The marina is expected to catalyse marine tourism, sailing, yacht services, hospitality and harbour-linked visitor movement, and add a new dimension to Mumbai's harbour economy by connecting the city's maritime heritage with tourism, training, marine services and waterfront activities.
The project forms part of Mumbai Port Authority's larger initiatives in cruise tourism, harbour services, waterfront development and optimum utilisation of port-linked areas for city-related activities including the Mumbai International Cruise Terminal, water taxi network and heritage waterfront precincts.
