Brandy Marine To
Manage Costa Rica's
Marina Papagayo
Brandy Marine
International, of
Sarasota, FL, USA, has
been selected to manage
the new,
state-of-the-art,
full-service Marina
Papagayo located at the
exclusive resort
development at Peninsula
Papagayo on the
northwestern Pacific
coast of Costa Rica, one
of the hottest new
travel destinations in
the world.
Marina Papagayo promises
to be “the finest marina
on the Pacific coast of
Central America,”
according to Capt. Bruce
H. Blomgren, CEO and
president of Brandy
Marine International.
The 350-slip marina,
located within the
2,300-acre Peninsula
Papagayo resort
development, will open
Dec. 15, 2008 with 179
wet slips, ranging in
size from 35’ to 120’ in
length. The average size
slip will be 60’ in
length. Larger
mega-yacht slips up to
240’ in length will open
Dec. 20, 2008.
“Brandy Marine’s
expertise in all aspects
of the creation of
Marina Papagayo and its
management of the marina
are key forces in
creating one of the most
dynamic amenities of the
Peninsula Papagayo
resort community,” said
Alan Kelso, Chief
Executive Officer for
Peninsula Papagayo.
"When Marina Papagayo
opens in December and
becomes home to elegant,
luxury mega-yachts and
sport fishing yachts,
the marina basin will be
a visually stunning
scene as well as an
integral part of the
resort," Kelso said.
Construction of Marina
Papagayo began in the
summer of 2008 and is
continuing at a rapid
pace to meet the Dec. 15
opening date. The marina
is being built with a
ShoreMaster floating
dock system. ShoreMaster
has created dock systems
for marinas throughout
the world. The dock
system at Marina
Papagayo is designed to
give boaters ease of
access to their vessels
by providing a constant
gunwale height at all
times. An extensive
floating breakwater will
maintain a smooth and
calm environment in the
marina basin, keeping
the basin and vessels
free from wind and wave
activity.
Yacht slips at Marina
Papagayo will have
generous dimensions to
accommodate today’s
newer, larger, longer
and wider vessels. The
docks themselves will be
wide enough to allow for
golf carts and
pedestrians to pass each
other safely. Slips will
be available to
transient boaters or in
a non-equity club
structure.
In-Slip Amenities Will
Include:
- Metered 30/50 amp,
110/220 volt, 100/400
amp, single phase and
three phase electrical
power.
- Water (included in
slip fee)
- Wi-Fi (included in
slip fee)
- Cable TV (included in
slip fee)
- Pump-out (included in
slip fee)
- Concierge services
