Marina manager Andrew Rokstad said the early part of the year had been busy with vessels pulling in to port before COVID-19 restrictions were put in place.
"We had with three superyachts extending their stay by three months.” he said. “At the moment we have five superyachts here, including an 85m, a 53m and three in the 40m range.
“Forward bookings are also looking good for the upcoming season.”
It comes as the Marina team step up its superyacht presence with a rebranding of the Marina, an updated website page, new brochures catering to the wider superyacht market, helpful guide handouts for superyacht visitors, as well as new uniforms to be ready in the coming weeks.
“We cater to some of the biggest superyachts in the country. Our Marina is one of a few capable of welcoming vessels up to 140m in length and we have fantastic staff to ensure an outstanding visitor experience,” Mr Rokstad said.
“We live in a glorious part of the world, we have a beautiful marina right next to the city, and we are always ready to share it with visitors.”
