On 5 June, Karpaz Gate Marina, a luxury superyacht marina situated on the fabulous Karpaz Peninsula in the north-eastern tip of Northern Cyprus will once again play host to 80 yachts which are taking part in the 2012 Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally (EMYR).
Karpaz Gate Marina will be greeting the participating yachtsmen, and providing all visitors with free berthing as well as access to all the marina’s services including duty-free fuel. This exclusive superyacht marina is also set to host a welcoming party in their honour which will feature a DJ Party until the early hours.
The annual EMYR takes in the delights of the region over the course of 68 days. Starting in Istanbul, the route includes stop-offs at locations spanning three continents and at 12 UNESCO World Heritage sites. The rally will be based at KGM for several days, and concludes at the end of the month after having covered a total of 1641 nautical miles.
This will be the second time that the EMYR has visited Karpaz Gate Marina, and since the first visit in June 2011, the significant progress has been made in the marina with the development of new resort facilities. Now all aspects of the marina, promenade, buildings and dry dock are complete, and more facilities are available to visitors including a gym and mini market.
