The most experienced notified body in the recreational craft sector - IMCI - runs the most comprehensive certification scheme for marinas. The basic principles: Impartial, Reliable and Sustainable.

Blue Star Marina is not only targeted to visitors of a marina - the scope is wider: All stakeholders profit from the certification - no matter, if you plan to invest, if you are a member of a (local) government or community or if you are the captain of a yacht looking to find a reliable partner to make the most out of a visit for your guests, yacht and crew - Blue Star Marina has the answer!

All that put together in an easy to understand Five Star Scheme.

ABOUT BLUE STAR MARINA

Blue Star Marina is the independent marina certification by IMCI, the International Marine Certification Institute in Brussels. Our inspectors assess marinas on service, safety and environment and award three to five stars.

For boaters, the stars show at a glance what to expect. For the marina, the inspection shows where it stands and what to improve.
