Vilamoura Announces New ‘Nova Marina’
+1 
Construction is now underway on the highly anticipated new marina development in Vilamoura, Portugal, which will officially be named Nova Marina.
The state-of-the-art facility will feature 68 berths meticulously designed for large yachts ranging from 20 to 40 meters in length. Three pontoons with the 68 berths will be installed, equipped with the latest technologies for user comfort and environmental sustainability.
“This new marina in Vilamoura really sets the destination apart and responds to the growing needs within the market in relation to large boats, which currently pass this part of the coast,” said Isolete Correia, Interim CEO of Vilamoura World. She added: “The new marina is also the result of our constant desire to improve the service we provide to our clients. These clients and those that visit and stay in Vilamoura, are the real focus of this project and are the ones we work for on a daily basis, to provide them with an ever better and more extraordinary experience.”
Each berth will include features like individual waste-water pump-out systems, charging stations for electric boats, and remote monitoring of utilities. Work is also planned to explore implementing desalination systems and solar power generation.
Construction on Nova Marina is expected to be complete by end of 2024. The development follows Portugal’s booming tourism industry, which welcomed 30 million international visitors last year.
