Mivan Completes Work On Islander For Margaritaville At Sea

Mivan, a leader in marine outfitting, has successfully completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the Islander, the newest flagship of Margaritaville at Sea.

The company was tasked with transforming the retail areas, photo galleries, concierge services and future sales sections, which included the installation of bespoke joinery, artwork and artifacts.

Completed in just one month at the renowned Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, the project received high praise from Terramare.

Francisco Porras, Managing Director at Terramare, lauded Mivan for their exceptional project management and high-quality work, especially under a tight deadline. He said: "Mivan demonstrated a very professional and strong performance in the renovation of MVAS Islander. Mivan's management team demonstrated valuable work ethics by providing solutions to our "last minute" requests, our Terramare group needed to find capable local (Belfast, Northern Ireland) outfitting representation and we found it with Mivan. They were optimistic by helping us value engineer several public areas based on our needs, despite the tight installation delivery deadline. We are very thankful for their commitment to our renovation project. They certainly demonstrated an exceptional project management service and high quality of work. We look forward to working with Mivan in a future renovation project."

The Islander now offers an array of thrilling features, including the three-story LandShark Bar, The Tiki Bar adult lounge, a 14-story tropical atrium and the Caribbean Amphibian Splash and Slide. These upgrades aim to provide guests with an unmatched experience of enjoyment and adventure.

Mivan's successful collaboration with Terramare sets a positive precedent for future projects, ensuring that the Islander remains a premier destination for sea-bound leisure.
