Anchor Marina, delivered in partnership with Nakheel, represents one of IGY’s most prestigious projects. The marina’s 590 berths will provide private yachts, between 10-30m in length, modern infrastructural elements such as spacious concrete pontoons in conjunction with some of the most modern technology available to boat owners, including LED illumination, underwater lighting, wireless internet connections and bespoke concierge services.

To reflect the prestige that is associated with Palm Jumeirah, great care has been taken to ensure that the structure and quality of service experienced at Anchor Marina will position it one of the world’s most well-appointed marinas. The East Clubhouse will be designed for families whilst the West Clubhouse will have a sophisticated atmosphere with fine dining restaurants.

Michael Horrigan, CEO for Middle East and Europe of IGY said, “We are delighted to announce the scheduled opening of Anchor Marina for this December. It’s a fantastic product that will propel Dubai onto the global stage as a yachting destination of choice.

Located on the iconic landmark Palm Jumeirah, which is instantly recognisable around the world, we have worked hard to deliver, what we believe is a marina that will complement its fabulous surroundings.”

“We know that demand for Anchor Marina will be high so we decided to explore new ways of leasing its berths to ensure a level playing field for interested parties - and the idea of an online auction site developed.

We are anticipating a huge demand for the berths and this has been considered the most transparent and fair way of launching the first tier of leases.”
