Date set for Christophe Harbour Marina groundbreaking ceremony

Basseterre, St. Kitts (CUOPM) — Ground will be broken later this month for the marina at Christophe Harbour.

The 300 acre marina and mega yacht harbour is part of the luxury residential resort development on St. Kitts’ Southeast peninsula separating the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

The ceremony is planned for June 20th 2014 at 4.30 P.M. at the Christophe Harbour site that is naturally protected by mountain peaks and the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The marina will accommodate small craft as well as mega yachts ranging from 85 to 300 feet in length.

All vessels will be able to utilize the marina’s state-of-the-art facilities and services while yacht owners, captains and their guests will have access to a private club, a full concierge and hospitality services. Christophe Harbour will be a designated port of entry with streamlined Customs and Immigration services.

To compliment the marina village, a variety of real estate opportunities exist across the development which include beachfront, harbourside and hillside homesites. Sandy Bank Bay, the debut residential neighbourhood, is set along a horseshoe bay with two reefs and a natural sand bank.

The bay is a marine sanctuary which will remain free of boat moorings to ensure sea life and property views are protected.

Christophe Harbour will also include an 18-hole golf course designed by world famous architect Tom Fazio. The course is routed for play across the volcanic hills 500 feet above sea level to maximize the views and down along the harbour. Tom Fazio has designed more than 200 golf courses around the world.
