Sailing in the Caspian Sea - Coming Soon

'Caspian Sea showing Kazakhstan city Aqtau on the eastern coast'   
If you’ve run out of ideas for new places to sail, then you soon may be able to consider the Caspian Sea! Yachting is spreading with surprisingly rapidity to areas once hardly associated with sailing. On the eastern seaboard of the Caspian Sea, the town of Aqtau in Kazakhstan, known mostly for its nuclear reactors, is planning a marina for 150-200 yachts.

Last week the Aqtau town planning council approved a project for the construction of a ‘yacht seascape’, which is basically a protected shelter for 150-200 yachts, or a marina.

According to the project’s author, director of Briz-A company Andrei Chulakov, the seascape will be located in the natural bay of the Aktau coastland.

Other facilities will include Beach rescue services, diving and surfing, as well as a multifunctional leisure centre and hotels.

The head of the region charged the Aqtau akimat and Mangystau Investment Company in close cooperation with the project’s author to study thoroughly the seascape construction issues. The expected project commencement date is March 2007.
