Ocean World Marina’s Stefan Meister has announced that the official grand opening of the marina and casino is scheduled for 16 December. And a famous band from the 60s (and beyond) has been signed up to lead the festivities.
The marina has actually been open for several months now. Phase A of the marina, basically the mega-yacht slips, offer ships passing by electricity and water service. “We are open for business; however there is construction going on at the guest services building adjacent to these docks. Other more quiet slips are available but they do not have electricity or water yet. Ocean World Marina is offering a 50% discount on published rates until construction finishes”, he explained.
By inaugural time in December, there will be about 100 wet slips (some berths for boats up to 225 feet) and 200 dry dock slips (for boats under 35 feet). The depth of the marina is 16 feet at mega-yacht area and 12 feet at the rest.
Meister is confident that the marina and its guest services building (which will have marina check in, tour desk, showers, bathrooms, laundry, car rental, a bait and tackle shop, yacht brokerage, food, liquor provisioning and more) should be completed around September.
In the meantime, boats can get fuel from a tanker truck. Pumped fuel from the fuel dock should be ready in July.
