Marina Match Joins MIA

Marina Match Joins the Australian Marina Industry Association

January 2025 – Marina Match, an Australian digital marketplace for marina berths, private jetties, and waterfront properties, is pleased to announce its membership in the Australian Marina Industry Association.

The membership represents an important milestone for Marina Match as it develops a more connected marine network for boaters, marina operators, yacht clubs, private jetty owners, and waterfront property owners across Australia.

What Is Marina Match?

Marina Match is an intelligent online platform designed to make it easier to find, list, book, manage, and promote marina berths and waterfront berthing opportunities.

The platform connects people who control suitable marine spaces with boaters searching for short-term, seasonal, long-term, or permanent berthing options.

Marina Match Connects

• Commercial marina operators
• Yacht clubs and boating clubs
• Private jetty owners
• Waterfront property owners
• Boaters searching for marina berths
• Buyers and sellers of marina berths and waterfront properties

By bringing these groups together through one digital marine platform, Marina Match aims to make berth discovery, marina management, and waterfront property marketing more transparent and efficient.

Why AMIA Membership Matters

Joining the Australian Marina Industry Association reflects Marina Match’s commitment to supporting professional standards, innovation, industry collaboration, and the long-term development of Australia’s marina and boating sector.

The association represents participants across the marina industry, including marinas, boatyards, commercial marine facilities, suppliers, and service providers.

Benefits of Industry Participation

• Closer engagement with marina operators and marine professionals
• Greater awareness of industry needs and operational challenges
• Opportunities to support marina innovation and digital transformation
• Stronger relationships across Australia’s boating community
• Improved understanding of marina management best practices

For Marina Match, industry participation provides valuable opportunities to learn from marina professionals and develop tools that respond to real operational requirements.

Supporting the Future of Australian Marinas

Australian marinas are increasingly adopting digital tools to manage berth availability, occupancy, bookings, payments, maintenance, customer records, and long-term berthing arrangements.

Marina Match supports this transition by providing an online platform that combines marina discovery with digital berth management.

Marina Match Platform Features

• Interactive live marina maps
• Online marina berth listings
• Short-term and long-term berthing enquiries
• Booking and availability management
• Occupancy and vessel tracking
• Secure online payment tools
• Private jetty and waterfront property listings
• Marina berth sale listings

These tools are designed to reduce repetitive administration while giving boaters clearer information about available berths, vessel requirements, facilities, prices, and booking conditions.

Helping Boaters Find Suitable Berths

Finding the right marina berth can be difficult when availability, dimensions, pricing, and facility information are spread across different websites or only available by telephone or email.

Marina Match gives boaters a more organised way to search for marina berths for rent, private jetties, boat moorings, and other docking options.

Information Boaters May Need Before Booking

• Maximum vessel length and beam
• Available water depth
• Berth price and minimum-stay requirements
• Electricity and water access
• Marina facilities and security
• Insurance and documentation requirements
• Arrival and departure procedures
• Cancellation conditions

Clear and accessible information helps boaters make better decisions while reducing unnecessary enquiries for Dock Masters.

Supporting Private Jetty and Waterfront Property Owners

Private waterfront owners may have jetties or berthing spaces that are available for casual, seasonal, or long-term use. Marina Match provides a way for eligible owners to present these opportunities to boaters searching by location and vessel requirements.

The platform also supports the advertising of waterfront properties and marina berths offered for sale, helping connect sellers with buyers interested in marine access and boating infrastructure.

Types of Listings Supported

• Marina berths for rent
• Private jetties for rent
• Long-term and permanent berthing opportunities
• Marina berths for sale
• Waterfront properties with jetties
• Marine-related property listings
