Karpaz Gate Marina Reveals Expansion and New Benefits for Boat Owners
Karpaz Gate Marina, the first international standard marina resort in North Cyprus, has announced the expansion of its facilities to offer new benefits for boat owners this season.
To meet the needs of the growing number of international sailors and boaters discovering the full-service destination each year, the award-winning marina is launching additional leisure amenities and an enhanced dry dock area.
The latest developments include the addition of a Yacht Club with lounge and meeting room, which will also serve as the base for the established Karpaz Gate Marina’s RYA Training Centre. Investment has also been directed towards building a larger fitness area, an indoor pool and jacuzzi, plus further meeting rooms.
This April, a hamam and spa opened to marina clients, complementing the renowned Beach Club, with pools and private beach, which is now open for the season.
The extensive repair and maintenance capabilities available at the marina’s Technical Centre and dry dock area are strengthened with a new designated workshop and storage areas for clients to rent.
Liza Singer, Managing Director, Karpaz Gate Marina Resort, said: “The latest developments are another significant milestone in our creation of a true marina resort in this beautiful area of the Mediterranean. We can now be confident that visiting sailors from across the world will be welcomed with the highest standards of berthing services, leisure facilities and technical capabilities. With berthing rates and packages that offer real value for money, plus the on-site hotel and new leisure options, boat owners looking for a safe, peaceful and unique home port or cruising stop will find all they need at Karpaz Gate Marina.”
For the 2022 season, pioneering Karpaz Gate Marina offers boutique accommodation in a North Cyprus marina setting for the first time – a significant development for the region. Visiting boat owners and their friends and family, RYA sailing students and other guests can take advantage of the nautical-themed 52-room hotel overlooking the marina, sea and gardens.
Live entertainment options are also available this summer, with the marina hosting several special jazz weekends this year for guests and visitors.
The island of Cyprus is attracting more interest from the yachting community as investment in the marina and yachting infrastructure continues to increase. However, the transformation is most notable in the less developed North Cyprus region due to the Karpaz Gate Marina development.
Five Gold Anchor-rated Karpaz Gate Marina is an official Port of Entry and is consistently recognized in the annual TYHA Marina of the Year Awards.
The reservations system for the Karpaz Gate Marina Hotel is now open via the website. For more information about berthing, call the marina office on +90 533 833 7878 or email info@karpazbay.com.
