“We’d like to credit it to years of consistently having yacht owners and reps seeing our capabilities for themselves, believing in Marine Group’s ability to perform complicated and technical work lists; and then approving of the high quality work that we’re able to produce,” said Todd Roberts, vice president of Marine Group Boat Works and Fifth Avenue Landing. “Instead, we’re thanking Larry Ellison and congratulating Team Oracle.”

Fifth Avenue Landing’s new look

Notice anything new? Like a friend who colored her hair and got a cut, Fifth Avenue Landing has a completely new look! We’re so excited to announce the launch of our new superyacht marina website — it took us a couple years, but we finally created an interactive forum for us to share all our resources with you. Since we opened in 2008, we struggled with the development of our concierge program – how could we be a better host to our guests?
