Marina YE at Yarra’s Edge has a lot of ‘firsts’ under its belt.

The marina, managed by Allan Cayzer, was the first Victorian marina to be accredited under the Clean Marinas Australia Environmental Management Program.

It was also the first Victorian marina to receive the Gold Anchor rating under the International Gold Anchor Marina Rating System.

According to Mr Cayzer, the marina is also the only one in Australia to be an accredited tourism business under the Better Business Tourism Accreditation Program.

Mr Cayzer himself has more than 50 years’ experience in the industry and was the first Victorian marina manager to be accredited as a certified marina manager, after completing the International Marina Institute’s advanced marina management course in Florida, USA.

Although considered a residential marina, Marina YE has a strong focus on tourism, providing facilities for visiting boats. It was the first in Australia to provide visiting boats with towels and toiletries for use in the marina’s bathroom facilities.

“Marina YE has become an integral part of the Yarra’s Edge precinct, not only for its boat owners, but also those residents who simply enjoy living at a marina with the coming and going of boats,” Mr Cayzer said.

“As well, Marina YE is well known within the Victorian and interstate recreational boating community for its customer service, its proximity to Melbourne’s CBD and its fluffy white towels.”
