The objectives of the IMOA are:

• To provide a forum for discussion between marinas
• To establish standards for the sector
• To provide training opportunities for management and staff
• To seek more competitive procurement for the membership
• To develop promotional opportunities to build awareness and assist the expansion of the marine leisure sector.
