succeeding in attracting/reaching out to/involving* local residents Explanation: * This is tricky if you don't have more context. It could be understood as meaning physically fitting into the neighborhood, reaching out and involving local residents, attracting them as consumers to their facilities or a number of other possibilities that depend on the size of the complex and the number of spaces open to the general public. |

but which also cater for residents in the surrounding area Explanation: Companies specialising in more tourist-oriented/focused marinas, but which also cater for residents in the surrounding area Another idea for you, there are many possibilities. I don't find the Spanish especially well-written |

also catering/welcoming to locals Explanation: I made a suggestion for the first part of this phase so I might as well post an alternative for the rest. I guess marinas are often seen as exclusive playgrounds for the rich where even the locals feel that they don't fit in so I think the source text pretends to dispel this notion (recreational) marinas geared more towards tourism/with a more tourist-orientated spin, while also catering to locals This time we went across the street (another 20 steps) from the bistro to a fine seafood French restaurant also catering to locals http://www.dennyp.com/MiscTripReports/club_orient_c__r__0904...
