The new Wind Surf Marina boldly embodies Windstar’s identity – bringing guests closer to the sea in a way that feels both adventurous and refined. We wanted it to have a playful “fun garage” vibe, with lacquered blue storage wrapping the stairs, colorful murals, and bold signage that makes you instantly excited to dive in. The lighter, more inviting materials and stylish furniture create a welcoming atmosphere, while a streamlined layout makes the transition from deck to sea safer and easier than ever.
But more than just a platform, the marina has become a destination in itself. Guests can relax on new floating AquaBana loungers as if they were at a private beach club, or head out on a kayak or paddleboard to get in their daily exercise. Snorkeling gear, foam float mats, trampolines, and sailboats add to the sense of play. Whether you want to relax or explore, the marina makes the sea the star of the show.
This project captures what sets Windstar apart in a crowded market: intimate yachts, immersive destinations, and a lifestyle that celebrates the joy of being right at the water’s edge.
