Grand Harbour Marina has just confirmed its position as one of the most highly rated marinas on PortBooker.com, the world’s largest online nautical guide featuring over 8,500 marinas around the world.
PortBooker.com which also offers yacht owners the possibility to book their berth at their next port of call in real-time, listed Grand Harbour Marina amongst the highest five most rated marinas alongside Festival Marina in Dubai, Real Club Nautico de Palma and Port Adriano in the Balearic Islands and Marina de Portimao in Portugal.
In its brief description, the online portal describes Grand Harbour Marina in Vittoriosa as “one of the finest marina locations in the world and with its location within one of the largest deep water natural harbours in the world, is perfect for those sailing and cruising the Mediterranean, offering unrivalled views, a stunning setting and access to Malta’s historic capital.”
“These are the achievements that we strive for and that prove our ongoing commitment to offer berth holders at Grand Harbour Marina, the highest level of product and service,” commented Ben Stuart, General Manager of the marina. “We are proud of this achievement but more importantly, such a result should also be of great news to all those who invest in our marina.”
Meanwhile, Grand Harbour Marina announced some interesting figures. Between January and September, a total of 116 superyachts have visited and berthed at Grand Harbour Marina in Vittoriosa with some of them visiting Malta more than once over the same period. There was also a good number of superyachts that recently berthed at Grand Harbour Marina, such as Mar (49.90m), Serafima (41m), Kanaloa (48m), Akalam (32m), Lola D (32m), E&E (42.09m), Gardenia (33m), Infinity (29m) and Nostromo (30m).
“Our marketing efforts never stop. We participate in a number of international boat shows and we are present where it matters most. In fact, the recently announced berth sale was concluded at one such event. However, when we have captains and boat owners speaking highly of our marina and the personalized service we are giving them and we see them coming back, that’s the best vote of confidence that we can get in return,” added Mr Stuart.
“Malta’s location is strategically placed and this comes handy especially now when the weather starts becoming a bit more unpredictable and boats, no matter how large they are, will always need to find their next sheltered port of call when conditions out at sea become inclement. We are equipped with all the services and the amenities that any captain would need, we are on duty 24 hours a day, we have trained staff who are always on call and above all, we have one of the most attractive and scenic marinas in the Mediterranean. All this is contributing to the ongoing business and the growing popularity of our marina,” concluded Mr Stuart.
