MDL Marinas introduced Dock and Discover to celebrate and reward berth holders and visitors who capitalised on its network of 18 UK marinas for overnight stays during summer.

Each stay earned a stamp, leading up to the grand Tier 3 prize draw.

The Cooks expressed their delight, saying, "We are over the moon to be selected as the winners of the top prize and can’t wait for our trip to Thailand! Thanks MDL Marinas and Fairview Sailing."

Ocean Village's manager, Lauren Bright, commended the Cooks, saying they're a "much-loved part" of the community.
