Luxury marina in Northern Cyprus

The Northern Cyprus coastline offers many local harbours and family-run taverns to visit for day sails or short outings. The Turkish coastline is also nearby, while in less than 300 nautical miles it’s possible to reach Rhodes - the gateway to the Greek Islands.

Marina benefits

With strict pollution controls in place and a commitment to the environment and sustainability, the marina has its own vegetable garden and green house, and enforces a no fishing rule in the marina basin to protect wildlife and preserve the crystal-clear water. It achieved recognition from berth holders in The Yacht Harbour Association’s prestigious Marina of the Year Awards in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021, offering all its berth holders and visitors a sanctuary from most of the tax issues and bureaucratic procedures affecting boat owners within the EU and in other regions.

Berth holders also benefit from duty-free status for further savings on marine fuel bunkering, technical marine services, spare parts and yacht supplies.

Incredible charter boat experience
When visiting Karpaz Gate Marina, we could not miss a great opportunity on offer to get out on the water and fully experience the stunning cruising area and coastline of North Cyprus. The marina can organise a Yamaha 7m motorboat, MB Irem, for guests to charter for just €250 and it was absolutely ideal for us and our three-year-old. From beginning to end, the trip was perfect. Upon our arrival, we received a warm welcome from MB Irem’s owner Mehmet and found the boat to be clean and comfortable and fully stocked with drinks, fruit and snacks of our choice. The three-hour trip will live long in our memories. The route took in some of the most picturesque spots on the peninsula, including Karpaz Oasis Beach, Turtle Bay and a small, detached island, named locally as Pigeon Island, towards the East Karpaz area. Sea conditions were fantastic, with crystal-clear water wherever we went. We thank Karpaz Gate Marina and Mehmet, who were extremely helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend the experience to anyone!

Grand Soleil sailing yacht
Would recommend to any boat owner
I have kept my 15.2m (50ft) Grand Soleil sailing yacht at Karpaz Gate Marina since September 2020. Due to the difficult travel situation because of the pandemic, we really needed a marina we could trust to look after our yacht as we were unable to visit regularly from our home in Malta. From the beginning, I have been delighted with every aspect of the marina’s exceptional facilities and customer service. We wanted to anti-foul the yacht before the 2022 season, so we decided to take advantage of the marina’s special Winter Promotion Package, which includes free haul out, hull wash, propeller cleaning and anti-fouling application within the cost of the annual berth. I would recommend this package to any boat owner as a convenient and cost-effective solution, combining berthing and season preparation in a safe, peaceful location in the East Mediterranean. The technical team at Karpaz Gate Marina applied the International Micron 300 anti-fouling and completed all the other technical work to our complete satisfaction. The hull polishing left the yacht looking like new, ready for the sailing season.

Catamaran
Skilled, helpful and friendly
I heard about the extensive technical facility, dry dock and 300-ton travel lift at Karpaz Gate Marina, so I decided to sign a six-month contract over the winter months. I wanted to fully prepare my catamaran for the new season, with some technical work, and hull preparation and polishing. The other factors in our decision were the quiet and beautiful location in North Cyprus, which was convenient for travelling from the UK, and also the immaculate appearance of the entire marina and associated facilities, and reasonable berthing rates. The team at Karpaz Gate Marina carried out the engine services to my complete satisfaction. I am confident the engine will be up and running when I need it, and that it is well serviced for reliable operation for the months ahead. I also needed the hull prepared for a Coppercoat anti-fouling application and was very pleased with the quality of the work again. Finally, I asked for polishing so I could be sure the boat looked at her best, ready to get underway in April. The technical team were skilled, helpful and friendly, with all the work carried out on time, to a high standard and at a cost which was very good value. I would recommend Karpaz Gate Marina as an ideal location for any boat owners considering a range of technical, servicing, maintenance, or pre-season work

Attractive price, 6-star marina!
We first went to Karpaz Gate Marina [KGM] because a friend had moved there and also it was a different destination to the usual Mediterranean marinas. The price was more attractive than other marina packages. There were deals where you could extend your annual berth free of charge for 3 months while you were out of the marina sailing. There was also a deal that included a haul out, 3 weeks on the hard, water blast of the hull and antifoul. The actual marina and facilities are 6 stars. The berths are safe and well maintained and there is a large travel lift to do out-of-water repairs and antifoul services. The shower blocks and laundry are very good. Hemingway’s and the bar/restaurant are a lot of fun especially on Friday night Happy Hours. There is also a delightful bar, dining and infinity pool at the separate Beach Club a short stroll from the moorings. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a free shuttle that takes you into the nearby village Yenierenkoy each morning on request. KGM is good as there is not a VAT issue and it is a haven outside of Schengen.

Beautiful, clean and like new
I arrived at Karpaz Gate Marina after sailing from Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece and some of the islands, and Turkey, visiting 35 marinas in total. Then I arrived at a wonderful marina in which all is beautiful, clean and like new, with all the amenities and accessibility - even before the opening of the new Turkish Hamam. Oykun, the Marina Manager, was attentive, helpful and welcoming and ready to meet every request in a way I have not come across in any of the other marinas I have visited. But the diamond in the crown is Mehmet, who from the first moment received us outside the marina with a dinghy, and then helped and managed the mooring and explained and described all the facilities. He passes by every day, greets us good morning, checks the lines, and asks about any problems and if we need help. After such treatment, I immediately decided that in such a place I wish to stay. Mehmet even brought the contract to me at the boat, because in those days I had back pain and had difficulty walking. He brought the device to allow a credit card charge and we did everything at my boat. One day he saw me having a hard time walking. Not a minute had passed before he arrived with a wheelchair and took me to the boat. He is just a perfect person, loyal to his job and a true professional. I wish there were many more like him!

We will definitely use the marina's friendly expertise again!
We’re extremely pleased with the work that was completed on our motor yacht, the marina offers professional and affordable craftsmanship for both woodwork and fabrics. The highly skilled technical team are very helpful and were keen to meet our specific requests for the Passarella. The woodwork was entirely renewed based on the metal structure that already existed and the complex project proved the high level of craftsmanship available at the marina. They were also able to restore the tender boat protective cover and cushion fabrics to achieve a brand-new look.

We do not hesitate in recommending Karpaz Gate Marina to other boat owners!
We are originally from south Sweden and have been sailing since 1965. We have an apartment in Essentepe, Cyprus, so, when we bought Polaris in 2013 from Turkey, I enquired about berthing at Karpaz Gate Marina following a recommendation from my neighbour. We are delighted with our decision, as we have found we like everything about the marina, and also enjoy North Cyprus and the Karpaz region. We like sailing in the surrounding area, and also spend time exploring inland. Compared to berthing in Sweden, it is much less expensive, and of course the weather is much better!
