The recently redeveloped Jones Bay Superyacht Marina in Pyrmont, Sydney, emerged victorious as the Marina of the Year under 140 boats. It was a standout night for Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM), which claimed the Marina of the Year Award (over 140 boats), Boatyard of the Year (over 20 boats) and Dry Stack Facility Award. Celebrating 25 years of trailblazing excellence, GCCM has transformed former farming paddocks into a world-class marina and shipyard, playing a pivotal role in the development of the Coomera marine precinct.
Innovation was also in the spotlight this year, with Bellingham Marine taking home the Industry Innovation of the Year Award for its reimagined Unifloat system. The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron (RQYS) once again claimed the coveted Club of the Year Award.
The competition in the Boatyard of the Year category for yards servicing under 20 boats was also strong, with White Bay 6 Marine Park taking the win. Industry veteran Lorraine Yates CMP reflected on the honour, “We’re grateful for industry recognition through awards like these. We have a beautiful facility in a stunning location, and I’m privileged that the owners trust us to manage it every day.”

How would you sum up your experience of working with NM Insurance and the relationships you have built with our team? I enjoy picking up the phone and having a chat with Louie [Ralevski, NM Insurance North East Broker Distribution Manager] about his most recent food adventures or knowing that if I request a COC from Kim [Hendry, NM Insurance Underwriter Assistant] that I’ll have it the same day. Having that trust, enjoyment and confidence in an Insurer is so important as it reflects in our confidence, in how we can present to, and trust that we have sought the best policies for our clients’ needs! No matter how curly a risk may be, the NM Insurance team take the time to review the risk on its merits rather than simply placing it in the ‘too hard basket’. They look for ways to accommodate it and even if the answer is no, will always provide us with feedback around things our clients may be able to do to improve the risks.

Engaging with an insurance broker
Nautilus Marine Insurance only transacts insurance business through insurance brokers. Insurance brokers operate independently of insurers, they work for you as your adviser. They should be impartial and should act in your best interests, at all times.
It is important to engage with an insurance broker who understands the marine industry. When speaking to your broker about information required by Insurers, it is essential to provide as much information as possible to help secure the best possible terms and avoid the Insurer making assumptions.
Highlight membership with the Marina Industries Association (MIA) and any accreditations that you have received such as Gold Anchor and Clean Marina. These programs demonstrate a good level of operational competence and risk management.
It is advantageous that your insurance solutions provider has an expert local claims team to support you should an incident occur.
Common risk exposures and claims
Damage to boats in your care: You have a duty of care, and a legal liability, to ensure that all customers and other third-party property is looked after while at your premises.
Fuelling activities: Pollution to waterways and other property damage can result from fuelling activities. Risk management practices in the Clean Marina Program can help you manage this risk.
Water damage to vessels: reminder notices to boat owners are very useful.
Incorrect boat storage on stands: poorly maintained stands, or stands with inadequate weight capacity, present a significant risk. Bad weather conditions also need to be considered as a factor for hard-stand facilities.
Spray painting: overspray from workshops could cause damage to surrounding property.
Contractor injuries or damage caused by contractors: injury claims can be very costly and take many years to be settled.
Customer accidents: slip and fall claims from customers are common, especially when getting on and off vessels. After hours risk management: procedures must be in place for out of hours risk management, especially in terms of weather events.
Weather damage to facilities: storm damage to floating assets such as wharves, piles and jetties are common risks.
Fire risks: we have seen claims from fires that start on a customer’s vessel and spread to the marina and other vessels at the marina. The marina operator can be held liable for damage to other customers vessels at the marina.
We hope you have found these insights useful. As you can see, most of these exposures and risk scenarios can be minimised by the implementation of documented risk management procedures.

The best, brightest and proudest of the marina industry were recognised at the 2025 Nautilus Marine Insurance Marina of the Year Awards, held at Sydney’s picturesque Middle Harbour Skiff Club.
Opening the evening, Marina Industries Association (MIA) President and Master of Ceremonies, Andrew Chapman CMM remarked, “This is another incredibly successful celebration of our industry. The Awards attracted record entries across several categories, with over 110 guests and finalists gathering from across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the UAE and Singapore.”
Andrew Mulholland, Marketing Director / Commercial Partnerships Manager of event partner Nautilus Marine Insurance (NMI), echoed the sentiment, adding, “These Awards honour all entrants and finalists who consistently raise the bar and set new standards in our industry. While outstanding facilities are important, it’s the people who deliver the excellence we celebrate tonight.” Drawing a parallel with the Nautilus Marine Insurance values, Mullholland went on to say, “It’s about putting your customers at the core of everything you do and building trust through integrity and reliability.”
While the Awards have traditionally focused on facilities, 2025 saw the introduction of two new categories designed to spotlight and promote the achievements of individual contributions and rising talent. The inaugural Emerging Talent Award recognised future leaders under 35, with Jacob Morris, Director at Marine Structures, taking home the honour from a strong field. The new Industry Woman of the Year Award also made a strong debut, receiving a wave of impressive nominations. The winner, Stephanie Trounce, WHS Property and Compliance Manager at Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard, was acknowledged for her deep expertise in safety systems and her leadership in maintaining high standards of property and compliance.

