The clearly defined criteria and internationally recognised standards enable us to create transparency and trust for our customers.

Christoph Volkmann
Managing Director Marina Sonwik, Flensburg
In times when quality takes precedence over quantity, it is very important for us to offer a very balanced price/performance ratio in competition with other marinas. The BLUE STAR MARINA certification is a good indicator of this and showed us clearly where we were already doing well and where we needed to make adjustments. In addition to the modernisation measures, we have been able to significantly improve the standard of our marina in recent years and are now proud of our 4-star classification.
Oliver Behnke
Director of Tourism Services Fehmarn
The BLUE STAR MARINA certification is an important component of our quality assurance and a sign of our commitment to our guests and permanent berth holders in the harbour. The clearly defined criteria and internationally recognised standards enable us to create transparency and trust for our customers. The classification motivates us to continuously develop as a marina and harbour, create new experiences and set an example for professionalism and further development. The uniform assessment not only promotes safety and service quality, but is also welcomed by our guests and water sports enthusiasts.
