The figures for this year show a rise in general visitors using the marina’s Beach Club, watersports centre, restaurants and other facilities, as well as an increase in yacht owners taking up short-term moorings during the first eight months of the year, with a remarkable growth in numbers specifically in July and August.

For the very first time, the marina also offered a large number of additional activities, including dinghy sailing with the new Karpaz Gate Marina Sailing Club and yoga classes, with diving tours and tuition with Mephisto and kayaking still available.

Karpaz Gate Marina Harbour Master Deniz Akaltan predicts more yacht owners and superyacht charter guests, ranging from superyacht owners to cruising couples and families in mid-size boats, will discover the advantages of berthing at the marina. He said: “Berthing prices at Karpaz Gate Marina offer excellent value for a beautiful, safe and convenient place for your boat. Plus we have all the facilities anyone could require, such as an extensive dry dock area, berth services and leisure options, and a stunning location on the Karpaz Peninsula surrounded by nature, historical sites and pristine beaches. We have just completed only our fourth season since opening, but have already established ourselves as a marina willing to go above and beyond to please our customers. We are committed to strive to make even more improvements and I encourage boat owners to come and experience everything we have to offer.”

Thanks to its ancient castles and abbeys, vibrant culture and enticing cuisine, golden beaches and fascinating coastline, North Cyprus has something for everyone. The country boasts mountainous peaks as well as an abundance of flora and fauna and notable wildlife, including the region’s rare turtles and wild donkeys.
