Mulpha Australia has announced that well-known industry figure and 2017 Marina Manager of the Year (Marine 17) Steve Sammes is the new general manager of the Sanctuary Cove Marina.

Mr Sammes appointment follows a 12 year posting as General Manager of Corporate Services at Gold Coast City Marina and an impressive career credentials including one of the founding directors of the Global Marina Institute (GMI), former board director of the Marina Industries Association (MIA) and the third-ever marina manager in Australia to be awarded the internationally recognised Certified Marina Manager (CMM) designation.

"The Sanctuary Cove Marina is the premier marina of the Gold Coast for recreational vessels offering unparalleled amenity as part of an integrated report, retail, entertainment and marina destination," Mr Sammes said.

"Mulpha intends to broaden the service offer and undertake significant reinvestment into the marina to position the marina as the first choice for berth holders of recreational vessels well into the future.

"A key component of this is integrating other assets of Sanctuary Cove, such as the golf course, village and hotel, to make the overall experience even more enjoyable for our marina berth holders."
