Superyacht Tenders Get Super Space: Falmouth Harbour Marina Unveils New Dock
Attention superyacht captains and fishing enthusiasts! Falmouth Harbour Marina in Antigua has expanded its offerings with a brand new 180-foot Tenders Dock. This expansion caters to two key needs: providing dedicated space for the increasingly larger tenders accompanying superyachts, and offering a comfortable haven for sportfishing vessels participating in local tournaments.
There’s now more space to tie up your tender at Falmouth Harbor Marina, in Antigua. The marina built the new 180-foot Tenders Dock primarily for two reasons, says Robert ‘Bobby’ Reis, general manager. “First, the tenders of the superyachts are getting larger and if the docks are full, cannot be accommodated alongside the yacht. Some tenders are between 40- to 60-foot in length and their values range from US$1.3 million to US$2.5 million and more. So, this dock will accommodate those tenders and others which may be smaller.”
Secondly, Reis continues, “We host two tournaments annually for the Antigua and Barbuda Sports Fishing Association. The first one is held on the Whit Weekend and is a Caribbean Tournament and the other is usually in October, which is a local event. Our wide, concrete docks which were designed and built for superyachts are too high to comfortably accommodate the fishing vessels so this new dock will be ideal for them. We always try to satisfy our clients’ needs and make their experience here as comfortable as possible.” antigua-marina.com
