Networking and knowledge sharing is a huge part of the benefit of NZMOA membership. Our annual Marina and Boatyard Conference is held in September each year and Open Forums in the first half of the year. Regular social meet ups are also an opportunity to get to know your colleagues.

This independently run biennial survey looks at all roles within a standard Marina operation. The results are available to members at a small fee to guide them with salary and wage rates within their facility.

We have special logos available for members to display. 

These ever evolving programs allow members to participate in an industry owned program. The program allows Marinas to review their systems and procedures to best recognise their environmental responsibilities.

Stage one of the Clean Marina programme requires members to sign the pledge to complete the first phase within a 12 month period.

All full members are given a complimentary listing on the marinas and boatyard directory at www.nzmarinas.com and on the industry supplier directory for Associate Members. For those that wish to further explore marketing opportunities there is a comprehensive marketing sponsorship program.

NZMOA has a position on the NZ Marine Executive, which allows MOA to have a voice within the wider Marine Industry.

In our Members Only section, members gain access to a range of information including NZMOA documents, member resources and more. 

Through our partnership with the Marina Industries Association of Australia we offer member rates for courses including: Introduction to Marinas, Intermediate Marina Management, Advanced Marina Management, Certified Marina Management, Boatyard Course, Marine Service Managers Course and a Straddle Lift Operators Course.

Boatyard and Apprenticeship programs are facilitated by NZMOA through MAST Academy New Zealand. 

The NZMOA Marina of the Year Awards were introduced in 2017, with award categories developed to recognise success and outstanding achievement across the marina industry. The awards ceremony is held at a formal dinner during the annual general meeting and conference.

In 2016 NZMOA rolled out a suite of documents to assist members in their obligations to maintain good records for their part time and full time employees. The suite of documents was created by consultancy Wilde and Freeman who are available to support members on their use of the suite of documents.  

This scheme allows members of NZMOA to issue third party insurance across the counter to customers requiring third party cover for their vessel. The cover is transferable between any NZMOA member facility.  Gallagher Insurance  runs this valuable programme for all members.
