Mexico’s only 5 Gold Anchor status awarded to IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas, MX, August 27, 2024 – A momentous occasion for Mexico – IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas is proud to announce that it has achieved its 8th year of 5 Gold Anchor status for its dedication to the highest operational standards. As the only marina in Mexico to receive this award, which is strictly administered by The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA), IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has set a benchmark in excellence. TYHA is one of the oldest international yachting associations in the world. TYHA audits the world’s best marinas through an arduous process that considers factors including ambience, planning, policies, procedures, customer service, environmental initiatives, facilities, and infrastructure. The five-gold anchor status confirms IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas as one of the finest marinas in the world, bringing a sense of pride to not only the marina’s employees and customers but also to Mexico. This achievement builds on the extraordinary successes of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas and IGY, as the marina was also awarded International Marina of the Year in 2015.
Supporting the Cabo San Lucas economy
IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has demonstrated its commitment to the Mexican community by rebuilding homes for residents, establishing a substation for the Fire Brigade, and renovating a school building and playground for children with physical disabilities. These initiatives are driven by the marina’s 100+ employees in Mexico, who set the standard for exceptional service across the region.
“The Yacht Harbour Association has set the highest quality of marina standards, and we are humbled by receiving this award year after year showing our dedication to the local community by creating and developing such an exceptional property,” remarked Enrique Rivera, General Manager of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas. “We will continue to champion the marina as part of our global portfolio supporting not only the Cabo San Lucas economy, but also promoting the beautiful country of Mexico and Cabo San Lucas as a lovely vacation destination.”
Delivering the very best in customer service
The IGY Mexico team achieved these successes by focusing on delivering the very best in customer service to a demanding international clientele with a deep sense of trust in the IGY brand. These milestone achievements attest to IGY’s unrivalled international brand strength, with four marinas in the network ranked as five gold anchors, one of the only platinum ranked marinas in North America, and the company winning the coveted Superyacht Marina of the Year award an unprecedented 5 times. Notably, these prestigious designations must be renewed every 3 years to ensure continuity of service, and IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has maintained its rankings for almost a decade.
