A Look at 30 Superyacht Marinas

One thing I like about finally having EHBLX running is that I can go back to work I have already done and give some of it a proper place here.

I originally put this research together while looking more closely at marinas as both marine infrastructure and coastal developments. The result was a comparison of 30 marinas across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, looking at things such as berth capacity, the size of yachts they can accommodate, mooring rates, nearby real estate and the wider business around them.

Marinas are interesting because the basic function is easy to describe: protected berthing, access, services and support for boats and yachts. But once you compare different places, the differences become much bigger than berth numbers alone.

Puerto Banús

Official website ↗

Puerto Banús in Marbella has around 915 berths and can accommodate yachts up to approximately 50 metres. In the original research, peak daily mooring reached about €4,289, while an annual 15-metre berth was around €30,000. Luxury retail is a major part of the waterfront around the marina, so a lot of its economic value extends well beyond the berths themselves.

Ibiza Magna

Official website ↗

Ibiza Magna had around 539 berths in the research, including approximately 12–16 superyacht slips, with yachts around 60 metres accommodated inside the marina and larger vessels using outer berths. Peak daily rates reached roughly €4,084 and nearby property values were around €8,000 per square metre. Its strongest differentiator is the seasonal economy around Ibiza, where the marina is closely connected to nightlife, hospitality and private aviation.

Marina di Porto Cervo

Official website ↗

Marina di Porto Cervo has around 700 berths, including approximately 60 for superyachts, and can accommodate yachts up to around 120 metres. Peak daily mooring was around €3,176 in the research, with local property values around €9,500 per square metre. The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup adds another dimension to the marina, especially through its long connection with high-level sailing and Costa Smeralda.

Marina Grande

Official website ↗

Marina Grande in Capri has around 300 berths but only about 10 superyacht slips, with a maximum yacht length of approximately 60 metres. Peak daily rates were around €3,000 and local property values were approximately €11,688 per square metre. Superyacht capacity is limited, but Capri definitely does not have a destination problem.

Marina di Portofino

Official website ↗

Portofino is even more constrained. The official marina currently lists 16 moorings in total: six on the central quay for superyachts up to 64 metres, two more in Baia Cannone for yachts up to 80 metres, and eight for boats under 18 metres. Peak daily rates in the original research were around €2,398, while local property values reached approximately €17,650 per square metre. There is simply very little space here, and that scarcity is part of the marina's value.

Port de Saint-Tropez

Official website ↗

Port de Saint-Tropez has more than 700 berths, with around 30 suitable for superyachts and a maximum yacht length of approximately 70 metres. Peak daily mooring in the research was around €1,300 and nearby property values around €13,500 per square metre. The marina remains strongly connected to the summer tourism economy, while events such as the Giraglia Rolex Cup bring sailing into the picture as well.

Port Hercule

Official website ↗

Port Hercule in Monaco has around 760 berths, with roughly 110 positions for yachts over 24 metres and capacity for very large vessels. A normal peak daily rate in the research was around €1,200, but during Formula 1 week some berthing packages reached about €129,990. Monaco's yachting subsector was valued at €567.1 million in 2022, with Port Hercule working as one of its main operational hubs. Add the Monaco Yacht Show and Formula 1 and the marina becomes part of two major international events during the year.

Port Vauban

Official website ↗

Port Vauban in Antibes goes in another direction with sheer capacity. The official marina now lists 1,500 berths, with the main port able to receive yachts up to 150 metres. Inside the IYCA, 18 dedicated superyacht berths can take yachts up to 160 metres. The original research also recorded the Port Vauban 21 modernization program at approximately €135 million, making the marina closely connected to the wider yacht-service economy of the French Riviera.

Porto Montenegro

Official website ↗

Porto Montenegro's current marina information describes more than 500 secure berths, with yachts accommodated from 6 to 250 metres. The investment numbers from the original research are probably the most striking part: cumulative capital investment was about €1.021 billion, while the development contributed roughly €20.9 million to GDP during the first half of 2025. The marina was developed on the site of the former Arsenal naval base in Tivat, so the scale goes well beyond the marina basin itself.

Yalıkavak Marina

Official website ↗

Yalıkavak Marina has around 620 berths and can accommodate yachts up to approximately 140 metres. The research linked the wider marina economy to more than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs, with nearby property values ranging from roughly €2,100 to €7,700 per square metre. Peak villa rentals ranged between €2,000 and €10,000 per week, which gives a good indication of how strongly the marina is connected to the wider luxury-tourism economy around Bodrum.

Yas Marina

Official website ↗

Yas Marina currently operates 227 wet berths and 93 dry berths, while visiting superyachts can be accommodated up to around 175 metres. What makes it unusual is obvious from the aerial view: the marina is built into the Yas Marina Formula 1 circuit. F1-week packages in the original research ranged from AED 125,000 up to AED 1.47 million, while the circuit itself had a reported construction cost of about $1.322 billion.

Jeddah Yacht Club

Official website ↗

Jeddah Yacht Club is much newer, opening in 2021 after reportedly being built in around six months. The official marina currently lists 93 berths and says it can accommodate yachts over 100 metres. Its differentiator is less about real estate and more about location because it also operates as an official Red Sea port of entry for international yachts.

Dubai Harbour

Official website ↗

Dubai Harbour currently lists 705 berths and accommodates yachts up to around 160 metres. The research placed it within the UAE's AED 90 billion maritime economy, while surrounding real-estate transactions were reported at approximately AED 9.284 billion during Q1 2025 alone. The marina is also connected to a dual cruise terminal, which gives the development a scale that goes far beyond yacht berthing.

ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove

Official website ↗

ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore currently lists 270 wet berths and 60 dry berths, with superyachts accommodated up to around 220 feet, or roughly 67 metres. The current member rates still match the original research at about $7.63 per foot per day and$190.31 per foot per month for yachts over 120 feet. One of its more practical differentiators is the dedicated customs, immigration and quarantine facility inside the marina, which makes clearance easier for yachts moving through the region.

Marina at Keppel Bay

Official website ↗

Marina at Keppel Bay, also in Singapore, has 168 concrete floating berths and can accommodate very large yachts. Its infrastructure includes high-grade concrete attenuator pontoons designed for the surrounding commercial channel, while the marina itself forms part of the wider residential development on Keppel Island.

Porto Arabia Marina

Official website ↗

Porto Arabia Marina in Doha can accommodate nearly 900 vessels, with two dedicated superyacht marina areas serving yachts in the 30 to 60+ metre range. The annual rate in the original research for a 40-metre megayacht-class berth was around QAR 5,050 per metre. The marina was developed as the primary marine anchor of The Pearl-Qatar, where the waterfront is closely tied to the residential and commercial development around it.

The numbers are obviously not permanent, but this still gives a useful snapshot of what these marinas looked like at the time of the research, with current official figures updated where they could be clearly verified.

Research Snapshot

Below is a simplified comparative table from the original marina research, updated where current official marina information was available.

Research note: this table is based on my original marina research, with figures updated where current official marina information could be clearly verified. Capacity, maximum vessel size, rates and operating arrangements can change over time, so individual marina data should always be checked against current official information.
