As part of a unique berthing package for this year, the 13th month is free for lucky yacht owners staying at Karpaz Gate Marina. The package provides 13 reasons to berth at the Northern Cyprus resort.
The highlight of the package is a free lift and launch, free hull wash with one month of free hard standing and two coats of free, professionally-applied antifouling, which will benefit yacht owners berthing at Karpaz Gate Marina for more than six months.
The lucky 2013 offer continues for owners who book for 12 months, with Karpaz Gate adding an extra month’s stay for free.
With superyacht marina prices already fixed at 2012 rates and Karpaz enjoying a tax-free environment, there are already six cost-cutting reasons for boat owners to enjoy a long-term stay in this beautiful area of the Eastern Mediterranean.
The package also includes membership to Karpaz Gate Marina’s newly opened International Beach Club, adjacent to the marina.
With crystal clear water and an unspoilt landscape, Northern Cyprus has a reputation as one of the top new sailing destinations, with the region known for its exceptional climate all year round. Visitors can experience the beautiful coastline, with miles of sandy beaches, coves and bays along the North East of the country.
Karpaz Gate Marina is the only luxury superyacht marina in the Eastern Mediterranean and boasts an experienced marina team with multi-lingual and helpful staff to assist visitors. It is also the most modern and well-equipped marina in the area with an ability to accommodate 300 yachts up to 55 metres.
Should owners leave their boats and return home during the winter months, they can rest assured that their yacht is well cared for. Karpaz Gate Marina has one of the most sophisticated security systems in the Mediterranean region with computerised, selective pontoon access and CCTV cameras located throughout the marina manned by security staff 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
As another incentive for yachts sailing to Northern Cyprus for the first time, Karpaz Gate Marina is a recognised port of entry.
“We are delighted to be able to offer this deal for boat owners staying over the summer months and beyond in 2013,” said Harbour Master Deniz Akaltan. “The benefits on offer mean we can make berthing in Northern Cyprus very appealing.”
The marina and yard facilities at Karpaz Gate Marina are operated by a single management company, enabling all facilities on water and ashore to be linked cost-effectively for the boat owner. Plus, the duty-free status at the marina provides savings on fuel, technical service and supplies.
The engineering and boat maintenance services include an 18,000 sq m dry dock for refit and repairs. A substantial 300-ton travel lift, one of the largest in the region, is capable of lifting vessels up to 45 metres and with a beam of up to 10 metres. These vessels can be accommodated ashore or antifouled in the slings.
Karpaz Gate Marina also features a restaurant running special nights throughout the year, shopping facilities, gym, shower and laundry facilities.
