The Arkin Group is to take over the management of North Cyprus based Karpaz Gate Marina with Liza Singer stepping down from her role as MD, a role she has held since 2005.
Liza will remain involved with the marina on a consultancy basis.
The Arkin Group, led by company founder Erbil Arkin and based in North Cyprus, was established in 1995 initially taking over the management of hotels.
The group later diversified into the yacht tourism field and is also the owner of Arkin Pruva Yachts, a builder of motor and sailing yachts, including two new electric solar catamaran eco models.
In 2017, the Arkin Group moved into the education sector with the opening of ARUCAD, the Arkin University of Creative Arts and Design.
Qualified lawyer and CPA, MBA and investment manager Liza joined with late British entrepreneur David Lewis CBE when the Karpaz Gate Marina project was first initiated in 2004 and continued to act as the owner’s representative and MD of the €120 million project.
I am delighted to be handing over the management of Karpaz Gate Marina to a company with relevant expertise.

“While I will be moving on to the next adventure and to focus on other business concerns, I am delighted to be handing over the management of Karpaz Gate Marina to a company with relevant expertise, local knowledge and exceptional synergies with our ethos and mission.”
“We have monitored the growth and success of Karpaz Gate Marina with great interest in recent years, so we had no doubts about accepting this exceptional opportunity which complements our current hotel range perfectly,” said Erbil.
“The synergies between the companies are significant. Arkin Group bring years of experience in luxury hotel management in the TRNC, as well as knowledge of the international tourism sector, to the management of Karpaz Gate Marina.”
