This new northeast location marks a milestone, allowing the company – for the first time ever – to offer the most discerning travelers access to its award-winning service and quality in the Washington, D.C. area.
“IGY continues to execute on its targeted expansion strategy. National Harbor has become a major tourism destination and hot bed for new development projects, making it the perfect location for IGY Marinas to expand its presence in the area,â€Â said Tom Mukamal, CEO of IGY Marinas. “National Harbor and the Washington, D.C. region were high on the list, and due to the success of the development in the area, the marina provides great potential as a yachting destination. We look forward to working with local stake holders and our strategic partners within the industry to make this destination the yachting epicenter of our Capital’s region.â€
