The complex in Ocean Village and Marina Bay has a club, over 10,000 square metres of living space and is designed for superyachts with a maximum length of 80 metres (262 feet). Marina Projects has strategically arranged the best berths in the marina in Gibraltar around the centre of the complex. The result is a top address for the really big names.
The detailed design study defines the preferred arrangement of the 270 berths, highlights the details of the mooring and explains the interplay with the infrastructure on the quays.
Small superyachts moored on pontoons
The planners provided all berths with mooring buoys, the larger superyachts park directly on the pier around the Marina Club, the smaller ones on the floating jetties.
The next phase of the project will focus on connecting the superyacht berths to the spa and other club facilities.
The marina in Gibraltar rests on small piles
During the construction work, the existing marina will continue to operate and the nearby airport must not be affected. This is the main reason why the new facility is based on an efficient mini-pile system, as this minimises noise and disruption.
