Marina owners and operators, Camper & Nicholsons Marinas have agreed terms with Edinburgh Marina Granton Harbour Limited to design, commission, manage and operate the new Edinburgh Marina.
It will form the centrepiece of the £500 million waterside quarter development close to Edinburgh city centre and gateway to exploring Scotland’s cruising area.
The Marina will provide 315 fully-serviced berths comprising approximately 24,400 sq. m. of berthing that forms the centrepiece of Edinburgh Marina Holdings masterplan for the whole 28 hectare site.
The wider vision for the Edinburgh Marina Development represents a truly unique opportunity for both Edinburgh and Scotland, to create a cross-generational lifestyle hub which combines state of the art facilities and a wide variety of housing tenures located in a unique and vibrant new waterside district a stone’s throw from Edinburgh city centre.
Located 2.5miles (4km) NW of central Edinburgh, the Marina development will be a unique new leisure and residential destination for Scotland’s capital city, bringing new life and vibrancy to a key area of Edinburgh’s coastline. The Marina is located 12m (16km) from the bridges over the Firth of Forth and 8 miles (12km) from Edinburgh International Airport.
The Edinburgh Marina Development benefits from transport links via road, sea and rail, which will be further improved when the new tram extension to Granton and Leith is completed.
The new Marina will enable Scotland’s capital to compete for a major share of Scotland’s burgeoning £3.7bn marine tourism industry by creating unique new world-class facilities to help expand the size of Scotland’s overall berth availability.
Designed to surpass the Yacht Harbour Association’s 5 Gold Anchor rating, Edinburgh Marina will comprise 315 fully serviced berths providing 24/7 access to the sea, a state-of-the-art marina office and fully serviced boatyard and dry-stack operation.
Visitors to the new Marina will enjoy unrivalled amenities including Camper & Nicholsons renowned service levels, together with secure parking with optional storage. Edinburgh Marina will be located immediately next to the Edinburgh Marina Spa and Conference Hotel, so yacht owners will be able to benefit from on-board food & drink service and concierge services, as well as access to the Hotel spa and gym.
Edinburgh Marina is expected to attract boat owners and enthusiasts from around the world with the ability to accommodate the full-size range of yachts and cruisers.