It was a standout night for Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM), which claimed the Marina of the Year Award (over 140 boats), Boatyard of the Year (over 20 boats) and Dry Stack Facility Award. Celebrating 25 years of trailblazing excellence, GCCM has transformed former farming paddocks into a world-class marina and shipyard, playing a pivotal role in the development of the Coomera marine precinct.
Innovation was also in the spotlight this year, with Bellingham Marine taking home the Industry Innovation of the Year Award for its reimagined Unifloat system. The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron (RQYS) once again claimed the coveted Club of the Year Award.
The competition in the Boatyard of the Year category for yards servicing under 20 boats was also strong, with White Bay 6 Marine Park taking the win. Industry veteran Lorraine Yates CMP reflected on the honour, “We’re grateful for industry recognition through awards like these. We have a beautiful facility in a stunning location, and I’m privileged that the owners trust us to manage it every day.”

It was a standout night for Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (GCCM), which claimed the Marina of the Year Award (over 140 boats), Boatyard of the Year (over 20 boats) and Dry Stack Facility Award. Celebrating 25 years of trailblazing excellence, GCCM has transformed former farming paddocks into a world-class marina and shipyard, playing a pivotal role in the development of the Coomera marine precinct.
Innovation was also in the spotlight this year, with Bellingham Marine taking home the Industry Innovation of the Year Award for its reimagined Unifloat system. The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron (RQYS) once again claimed the coveted Club of the Year Award.
The competition in the Boatyard of the Year category for yards servicing under 20 boats was also strong, with White Bay 6 Marine Park taking the win. Industry veteran Lorraine Yates CMP reflected on the honour, “We’re grateful for industry recognition through awards like these. We have a beautiful facility in a stunning location, and I’m privileged that the owners trust us to manage it every day.”

Opening the evening, Marina Industries Association (MIA) President and Master of Ceremonies, Andrew Chapman CMM remarked, “This is another incredibly successful celebration of our industry. The Awards attracted record entries across several categories, with over 110 guests and finalists gathering from across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, the UAE and Singapore.”
Andrew Mulholland, Marketing Director / Commercial Partnerships Manager of event partner Nautilus Marine Insurance (NMI), echoed the sentiment, adding, “These Awards honour all entrants and finalists who consistently raise the bar and set new standards in our industry.

The inaugural Emerging Talent Award recognised future leaders under 35, with Jacob Morris, Director at Marine Structures, taking home the honour from a strong field. The new Industry Woman of the Year Award also made a strong debut, receiving a wave of impressive nominations.

Australia cheered on as Perth native Matthew ‘Matt’ Wearn took home the gold in the Laser class at his first Olympics in Tokyo. The 26-year-old Perth native was enjoying a well-earned break post-Games in Belgium with his fiancée and fellow sailor Emma Plasschaert, when we chatted to him via video call. We asked Matt about his Olympics experience and his future plans within sailing.
Any key mentors or sailing role models who had a formative impact on you? Belinda Stowell is someone who has been there and part of the sailing culture from the beginning. She took me under her wing and helped guide me along the track. Tom Slingsby is obviously another person I looked up to. He dominated the Laser class for many years and so as a young kid I was sort of a fan boy. His coach Michael Blackburn is another big name I always wanted to meet and he’s now been my coach for 10 years. It’s a pretty cool sport in that you can have those experiences with people you admire.
Talk us through the actual moment of being on the medal podium in Tokyo and receiving that gold medal. What goes through your mind? From the moment you get off the water after the medal race, it’s just insanity. You get whisked away for live media interviews and other formalities. It wasn’t until I was standing behind the podium that I got to just stop for five minutes with myself. That was a really cool moment of just letting everything in. The weight of the last five years, sort of lifts off your shoulders in some sense. Then when they call your name and you stand on the podium, you watch the flag raise and listen to the national anthem, you do get emotional. You start to shed a little bit of a tear in the corner of your eye. All the hard work and sacrifice is for that moment and it just sort of flows through you.
What’s next for you? You’ve no doubt earned a bit of time off but do you already have the next big goal in mind? The initial plan is to have some time off then to get back into more of the professional side of sailing. I’ve been doing some more sailing on bigger boats and I’ve enjoyed that team environment as well – it brings out another aspect of sailing. The main goal is definitely set firmly on Paris, with only three years between the Olympics it’s going to come around quickly. So I’ll get back into training for that early next year. I haven’t ever won a World Championship either so that is definitely on the list as well
