Bermuda dock opens for superyachts
St George’s Marina and Superyacht Dock on Ordnance Island in Bermuda was officially opened on 22nd May. The facility is able to accommodate up to ten superyachts and has a 170ft (52m) fixed concrete pier and an additional 140ft (43m) floating dock.
Honourable Premier David Burt said the development symbolised the Government’s commitment to enhancing the Corporation of St George and the community. “One of our significant promises was to deliver the construction of a world-class marina that would serve as a catalyst for Bermuda as a superyacht destination – a further step in the economic renaissance that has been taking place in the Olde Towne.”
“This new marina capitalises on the prominence and strategic location of Ordnance Island and will give St George’s the unique ability to provide excellent amenities to yachting visitors and jobs beyond construction in areas such as the new lounge,” he added.
The project was originally conceived in October 2010 but, although an agreement in principle was made with St George’s Marina Development Ltd (the developer), a change in government led to a five year hiatus. In November 2021, a 21-year leasing agreement and PPP between the developer, the Corporation of St George’s and the Government set the ball rolling.
