Full Description & Details
IGY Malaga Marina is a dedicated superyacht marina on Muelle Canovas in the port of Malaga, on Spain's Costa del Sol. It opened in July 2022 and is operated by IGY Marinas in partnership with Ocean Capital Partners and the Port Authority of Malaga.
The marina sits right at the city centre, with La Malagueta beach nearby and Malaga international airport a short drive away. The facility is a megayacht marina, not a general-purpose harbour, and it is fully ISPS compliant.
