Audit of current operations, SOPs, safety protocols, team structure, and service standards with a prioritised improvement plan.
Team design, marina rules, software selection, berthing strategy, customer journey, and Five Gold Anchor readiness before opening day.
Revenue analysis, pricing, ancillary income, membership design, F&B profitability, and owner reporting frameworks.
Five Gold Anchor, TYHA Platinum, Blue Flag, ISO 14001, and Clean Marina gap assessments with documented action plans.
