Whether you are seeking for a secluded paradise in the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and South America, or the bustling glamour of the Mediterranean and Caribbean hot spots, the Camper & Nicholsons team is the first to know when it comes to berth availability.
Finding a berth for a superyacht in excess of 125m can be particularly hard, as marina space for vessels of this size and stature is limited. In the Mediterranean, Porto Montenegro tops the list for the greatest length catered for, with a berth that can accommodate a yacht up to 250m in length. One Ocean Port Vell in Barcelona and Port Vauban in Antibes, however, have a greater number of berths able to accommodate yachts between 125m and 165m. Port Vauban itself can actually boast over 100 berths specifically designed for superyachts, and this highly sought-after location on the southern coast of France is beautifully positioned for those who enjoy cruising the French and Italian Riviera.
A number of superyacht marinas have benefitted from significant investment in recent years, with Yalikavak Marina in Turkey and Christophe Harbour in St Kitts being two notable examples. Yalikavak Marina, near Bodrum, is the first marina of its kind in the country and has been bolstered by a $45,000,000 investment that has allowed for the development of a luxury esplanade with stores and restaurants, a hotel and world-class marina facilities.
Some of the world’s most elite marinas include Marina di Porto Cervo in Sardinia, one of the most expensive marinas for berth purchase and daily berthing fees, and Port Hercule in Monaco. A veritable icon of superyachting, Port Hercule and the additional private berths available at Yacht Club de Monaco combine luxury, extravagance and flamboyance in equal measure.
When considering your berth choices, local marina support and infrastructure, security, and proximity to your desired cruising location are key factors. Discuss your requirements with the experts at Camper & Nicholsons.
