Megayachts – Cyprus to Open First Superyacht Marina in March

Posted on

SUPERYACHT MARINA IN CYPRUS

Hoping to take advantage of the growing popularity of non-traditional cruising grounds for Mediterranean yacht charters, the €350 million Euro Cyprus Limassol Marina is nearing completion and will be fully-operational in the first half of 2014.

The first yachts set to arrive in March.  The commercial area will open its doors to the public in June, 2014.

This is special because a superyacht marina is desperately needed in this area.  Both owners and charter guests benefit from the marina.

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

Jana Sheeder, President and Owner of SailAway Yacht Charters and 1-800 Yacht Charters is eager to offer a new port of call to her repeat clients. 

 

“This is the first superyacht marina in Cyprus, a country located at the crossroads of three continents,” says  Sheeder.  “Limassol is a city with international panache, and the marina is located in the heart of this community.  The berths are directly attached to adjacent villas, making this an ideal location for a shore-and-sea holiday.”

ABOUT THE MARINA

The marina will have 650 berths. In specific, for vessels up to 115 meters (377 feet) in length.

“We hope to see some of our more popular Eastern Mediterranean yachts now pass through Cyprus,” says Sheeder.  Yachts often seen in this region include 2011 Benetti yacht charter vessel motor yacht DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, and 2010 sail yacht KOKOMO.

==========

Cyprus is located in the eastern Mediterranean, off the southern coast of Turkey.  In conclusion, for information about Turkey or Greek yacht charters, contact 1-800 Yacht Charters at https://www.1800yachtcharters.com/book-now-contact-us/
