Aquavista Watersides & Marinas expands into Scotland with acquisition of Clyde Marina.
Aquavista, the UK’s largest residential and leisure mooring provider, has today announced the expansion of its marina portfolio with the acquisition of Clyde Marina in Ardrossan, Scotland.
Aquavista is the UK's largest marina operator, with a growing network of 34 inland and coastal marinas across the country. Clyde Marina is Aquavista's first marina in Scotland, joining Glasson, Hull, Birdham Pool and Royal Clarence in a coastal network that now spans the north, east, south and west of Britain.
Located on the north Ayrshire coast, just 30 miles from Glasgow, Clyde Marina is situated at the heart of Scotland`s vibrant marine tourism industry. As part of the acquisition, Sunbird International Yacht Sales will also join the Aquavista group, further strengthening its presence in the coastal marine tourism industry.
Speaking about the announcement, Aquavista CEO Steve de Polo said:
"We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Clyde Marina with it`s large boatyards, ideally positioned for Scotland`s world renowned west coast cruising grounds and islands. It is a respected name within the Scottish marine industry, and we can't wait to welcome its customers and crew into the Aquavista family.
"We pride ourselves on investing in our marinas and waterside teams, ensuring that our customers' lives by the water are made easy and enjoyable. I look forward to working with the team and their broad client base at Clyde Marina and Sunbird International Yacht Sales to further improve their marina experience”.
Aquavista is all about giving customers more freedom to choose how, and where, they enjoy life on the water. With Clyde Marina now part of the group, our boaters have access to all 34 Aquavista marinas, with Explore 100 and Marina Swap benefits opening up even more places to cruise, explore and unwind.
