Karpaz Gate Marina Announces the Launch of Day Charter Service with a Choice of Powerboat or Sailing Yacht
The first international standard marina resort in North Cyprus, Karpaz Gate Marina, has announced the launch of a new day charter service. The award-winning marina is pleased to offer the 46ft (14m) sailing yacht for full and half day sailing trips catering for up to six people.
The packages include an experienced skipper and are priced at €600 for half or €1,100 for a full day. Once onboard, guests can enjoy pre-ordered snacks and refreshments, experiencing the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters while viewing some of the most picturesque spots on the peninsula.
This latest development follows the introduction of powerboats to the marina, which are ideal for exploring coves and islands in the area. Offered with a skipper, these half or full day charters are available on a four-cabin 16m/52ft Azimut motoryacht for up to 10 or a 7m/22ft motorboat for a maximum of four people.
An additional 30 hp motorboat is available to be leased as a bareboat upon presenting a valid power boat international license.
Oykun Erureten, Operational Manager at Karpaz Gate Marina Resort, said: “Day charter with a 46ft sailing yacht is a natural addition to what we already offer which I am sure visitors will be keen to try when seeing the color of the water in this Mediterranean location.”
He added: “We have people sailing to us from all over the world to sample our world-class services and we are pleased to offer a taste of the nautical marine lifestyle to those who are visiting us from land – as a day trip or staying at our hotel and wishing to enhance their experience.”
Karpaz Gate Marina also offers people the chance to achieve powerboat skipper qualifications. With places available in September, the new package open to anyone over the age of 12, includes a two-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course at the marina’s RYA Training Centre, plus two nights’ stay at the spectacular 52-room nautical-themed hotel.
Live entertainment options are also available including jazz weekends for guests and visitors. Other leisure amenities include hamam and spa, Beach Club with infinity pool, fitness centre and Hemingway’s Resto-Bar.
