The Christophe Harbour development in St Kitts is set to break ground on its marina, the government announced.

The 300-berth marina will break ground later this month, with a ceremony planned for June 20.

The marina will be able to accommodate small craft and mega yachts from 85 to 300 feet in length.

All vessels will reportedly be able to use the marina’s facilities, while yacht owners, captains and their guests will be able to access a private club, a full concierge and hospitality services.

The government said Christophe Harbour would also be a designated port of entry with “streamlined Customs and Immigration services.”

The Christophe Harbour project will soon be home to a Park Hyatt hotel and a Tom Fazio-designed golf course.
