In preparation for the anticipated launch of the revised TYHA Code of Practice, The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA), is set to deliver a nationwide roadshow to promote the updated guidelines for marina planning, design and operations.
The 2026 programme will comprise 11 events across the UK and Ireland, all of which are sponsored by Inland and Coastal, alongside Haven Knox Johnston, MHPS and Dura Composites, with the pontoon manufacturer also hosting one of the events at its Banagher headquarters in Ireland.
TYHA Code of Practice
TYHA is the UK’s leading marina trade association, representing marina operators, boatyards and marine businesses both nationally and internationally. Its Code of Practice is widely recognised as the benchmark for best practice within the marina industry, providing guidance that supports safe, sustainable and commercially successful marina operations.
In partnership with Marina Projects, the 8th edition of the TYHA Code of Practice reflects extensive consultation with TYHA members and incorporates principles from established international standards and regulatory frameworks.
The updated Code of Practice is structured into four dedicated volumes covering Planning & Design, Marina Operations, Boatyard and Superyacht. This comprehensive approach ensures the guidance remains relevant to marinas of all sizes and types, addressing evolving operational standards, environmental responsibilities and customer expectations.

Geared primarily towards TYHA members or those interested in joining, the roadshow will give marina operators and stakeholders the opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the revised code, understand its practical application and discuss emerging challenges and opportunities within the sector.
