D-Marin has announced the acquisition of Marina Genova on Italy’s Ligurian coast as it expands its superyacht presence in the Western Mediterranean. The announcement follows its acquisition of Porto San Rocco Marina Resort in Muggia and brings its portfolio to 30 marinas across nine countries, subject to regulatory approvals.

Marina Genova lies approximately five minutes from Genoa International Airport and within easy reach of the city’s UNESCO-listed streets and historic palaces. The marina also serves as a base for cruises along the Italian Riviera to Portofino, Portovenere and Cinque Terre, or further to Sardinia and the French Riviera.

The marina offers more than 450 berths across four basins and accommodates vessels from eight to 130 metres. More than 100 berths are dedicated to superyachts exceeding 24 metres, supported by deep-water berthing facilities. The site also has more than 1,000 parking spaces, restaurants, a boutique hotel and a marina village for owners, guests and crews.

For vessel operations, the marina also provides mooring assistance and a refuelling quay measuring over 150 metres. Its shipyard has cranes capable of lifting up to 100 tonnes, workshops and dry dock facilities, and specialist companies offer maintenance, refits, provisioning, yacht management and agency services.

Oliver Dörschuck, CEO of D-Marin, commented: “Marina Genova brings together the berthing capacity, technical services and experienced maritime community that superyacht owners and crews need. Its location also opens up access to some of the Mediterranean’s most popular cruising destinations. We look forward to working with the local team and building on the marina’s established reputation.”

Livingstone served as D-Marin’s financial adviser, and Latham & Watkins provided legal and contractual advice. The latest addition takes the company’s Italian portfolio to 10 marinas, up from one in 2023, following its October acquisition announcement of Porto San Rocco Marina Resort in Muggia and the opening of Marina Livorno in Tuscany to superyachts.
