Sanya Serenity Marina Receives Gold Anchor Award

On the 24th March 2015, Chapman Taylor designed Sanya Serenity Marina received the Marina Industries Association (MIA) Gold Anchor Award, with the highest possible rating. It was presented to the Marina Club in Hainan, China, by MIA President Andrew Chapman for its excellent facilities and service. It joins an elite, global group of marinas that have achieved this prestigious status.

The Gold Anchor Award was created to rate marinas and help the boating public determine which marinas that had the best facilities and services. Having recently signed a contract with the London based Yacht Harbour Association, the Gold Anchor Marina Rating Scheme will become the global award for international marinas.

It not only provides excellent boat mooring facilities but also a combination of marine culture and entertainment facilities.
