IGY Marinas and Marina Bahia Golfito Announce Extended Strategic Partnership | Weekly Voice
Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica — March 30, 2026. IGY Marinas, a global leader in premium marina destinations, and Marina Bahia Golfito, Costa Rica’s premier eco-luxury yachting hub, have extended their strategic partnership to further position Marina Bahia Golfito as a flagship destination for superyachts and discerning mariners worldwide.
Anchored in a shared commitment to sustainability, exceptional service, and elevated marine hospitality, the renewed agreement deepens long-term collaboration between the two organizations. Located in one of the world’s most biodiverse and carefully protected regions, Marina Bahia Golfito offers guests access to lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and remarkable wildlife—while prioritizing responsible stewardship of the surrounding environment.
Costa Rica has rapidly emerged as a compelling charter frontier in the Americas, driven by rising demand for expedition-style itineraries, eco-conscious travel, and remote cruising grounds. The Golfo Dulce region, in particular, is increasingly recognized as a strategic destination for superyacht and charter operations. Marina Bahia Golfito sits at the center of this growth, providing the infrastructure, service standards, and environmental leadership necessary to sustain and elevate the region’s yachting appeal.
IGY Marinas’ leadership emphasized that extending the partnership underscores the company’s focus on delivering exceptional destinations for captains, owners, and crew. Marina Bahia Golfito’s distinctive eco-luxury proposition and alignment with Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” ethos continue to resonate with a global clientele.
The recent arrival of two IGY Trident vessels at Marina Bahia Golfito underscores the destination’s growing prominence within IGY’s international network. Through the Trident program, members benefit from guaranteed dockage, priority services, and seamless access across participating marinas—advantages that come to life in Golfito’s extraordinary, environmentally responsible setting.
Marina Bahia Golfito echoed the enthusiasm, highlighting that the extended agreement strengthens a shared mission: to elevate Costa Rica’s position as a world-class yachting hub while safeguarding the natural wonders that define the Golfo Dulce. The marina’s team, known for attentive service and local expertise, continues to champion conservation-minded operations that enrich the guest experience.
The partnership also supports ongoing enhancements to infrastructure and amenities. Investments include a natural pool, a fitness center, and upgraded crew facilities such as showers—alongside expanded destination concierge services and sustainable development initiatives. These improvements reinforce Marina Bahia Golfito’s status as one of the Pacific’s most desirable and environmentally responsible superyacht ports.
