Editor’s Note: In a headline the winning marina was incorrectly named. The 1st Place for Best Small Marina was Chick’s Marina in Kennebunkport, Maine.
Each year Marina Life Magazine readers cast thousands of votes for top-notch marinas that provide exceptional customer service and hospitality to guests. The winners are chosen by a five-month survey of boaters in the United States and abroad.
"We are thrilled to announce the winners of our 12th annual Best Marina Contest," the magazine announced in a press release. "Thank you to all of the hardworking marina staff members and dedicated boaters who participated."
Onna A. Grimm, Owner/Manager of Chesapeake Yacht Sales & Deltaville Yachting Center says, "The team wants to thank boaters from around the USA, Europe and Canada, who make coming to work each day possible. It is very fitting to see Deltaville, VA, The Boating Capital of the Chesapeake, included in this prestigious award."
