Discover Karpaz Gate Marina north Cyprus: a hidden gem in the East Mediterranean

A vision that transformed the Karpaz Peninsula

The creation of Karpaz Gate Marina North Cyprus was the result of a bold vision by British entrepreneur David Lewis CBE, who sought to build a world-class resort and marina in an untouched corner of the East Mediterranean. Since its inception in the early 2000s, the project has grown into a landmark development—combining luxury, sustainability, and service in a unique setting.

Although Mr. Lewis passed away in 2011, his legacy lives on through continued investment and management by Sea-Alliance Group and Owner Representative Liza Singer, who have led the project from concept through construction and into successful operation.

World-Class facilities in an untouched setting

Today, Karpaz Gate Marina is the first modern marina in North Cyprus, offering 5 Gold Anchor-rated services and unmatched infrastructure. It boasts:

  • 300 berths, including facilities for yachts up to 55 metres

  • 18,000m² dry dock and 300-ton travel lift

  • Duty-free technical services, fuel, and spare parts

  • High-speed Wi-Fi, power and water to every berth

The marina was designed with superyacht standards in mind, attracting discerning owners, captains and crew looking for a more tranquil yet professional base in the region.

Karpaz Gate Marina North Cyprus is not just a place to dock—it’s a destination in itself.

Comfort and leisure on and off the water

Guests and crew can relax at the stylish Beach Club, complete with:

  • A 33m infinity pool, private cabanas, and beachfront loungers

  • Watersports centre with kayaks, snorkelling gear and more

  • Hemingway’s Resto-Bar, offering Cypriot and international cuisine

  • Art Gallery, Mini Mariners Club, gym, and cinema nights

A mini-market, chandlery, and concierge service are available to handle everything from provisioning to travel bookings, while car rental and shuttle services make regional exploration easy.

Gateway to the East Mediterranean

Positioned on the remote and scenic Karpaz Peninsula, the marina opens up a new cruising region with sheltered anchorages, golden beaches, and rich cultural heritage. From here, it’s a short sail to the Turkish coastline and under 300 nautical miles to the Greek Islands.

The duty-free status, excellent weather, and developing tourism infrastructure make Karpaz Gate Marina North Cyprus a strategic hub for superyachts and private vessels seeking something beyond the typical Mediterranean hotspots.

Supporting the local community and economy

Karpaz Gate Marina is more than just a marina—it plays an active role in the development of the local economy. Employing over 70 people in peak season and supporting regional suppliers, it also promotes local culture through art exhibitions and sponsorship of local events.

The investment of over $100 million makes it one of the most significant foreign investments in the TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), helping to put North Cyprus on the global nautical map.

Recognition and strategic partnerships

Since opening, Karpaz Gate Marina has:

  • Earned 5 Gold Anchors from The Yacht Harbour Association

  • Joined the ICOMIA Marinas Group

  • Become part of the ART Marine “Destinations” network, offering reciprocal benefits at luxury marinas in the Middle East, Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia
