"Mulpha intends to broaden the service offer and undertake significant reinvestment into the marina to position the marina as the first choice for berth holders of recreational vessels well into the future.

"A key component of this is integrating other assets of Sanctuary Cove, such as the golf course, village and hotel, to make the overall experience even more enjoyable for our marina berth holders."
