| | | | | The largest mega yacht marina facility on the west coast of the Americas will soon put down anchor at “Porto Hussong” in the port city of Ensenada, providing much-needed and long-awaited slips for luxury mega yachts. In addition to the coastline condominiums and boutique hotel, the centerpiece of the 16-acre world-class Porto Hussong resort will be a 290-slip marina with 76 recreational vessel berths capable of handling mega yachts up to 400 feet in length. | | | | | | | “We’re already receiving inquiries and reservation requests from affluent yachters around the world,” says Doug Bowers, director of marketing for Meridian Development Group, LLC (MDG) building Porto Hussong. “From this early response and the pent-up demand, we anticipate that the marina will quickly become one of the most popular yachting destinations on the western seaboard.” | | | | | | | In the last several years there’s been a worldwide boom in the construction of mega yachts -- private and corporate boats boasting 100 feet or longer. Here on the west coast in waters from Alaska to Baja, yachts ranging from 200 to 400 feet and priced from $50 million plus are not unusual. But according to international marina designer John Corrough of The Corrough Consulting Group, it isn’t all smooth sailing for millionaire mariners. Construction on the marina is expected to begin summer 2008, with grand opening anticipated in summer 2009. Ground has already broken on the first phase of the $450-million project that will be a unique mixture of premier resort retreat and exclusive residential enclave. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
