The premium central Auckland superyacht marina, Viaduct Marina, will provide its Super Yacht Berth users with a unique opportunity to go online for free from next week. Viaduct Marina, situated at the foot of Auckland’s CBD, will join the nearby Silo Park marina to be the first marinas in New Zealand to provide hard wired internet.
The superyacht marina specialises in accommodating superyachts and maintains fifty berths between 20m and 60m to a controlling depth of 4.5m and the introduction of free internet is just one of a number of recent service developments as it gears up for one of its busiest summer seasons ever.
Over the last month 15 of the marina’s pontoons have been extended 15 metres, new steel piles lodged and four foot high pedestal boxes installed with individually metered power supplies.
Marina Manager Alex Atkinson says Auckland already has a strong reputation for quality hospitality for boat owners, captains and crew and the new additions will make their stay that much more enjoyable. “We’re delighted to be able to offer free internet for berth users to plug into as we appreciate that Auckland is a long way for many of visiting clientele to come and it’s important that they are connected whilst they’re here.”
“Coupled with the improvements to the berths themselves, we’ve greatly increased our capacity to take on larger vessels that can come and experience all we have to offer at this South Pacific port whether it’s the pristine islands and maritime playground of the Hauraki Gulf or the refit and service facilities.”
“All Super yacht berths in the marina are fully booked into March however bookings are still being taken in case of unexpected vacancies. The marina is now in first class condition and we have some more exciting developments to come in 2013!”
