IGY Marinas has been appointed as the marina operator for Wynn Al Marjan Island Marina in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates.
The appointment makes this the second IGY Marina destination in the Middle East, with Wynn Al Marjan Island set to be the first integrated resort in the United Arab Emirates.
IGY Marinas has been engaged by Wynn Resorts to advise on the marina’s design and development, offering pre-opening advisory services, followed by post-opening management and marketing services.
The operators aim to make Wynn Al Marjan Island a premier integrated resort, featuring 1,530 rooms and suites, and entertainment and leisure amenities.
IGY Marinas will manage the resort’s marina at the resort, designed to accommodate leisure craft and superyachts.
“Our involvement in the Wynn Al Marjan Island project represents a significant milestone for IGY Marinas,” said Steve English, CEO of IGY Marinas.
