Sydney's Superyacht Berthing Breakthrough

In this episode of the Ben Taylor Podcast, we dive into the strategic developments at Jones Bay Superyacht Marina, right in the heart of Sydney. As demand for berthing facilities continues to outstrip supply, this marina's recent expansion to accommodate superyachts up to 100 meters offers invaluable lessons in overcoming infrastructure challenges. Nairn, the general manager, shares how they navigated a six-year journey of approvals and construction, resulting in recognition as the Australian Marina of the Year. This episode unveils strategies on balancing local demand with international visitation, providing insights critical for decision-makers who seek to invest in infrastructure growth that supports both domestic stability and global appeal.

Key Points:
