La Amada Marina in Cancun, Mexico has recently joined the IGY Marinas international network of premier yachting destinations. With 176 slips for yachts up to 180 feet, this splendid superyacht marina is part of the La Amada Residences and Marina in Playa Mujeres and features 214 amazing beachfront condominiums as well as beautiful natural surroundings, comprising the Mayan Ruins.
The marina lies within one of the most exclusive and private communities in the region, and is located just minutes from the world’s second largest coral reef and an abundance of sport fish and sea life. La Amada is just a 10-minute drive from the center of Cancun with many restaurants, bars, clubs and nearby golf courses. With a maximum depth of 12 feet, the La Amada Marina offers 24-hour surveillance and a concierge that is fully at the service of marina guests. Conveniences such as a boat repair facility with a 100-ton travel lift, fuel, provisioning, and a ship’s agent make berthing in Cancun a hassle-free experience for yachtsmen.
La Amada Marina is the newest of the 13 marinas in the IGY marina network. Vice President of Real Estate for IGY Marinas Eric Simonton says, “We believe there is tremendous opportunity in Mexico, and we are pleased to be able to grow our presence in that market. La Amada Marina allows us to fill out our Western Caribbean strategy and we are now able to provide a complete circuitous cruising itinerary through the Caribbean and Central America to our guests.
