Genoa, Italy – D-Marin, the premium marina operator, has announced the acquisition of Marina Genova, one of the Mediterranean’s leading destinations for yachts and superyachts, marking a significant milestone in the Group’s expansion strategy.

Located in Genoa, Italy, Marina Genova will strengthen D-Marin’s superyacht offering across the Western Mediterranean, increasing the Group’s portfolio to 30 marinas across nine countries.

The marina features more than 450 berths accommodating vessels ranging from 8 to 130 metres in length, including over 100 dedicated berths for superyachts exceeding 24 metres. Its four basins, deep-water berthing facilities and advanced technical infrastructure have established it as a leading hub for large yachts and their crews.

In addition to its extensive berthing capacity, Marina Genova offers more than 1,000 parking spaces, restaurants, a boutique hotel and a comprehensive range of amenities within its marina village, catering to yacht owners, guests and crew members.

Commenting on the acquisition, Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin, said: “Marina Genova brings together the berthing capacity, technical services and experienced maritime community needed to meet the requirements of superyacht owners and crews. Its location also provides access to some of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after cruising destinations. We are delighted to work alongside the local team and further build on the marina’s well-established reputation.”

Situated just five minutes from Genoa International Airport, Marina Genova offers convenient access for international yacht owners and guests travelling from abroad to board their vessels. Its proximity to Genoa’s historic city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, also makes it an ideal starting point for cruising to renowned destinations such as Portofino, Portovenere, Sardinia and the French Riviera.

The marina provides 24-hour berthing assistance and features a fuel quay measuring more than 150 metres in length. Its technical facilities include a shipyard equipped with a 100-tonne lifting crane, workshops and dry storage facilities. In addition, a network of specialised partners provides a wide range of services, including maintenance, refit, provisioning, yacht management and technical assistance.

The acquisition further strengthens D-Marin’s presence across Italy, complementing its existing network in Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia and along the Adriatic coast. It will also provide customers with greater flexibility and more options when planning their cruising itineraries throughout Italy and the wider Mediterranean.

Completion of the transaction remains subject to obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals from the relevant authorities.

D-Marin was advised by Livingstone as financial adviser, while international law firm Latham & Watkins provided legal and contractual advisory services.
