MIA Webinar: Your Marina Marketing Playbook | 12 November, 2026.
Two marinas on the same stretch of coast, with similar facilities and pricing. One has a waitlist; the other has empty berths. The difference is often a clear marketing strategy.
Join Luke McCaul from Zeal Marinas, Jarvis Binkin, CMO, and Richard Barrett, CMM, for a no-fluff session on what’s working in marina marketing. It will include unpacking real campaigns from real marinas: what they did, who they targeted and the results.
You’ll walk away with:
- Marketing gaps that cost marinas
- Proven campaigns you can adapt
- A take-home strategy template
Responsible for occupancy, revenue or growth? This is an hour well spent.
