Congratulations to the Strong’s Water Club team and Atlantique team for earning the 2025 “Elite Fleet Award” from Marinas.com!

Strong’s Marine Marinas Recognized with the 2025 Dockwa Elite Fleet Awards

At Strong’s Marine, everything we do—on land and on the water—centers on one goal: delivering an exceptional experience for boaters. That commitment was recognized in 2025 when our marinas, Strong’s Water Club and Atlantique at Strong’s and Grovers, received Dockwa Elite Fleet Awards—an honor reserved for the highest-performing marinas across the country.

This recognition reflects not only the quality of our facilities, but also the dedication of our marina teams and the continued trust boaters place in us season after season.

What Are the Dockwa Elite Fleet Awards?

Dockwa, the leading marina reservation and management platform, grants Elite Fleet status to marinas that consistently provide exceptional service, operational excellence, and a seamless experience for boaters.

Marinas are evaluated using real performance data and verified boater feedback, including:

• Reservation efficiency and responsiveness

• Customer satisfaction and reviews

• Operational reliability and professionalism

• Overall boater experience

Earning an Elite Fleet Award means a marina has demonstrated—through measurable performance and authentic guest reviews—that it meets Dockwa’s highest standards.

Why This Matters to Boaters

For boaters, Dockwa Elite Fleet status is more than a badge—it’s a trusted mark of quality.

When you choose a Dockwa Elite Fleet marina, you can expect:

• Clear, reliable communication

• Streamlined booking and arrival processes

• Clean, well-maintained docks and facilities

• Knowledgeable, attentive marina staff

• A smooth, enjoyable stay from start to finish

Simply put, it offers peace of mind—whether you're planning a weekend getaway, an extended stay, or a last-minute visit during peak season.
