Amwaj Islands has launched Amwaj Marina, its latest multi-million dinar development. Amwaj Marina will be the waterway access to Amwaj Islands and the kingdom's newest marina.
The circular 60,000 square metres marina, located on the western seafront of Amwaj Islands, became operational last week. It will have the capacity to rent out 145 berths and will be able to host up to four super yachts in deepwater berths. It will aim to offer the highest marina standards in the region.
Martin Kay, CEO of Amwaj Islands, said: "This development is considered to be one of the most important developments within Amwaj Islands. It will be the seafront entrance to Amwaj Islands and another unique attraction in itself.
"Boat owners will be able to moor in the marina and spend the day taking in a variety of other attractions located within a short distance of the marina, including the theme park, the retail centre, hotels, the beaches and Amwaj Beach Club - taken together, some of the finest recreation facilities in Bahrain.
"We are excited to be launching the marina after almost two years of planning and development to make way not only for a world class marina, but a marina that will serve as the waterway to Amwaj Islands, providing boat owners with access to attractions and residential communities by way of the sea. This will make for a unique experience, not only for the residents of Amwaj, but also for visitors to the Islands."
The developers are confident that the marina will become a popular destination for boat owners across Bahrain because of "its efficient and convenient services designed to provide a smooth, trouble-free marina experience".
"It will also boast a host of entertainment services for the whole family including water sports, sailing lessons, beach club facilities, and, in due course, it will feature cafŽs, and swimming facilities," said Peter Jennings, marina manager of Amwaj Islands.
Amwaj Marina is described as a 'five-star facility' that upholds the highest marina standards in the region with advanced security systems and the latest equipment.
Additionally, the marina will host boating activities and lessons through the Sail Laser Academy, and in the future, it will offer a variety of water sports including windsurfing, kayaking and pedalo.
