7 mins confidence:

well-known

Explanation:
I assume these are marinas (?), so near the well-known marinas X and Y

I know this is not literal, but I'm working on the assumption that if they have a "long tradition", they've been around for a while and therefore have a good reputation.

And several of them are practiced from a beach location, so I don't think marinas does it.
