IGY Marinas: From Miami to the Mediterranean

Following news of one island park's opening in miami beach, we visited igy marinas to hear about what’s coming next for always expanding company  ….

Miami Beach’s One Island Park, which is already open to superyachts, is the latest addition to the Island Global Yachting (IGY) Marinas portfolio, and the facts and figures that come hand in hand with One Island Park represent one of the business strategies of the marina group. One Island Park offers a unique opportunity: a purpose-built superyacht dock able to accommodate vessels of up to 222m in length (with a water depth of 12m). Now, while the largest superyacht on the water by LOA might be a mere 180m, there is, in fact, little close to that length in build. However, with 11 superyachts beyond the 100m threshold currently in build (source: SuperyachtIntelligence ), One Island Park is certainly offering options. And to ensure these growing number of options are as accessible as possible for clients, IGY Marinas has appointed Gili Wojnowich as general manager. 

Not only that, the marina is exempt from Captain of the Port (COTP) zone regulations, allowing what IGY describes as “a rare freedom” within South Florida waters to arrive and depart at will.

One Island Park offers a unique opportunity: a purpose-built superyacht dock able to accommodate vessels of up to 222m in length.

The Miami Beach marina, where BWA Yachting is located on site, is the latest in the IGY group to offer berthing options for those superyachts at the larger end of the spectrum, with five of IGY’s 15 locations now able to offer berthing options to superyachts over 91m in length.

Sitting down with Bert Fowles, the vice president of marketing and sales for IGY Marinas, he is fast to admit that the group’s success and presence is in the Americas, rather than the Mediterranean. Yet, he says, this isn’t stopping the group from taking a closer look across the pond.

Tom Mukamal, CEO of IGY Marinas, tells us that “IGY Marinas is currently pursuing marina opportunities in the Mediterranean to expand our management and hospitality services, as well as acquire new destinations for our most discerning travelers.”

And, once more, the capability of attracting larger superyachts is key. “As part of our projected growth strategy, we continuously research facilities that synergise with our existing assets, customers, clients and strategic partners in yachting. This includes deep salt water marinas that can also accommodate larger vessels,” explains Mukamal.

Island Global Yachting Announces Inauguration of Solar Power Project at IGY Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas, USVI

by Tammy | Sep 11, 2024

PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release:.

St. Thomas, USVI | September 12, 2024 – Island Global Yachting (IGY) LLC, the only global portfolio of premium yachting destinations, today announced the activation of a large-scale solar power generation project at Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Clean, Renewable Energy

The project is a collaboration between IGY and Prosolar Caribbean, a leading solar energy provider in the region.  IGY installed a rooftop photovoltaic generation array that generates clean, renewable energy for the mixed-use property. Power from panels will supply a meaningful share of Yacht Haven Grande’s energy needs, reduce the property’s reliance on fossil fuels and lower its carbon footprint.  Additionally, the project will lessen demand on the local utility grid, freeing up power for use by the surrounding community.

“This solar project is a milestone for IGY’s renewable energy solutions and our ongoing commitment to sustainability initiatives across our global portfolio of industry-best marinas.  We are committed to working with our partners to find innovative ways to reduce our environmental impact and create a more sustainable future for the marina industry.” said Steven English, IGY’s President.

Commitment to Sustainability

“We are thrilled to announce the completion of our first solar panel project at Yacht Haven Grande Marina,” said Eric Simonton, Executive Vice President of Real Estate at IGY. “This project is a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.”

 About Yacht Haven Grande, St. Thomas, USVI

As a flagship marina of IGY’s global network, Yacht Haven Grande, St. Thomas continues to establish new standards within the global industry with this new solar power project.  Notably, the 5 Gold Anchor Platinum Marina has won TYHA’s International Superyacht Marina of the year an unprecedented 4 times and is one of the busiest charter destinations in the Caribbean.  The destination is a dedicated superyacht marina capable of berthing yachts over 656 ft. (200m). The Shops at Yacht Haven Grande are an integral part of the economy in USVI occupying 130,000 ft 2 which include 11 restaurants, duty-free shopping, charter companies, provisioning, and spectacular event space, including the iconic Harbor360 building.  There is always something exciting happening at this IGY destination, making it a vibrant hub for dining, entertainment, and luxury services for locals and visitors alike.
