Jones Bay Superyacht Marina is thrilled to announce its recognition as “Marina of the Year – Under 140 Boats” at the prestigious 2025 Nautilus Marine Insurance Marina of the Year Awards. Presented at a ceremony hosted by the Marina Industry Association at the Middle Harbour Skiff Club, Sydney. This national honour underscores the marina’s exceptional contribution to the Australian and global superyacht industry.

This award marks a defining milestone for a project more than six years in the making. In February 2023, the City of Sydney Council granted unanimous approval for the redevelopment of the heritage-listed Jones Bay Wharf, leading to the transformation of the site into a state-of-the-art superyacht marina. The achievement reflects the team’s dedication to balancing heritage preservation, architectural integrity, environmental stewardship, and world-class maritime design.

“We are deeply honoured by this award,” said Nairn Johnston CMM, General Manager at Jones Bay Superyacht Marina. “It recognises not only our cutting-edge facilities, but also the people and vision that brought them to life. From our expert marina team to our owners at the Toga Group, this is a shared victory for all who contributed to the journey.”

Jones Bay Superyacht Marina offers an exclusive, deep-water destination just minutes from the Sydney CBD. With capacity for superyachts from 20 to 100+ metres, the facility sets a new benchmark in luxury, security, and sustainability. The marina is more than a berthing location—it is a vibrant hub of business, culture, and lifestyle, offering direct access to world-renowned dining, entertainment, and accommodation.

JBSM’s redevelopment was guided by a clear vision: to create a superyacht facility that meets the highest international standards while honouring the unique heritage of Sydney’s waterfront. Extensive consultation with urban planners, marine engineers, heritage architects, and the superyacht sector shaped a marina that is both globally competitive and deeply rooted in Sydney’s maritime legacy.

The award also acknowledges the outstanding service and experience delivered by the marina’s professional team. From 24/7 assistance to concierge-style amenities, Jones Bay Superyacht Marina provides an elevated experience for captains, crews, owners, and guests alike.

Jones Bay Superyacht Marina extends sincere thanks to the Marina Industries Association, the panel of judges, and Nautilus Marine Insurance for recognising the work, passion, and innovation that define this landmark project. The team remains committed to leading the evolution of luxury marina management and solidifying Sydney’s position as a superyacht gateway to the Asia-Pacific.

With this award, JBSM reaffirms its title as “Australia’s Global Marina”—where heritage meets horizon, and where the superyacht elite are welcomed with excellence.
