The “5 Gold Anchor” award is a global standard of excellence for marinas, reflecting exceptional quality in areas such as customer service, environmental protection, facilities, and infrastructure. TYHA, one of the oldest international yachting associations, rigorously audits marinas worldwide to ensure they meet these exacting standards. This recognition not only highlights the marina’s outstanding performance but also brings pride to its employees, customers, and the nation of Mexico.
Supporting Cabo San Lucas’ Economy
IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has consistently demonstrated its dedication to the local community. The marina has played a crucial role in various community projects, including rebuilding homes, constructing a substation for the fire department, and renovating a school and playground for children with physical disabilities. These initiatives, driven by the marina’s over 100 employees in Mexico, reflect IGY’s commitment to providing exceptional service and supporting the local economy.
Enrique Rivera, General Manager of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas, expressed his pride in the marina’s accomplishments, stating, “We are honored to receive this distinction year after year. It demonstrates our dedication to the local community and our commitment to creating and developing an exceptional facility. We will continue to drive the marina forward as part of our global portfolio, supporting the economy of Cabo San Lucas and showcasing Mexico as a beautiful and charming tourist destination.”
Unmatched Customer Service
The success of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas can be attributed to its unwavering focus on delivering the highest level of customer service to an international clientele. The marina’s achievements are a testament to the strength of the IGY brand, which boasts four marinas awarded the “5 Gold Anchors,” one of the only platinum-rated marinas in North America, and a marina that has won the coveted “Superyacht Marina of the Year” award five times—an unprecedented feat. Notably, these prestigious designations must be renewed every three years to ensure continuous quality, and IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has maintained its classification for nearly a decade.
As the only marina in Mexico with the “5 Gold Anchor” distinction, IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas has earned the trust of the international nautical tourism community. The marina serves a dynamic community that includes commercial, charter, sportfishing vessels, and superyachts, and it is grateful for the loyalty of its clients over the past 18 years.
Leticia Delgado, Administrative Manager of IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas, expressed her pride in the team’s dedication, stating, “I am very proud of the level of service provided by the wonderful employees in Cabo. The extraordinary dedication and hard work of our team are a credit to the hardworking culture of the Mexican people.”
IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas features 380 slips for vessels up to 375 feet (114 meters) in length, located at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula. The marina serves both local and international clients and is home to prestigious international brands as well as local artisans. It has hosted renowned sportfishing tournaments such as the “Bisbee’s Black & Blue” and the “Los Cabos Offshore Tournament” for nearly two decades, generating significant annual revenue for Cabo San Lucas.
