Port Louis Marina chosen as Grenada base for The Moorings charters
From October 2010 Camper & Nicholsons’ Port Louis Marina will be the base for The Moorings’ luxury charter operation in Grenada. Situated adjacent to the island’s capital, St George’s, and only five miles from the international airport, the marina is perfectly placed for arriving charter guests, and grants immediate access to the breathtaking cruising grounds of Grenada and the Grenadines.
It’s southerly position makes Grenada a year-round destination, and The Moorings will be offering bareboat charters and all-inclusive crewed vacations on a fleet of 11m to 15m (35ft to 51ft) custom-built catamarans and monohulls. Varied itineraries will explore the countless islands and anchorages, sandy beaches and historic sites, and tours of rum distilleries, spice plantations, waterfalls and national parks will pose a rare treat.
Commenting on the announcement, Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation Hon Glynis Roberts stated, “As Minister it is indeed a great honour to welcome TUI to Grenada. Their presence as an International Investor, we hope, would certainly enhance the marketing of Grenada as a leading yachting destination offering superb year round sheltered anchorage, great sailing waters, top class facilities with the ideal blend of a warm and friendly nation of people."
Cheryl Powell, The Moorings Chief Operating Officer, remarked, “This new base is a shining example of our dedication to scouting out the world’s best cruising grounds, shore-side surroundings and welcoming cultures for our guests’ enjoyment. They are sure to enjoy the top-notch facilities and service standards for which Camper & Nicholsons are renowned. And Grenada’s natural beauty, both afloat and ashore, make it the perfect yachting destination.”
Port Louis has 160 fully serviced berths with water and electricity, as well as 24 hour security and marina-wide internet access. Facilities ashore include washrooms and laundry, a bar, restaurant and pool.
James Beaver, Operations Director of Camper & Nicholsons Marinas, said, “We’re delighted to have been selected by The Moorings as their southern Caribbean base. The momentum has been building in Port Louis since we first opened some 18 months ago, and we already have sailmakers, provisioners, tour operators and other businesses operating out of the marina. But this shows the potential for Grenada as an international yachting destination, now that the right facilities are in place. The Moorings and their guests are known for their demanding standards, and we will work hard to make sure we surpass their expectations.”
