Offering a homeport, a vibrant community and natural abundance to every sailor
An idyllic international standard marina based on the unspoiled Karpaz Peninsula in North Cyprus, Karpaz Gate Marina has been attracting superyachts for well over a decade.
The 5 Gold Anchor Platinum marina offers outstanding facilities and an Eastern Mediterranean haven like no other. As an official port of entry to the country, this full-service destination is nestled in a bay on the island’s sandy unspoilt shores away from bustling crowds and provides an authentic retreat to visiting yachts, their crew and guests. As a full-service marina resort, visitors can expect to receive the highest levels of service, berthing and amenities.
Boasting a modern, nautically themed 52-room boutique hotel complete with touches such as teak deck floors, white wood washed ceilings and sailing visuals, the resort provides visitors with attractive options both on and off the water. It has 44 standard cabins, four family corner cabins and four VIP cabins, all with marina, sea or garden views from the balcony.
The resort has its own hammam and spa, fitness suite, indoor pool, outdoor infinity pool and beach club where guests can luxuriate and relax in the stunning surroundings. Treatment rooms offer a range of relaxing massages and treatments ensuring the well-being of guests is prioritised during their stay allowing them to embrace the true spirit and culture of North Cyprus. Yoga and mindfulness can be practised from the studio overlooking the marina’s turquoise waters.
Aside from the host of tempting leisure pursuits, guests can also socialise over sundowners from the promenade resto-bar Hemingway’s, where a range of delicious, traditional, locally sourced food is prepared.
There is regular live entertainment providing the perfect ambience to enjoy over food and drinks while relishing the region’s welcoming hospitality and if guests prefer more active options during their downtime, there is a range of water sports on offer from snorkelling to kayaks and an ISSA accredited sailing school.
The marina benefits from an on-site boat yard with a 300-ton capacity travel lift and an 18,000 sqm dry-dock area. Perfect for a prolonged stay, the marina’s experienced technical team can provide mechanical and electrical work, painting, hull repairs, anti-fouling, polishing, varnishing and teak replacement, carpentry and interior furniture work by arrangement.
Further elevating the marina into a complete destination for owners, crew and guests, the resort keeps sustainability at the heart of its operations. This idyllic complex not only respects the natural beauty of the area, it also ensures that eco-conscious guests play their part in preserving the local environment and waters for the enjoyment of all with incentives including: a no fishing rule in the marina; abundant recycling efforts; renewable energy management; free black water disposal; involvement in local conservation efforts and produce from the resort’s own garden served directly to guests’ plates in the restaurant.
Providing world-class customer service whilst respecting and protecting the natural environment ensures that Karpaz Gate Marina remains an asset to one of the last unspoilt areas of the Mediterranean. This is endorsed by its accolade as winner of the Monaco Sustainable & Smart Marina award and Clean Marina status and a facility that puts North Cyprus on the map as a desirable, premiere Mediterranean destination, worthy of the discerning superyacht crew and guests cruising in the region.
