Karpaz Gate Marina launches day charters

Karpaz Gate Marina in northern Cyprus has announced the launch of a new day charter service. The marina is offering sail and motorboats for skippered charters, including a 46ft (14m) sailing yacht for full and half-day sailing trips, catering for up to six people.

Motor charters at Karpaz Gate are offered with a skipper, for half or full days and are available on a four-cabin 52ft Azimut motor yacht for up to ten passengers or a 22ft boat for a maximum of four people.

An additional 30hp motorboat is available to be leased as a bareboat upon presentation of a valid powerboat international license.

Oykun Erureten, operational manager at Karpaz Gate Marina Resort, says: “Day charter with a 46ft sailing yacht is a natural addition to what we already offer, which I am sure visitors will be keen to try when seeing the colour of the water in this Mediterranean location.”

Karpaz Gate Marina also facilitates powerboat skipper qualifications. With places available in September, the new tuition package is open to anyone over the age of 12, includes a two-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course at the marina’s RYA Training Centre, plus two nights’ stay at the 52-room nautical-themed hotel.

Erureten concludes: “We have people sailing to us from all over the world to sample our world-class services, and we are pleased to offer a taste of the nautical marine lifestyle to those who are visiting us from land – as a day trip or staying at our hotel and wishing to enhance their experience.”
