Limassol Marina is honoured to receive an honorary distinction by the Cyprus Ministry of Energy, Trade and Industry and the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce, in recognition of the Marina’s contribution to the Cypriot economy, particularly in the tourism sector. This Honorary Distinction to Limassol Marina further cements the Marina as a driver for tourism and economic growth by positioning Cyprus on the nautical yachting map, opening a new market as the first private port with the ability to welcome superyachts to the island, attracting investments in the region, upgrading the island’s tourism product, enticing buyers and visitors from high end markets, encouraging repeat visits to the island and creating new jobs for more than 1000 individuals.

Limassol Marina became one of the first marinas in Europe to receive the Clean Marina accreditation from The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA). This prestigious industry award recognises the marina’s considerable investment and dedication in preserving and promoting environmental responsibility and sustainability across the entire project, implementing the best practices across all operations. Limassol Marina is committed to continue innovating and pushing for improvements in environmental protection measures to safeguard the seas and waterways; collaborating within the industry and with customers, tenants, and contractors to reduce the environmental footprint of operations and remain a force for good in terms of sustainability.

Limassol Marina became only the 5th Marina in the world to be awarded with the prestigious “5 Gold Anchor Platinum Award”, in recognition of outstanding facilities and services, alongside operational excellence and industry-leading design. Jointly administered by UK’s The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) and Australia’s Marina Industries Association (MIA), this Global Scheme aims at raising standards in marinas across the world that provide high-quality customer-centric services. The evaluation comprises 89 separate Gold Anchor criteria, covering all areas of the marina operations, with a particular focus on facilities, customer service and infrastructure. The highest distinction for exceptional marinas across the world, is undoubtedly a testament to Limassol Marina’s superior quality, unparalleled concierge services and continuous commitment to maintain its facilities and services to the highest standards.

Limassol Marina has been firstly awarded ‘Blue Flag Marina’ status in 2016 renewing this every year, in recognition of its commitment to environmental best practice, awareness and protection. Being the first Marina in Cyprus to have attained this global accolade, the achievement distinguishes Limassol Marina for its high standards in environmental management throughout its facilities and operational procedures, as well as its efforts to ensure and promote environmentally responsibility among all visitors, residents and boat owners. The international Blue Flag Programme is run by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), a non-governmental environmental organisation. It is also represented by national organisations in each of the participating countries in Europe, the Caribbean, New Zealand and South Africa.

The company is ISO 9001 certified for its adherence to quality management principles and procedures. It holds the ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management and practices, both in terms of implementation of rigorous guidelines for pollution protection, clean waters and safety of marine life, and responsible management of waste generated across the operation. The ISO 45001 certification for Occupational Health & Safety demonstrates the attention to health & safety best practice employed at Limassol Marina, through strict policies and safe working procedures for all staff, contractors and marina users.

The Silver awards received by the Marina acknowledge its ground-breaking achievement in regards to the completion and delivery of the luxury Castle Residences, the only properties built on the sea in Cyprus; and exemplify the exceptional level of dining offered across this world-class yachting destination. The Gold award further recognises Limassol Marina’s drive to implement innovative best practices and technologies into its operations, be this through enhanced service levels, stringent health and safety regulations, or increased environmental initiatives to mitigate environmental and marine impact.

The ground-breaking marina development is the recipient of a national “Land Development Company Project” award, at the Cyprus Architecture, Property & Interior Design Awards by IMH and INBusiness magazine. Rewarding the most prestigious projects in architecture and interior design, the accolade celebrates Limassol Marina’s distinguished architectural style and design ingenuity. Designed by a world-renowned team of architects and engineers, the Marina’s architectural style draws from elements in the nearby old town of Limassol, transforming them into what has today become an urban landmark that seamlessly combines a thousand-year-old past with a contemporary present. An extension of the cultural heart of the city, the Marina’s residences and commercial structures have their own distinct character and personality, designed with sustainability in mind while also meeting the needs of its residents, tenants, visitors and the local community.
