Luxury Yacht Charters Inside The Famous Casa De Campo Marina.

MARINA CASA DE CAMPO GENERAL INFORMATION

 

A vibrant, cosmopolitan blend of people and pleasures best sums up what the Marina Casa de Campo has to offer. Boating enthusiasts the world over have fallen in love with the beautiful architecture, the bars, restaurants, entertainment venues, stylish shops and the surrounding waters. Mediterranean Elegance with Caribbean Flavor. Architect Gianfranco Fini and developer Piero Giacosa, two visionary Italian gentlemen with roots as designers, had a dream. In 2001 they brought their vision halfway around the world to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. There they met with the owners of the fabulous Casa de Campo resort who heard these men, listened to their dream, and gave it wings.

 

Today their dream is a reality – on the spot where the Chavón River meets the Caribbean Sea, at the edge of Casa de Campo, the Caribbean’s most complete and luxurious remarkably chic resort, there now exists a yachting community. The Marina is ideally situated in the center of the Caribbean for easy and convenient access by sea from Florida or the islands of Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and St. Martin. Capable of accommodating mega-yachts, Marina Casa de Campo is a fully modern Marina with complete amenities and services. In addition to the breathtaking view of the Caribbean, yachters will be charmed by the Mediterranean-style architecture of the Marina villas designed to evoke the old seaside villages of southern Italy, but equipped with the most modern services to guarantee a comfortable and relaxing stay. Marina Casa de Campo covers an area of more than 90,000m2 (22.25 acres). The Inner square at the Marina, known as Calle Barlovento, includes furniture, clothing, and eyewear shops, and real estate offices.

CASA DE CAMPO YACHT CLUB

The Yacht Club is a beautiful, stately facility that entices yachtsmen off the seas. This private club, open to international transit visitors, is an architectural gem designed by Gianfranco Fini with striking lounges, a stunning bar, winding staircase and open upper and lower ocean view terraces.

Last year we concluded a major refurbishment of our Yacht Club with a new lounge, the Garden Room on the second floor, and updated furniture and decor. A kitchen was added for the first time, serving light food and tapas to members and guests. Designed and decorated by architect

Gianfranco Fini, the Club is of central significance to Marina life and a refined gathering point for major international events. Built in colonial style, the Club was designed to give the impression that it has always existed in this strategic location at the Marina, between the village and the bay. With its impressive size and grand portico, the Club is a major attraction in the Marina where, apart from being the center of operation of all port-related activities including international regattas and events, it is also a place to relax with close friends and family members, enjoying dinner parties and intimate gatherings. For the interior of the Club, Fini’s aim was to evoke an atmosphere of older times.
