MDL Marinas is currently getting ready for the culmination of a year of celebration as it marks 40 successful years since the inauguration of its first luxury yacht marina. Purchased in 1973, Penton Hook Marina in Surrey has since been joined by 18 marinas as well as boatyards in prime locations across the UK, as well as two first-class marinas in its MDL Mediterranean network. A third Mediterranean site, Marina del Gargano in Italy, has been inaugurated this summer.

To mark this important occasion, on Friday 20th September MDL will be welcoming berth holders and visitors to their stand at the PSP Southampton Boat Show, to join them for a very special charity auction.

To celebrate their 40th Anniversary, MDL has pledged to raise £40,000 for the Ocean Youth Trust South. MDL is a huge supporter of their work and this money will go towards a new boat and help provide adventure under sail to many more young people from the widest possible range of backgrounds. As part of this support, the 40th anniversary charity auction will take place from 1.30pm. Nick Bonham, former chairman of Bonham’s and one of the most experienced auctioneers in the Country, as well as a well-known yachtsman, will preside over the fundraising auction.

Dean Smith Marketing Director at MDL Marinas, commented: “We are very pleased and proud to be celebrating 40 years of continued success for MDL Marinas in 2013. We have worked with the Ocean Youth Trust South for over half of the past 40 years, and so it seemed only natural to further this relationship with our anniversary charity auction. We look forward to welcoming berth holders and show visitors on Friday 20th September to join us for what promises to be a great event, and one that we hope will raise even more for this deserving cause.”

Visitors to MDL’s Waterside Pavilion can register to bid for lots including an annual berth at the MDL marina of their choice, as well as enjoying live music and birthday tea and cake throughout the day.
