Karpaz Gate Marina in North Cyprus has retained its 5 Gold Anchor award following assessment from The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) in the UK.

The internationally recognised industry accreditation officially endorses the marina’s standards of facilities, customer service, operational efficiency and commitment to the environment.

“Karpaz Gate Marina staff work hard to maintain an excellent facility,” says TYHA Gold Anchor scheme assessor Tony Dye. “The overall presentation of the marina was very high, together with high levels of customer service which is borne out by the recent Mystery Shopper survey. The addition of a high-quality hotel in 2020 will only enhance the facility.”

The Gold Anchor scheme has been auditing marinas throughout the world for more than 25 years and considers all operational, facility and customer service aspects of running a modern marina.

A winner in both the 2017 and the 2018/19 TYHA Marina of the Year Awards, Karpaz Gate Marina is once again in contention for recognition in this year’s awards, with voting taking place via TYHA website until 25 August.

Karpaz Gate Marina caters for yachts of up to 60m, with leisure facilities including the Karpaz Gate Marina Beach Club with 33m infinity pool and watersports centre, Private Gallery Club, gym, children’s play area and Hemingway’s Resto-Bar.

There is also a range of maintenance, repair, carpentry, mechanical and electrical services available at the marina’s onsite boat yard.
